What has the dealer said about your post? Who is your dealer if you don't mind me asking? I can give them a call and help them get this sorted out.

Its inhouse solutions....

The dealer is ready to provide..... I'm just collecting 5k they need upfront for post and simulation...

I tried it.... It is still doing 360 turns... I followed your instructions and posted the program, I didn't see any difference in postcodes. Was I suppose to make those changes in HAAS machine definition or default Mastercam's machine def. I even tried putting 43.3 and G68.2(thanks to G codes you posted earlier, now I know where exactly these codes go). I didn't get any alarm, which means i have those codes available. but these 360 turns aren't getting old.

Can you please show me what a program looks like with DWO and TCP or attach an NC program file?

DWO (G68.2) and TCP (G43.3) I assume?

I have always used G43.3 with Table-Table machines. How you access the 19700 center of rotation parameters.

I have no idea how to access 19700 center of rotation parameters. it's just like the quote "Japanese never makes anything easier". I tried going thru the programming manual and all it has is a bunch of drilling/tapping and some contouring.

You could use the 5 axis haas post. Will need to delete g187. G43.4 is for head head machines. Not needed here. 

I just made the program and used the haas post

the codes. I had to delete G93 and some other haas specific codes. and changed B axis to C. The machine is still doing the same thing. C axis still keeps rotating. Below are some sample codes. The codes seem right for what they are going to do but i don't know why C axis is taking 360 degrees turns. It clearly says from Y-1.0586 C-81.223 F300. goto Y-1.0495 C-81.032 F300.. but machine is like, nope that 360 for me....

Hi, I'm trying to do a slot on my multiaxis machine. its a trunnion type machine. C around Z and A around X. The post definition is under progress but i need to fill an order.

I have tried everything i could but still can't find a way around it. I have attached a mastercam file for the reference.

When i run the generated program, the C axis keeps turning. I don't know if i should put G43.4 (TCP) or not. Just afraid it might hit somewhere. I did try it however, just saw one funny move created by Z axis and then i stopped.

I do have license for 5 axis but i don't have a post yet. I posted this thread in Educational Forum by mistake before and it was deleted.

Please help.

Hi Guys, I need little help in customizing a post processor. I have a Maho MH 800C with Philips 532 contoroller. It has two spindle. One horizontal and other one is vertical. Machine's horizontal positioning is its default axis means it reads XYZ as horizontal machining center but when i activate vertical spindle it reads Horizontal's Y axis as its Z axis and Horizontal's Z Axis as its Y axis. 

Example:- If i put G01 G91 X2.5 Y2.5 Z2.5:

The horizontal spindle will read it as a normal machining center but the vertical spindle will read Y2.5 as its Z2.5 and Z2.5 as its Y2.5.

So , where should i make the changes so that it post program by itself. i Know its gonna be different version of post processor but that's ok. Please Help.

Thanks

try these....

I recently updated my mastercam version to X7 and i have option of mill-turn in Machine type list but i can't find machine definition for mill-turn. Please help me in finding that. Thanks
