  1. Hi everyone first time posting anything on here, usually just use this site to do some stalking for ideas on posts. I finally ran into a post issue that I can't figure out on my own. Anyways, in our shop we are running makino a51's and mori nh4000 and usually we use top solid for programming but because there is so many bugs in top solid, we are moving back to mastercam and I am trying to get the post to mimic what we had in top solid. One of the things that would post out from the top solid post was a variable feed rate so we could change the feed rate global from the controller looks something like this F[40.*#997]. I only want it post out on linear moves. i.e not tap cycles! Any ideas?
  2. I downloaded the mpaster X8 post processor. Updated post, control, and machine def to X9. Trying to use the post for a 4 axis HMC (B rotary axis). I make the Top plane the WCS, Front plane is the Tplane --- no B axis index (should be B0.0) when i post. However everything seems to be working fine when I change the Tplane to another plane. In this case I do get B index moves, which is what I want: WCS Top, with Tplane Right outputs B90.0 WCS Top, Tplane Back -- B180 WCS Top, Tplane Left -- B-90.0 Is there a way to get the post to output B0.0 ? thanks Bret
  3. I am looking for a list of variables/postblocks that Mastercam uses when posting. Specifically I am looking for ones that relate to the tool group, WCS, and operation name. I would like to add them in to my programs as comments so that operators know what is going on. I can do that part, I just need the list. Thanks.
  4. Hello, I need to write code that will change the program name on a specific line and only that line in the header of the program. What I need is to remove spaces and dashes from the program file in the text of the program to act as a unique identifier for a DNC library. For example: the file name is (AB-1234-67-01 Rev 0 ver 2 Seq 20). I need it to read (DNCID AB1234567R0V2S20) but only on that line in the NC file. Any ideas? % O0 (AB-1234-67-01 REV_0 VER2 SEQ20) (DNCID AB-1234-67-01 REV_0 VER2 SEQ20) <----- CURRENT OUTPUT (DNCID AB12346701R0V2S20) <------------------ DESIRED OUTPUT (PART DESCRIPTION: ) (POST = MODIFIED HAAS 3X MILL.PST - MODIFIED 09/02/2015 BY JK) (DATE - 03-09-15 TIME - 08:34) (MATERIAL - ALUMINUM INCH - 2024)
  5. Regarding Mastercam's inbuilt post processor,is RTCP including in Fanuc 5 axis machining post? if yes,how to set up and make it in operation?
  6. I made a new post processor for CNC with mastercam X. I tested my post and made some G code with out any issues. After I tried to play with the component files and better understand that section of mastercam. Now I have this error when I select my file in the MACHINE TYPE: SELECTED MACHINE DOES NOT HAVE VALID AXIS COMBINATION. THE GROUP'S MACHINE WILL NOT BE REPLACED WITH THIS ONE. So I cannot genarate code this way. The only way I can modify my post and genarate g code right now is by opening previous mastercam files that I did in the past and link with the post. Can soneone help me fix this please?
  7. This may be a very noob question. When I Post out my toolpaths (G1) while I have a Mill machine selected it will open a save window that asks me where to save this file. This dialog opens to the folder where my mastercam file is saved. When I have a Lathe machine definition selected it automatically saves the file to a generic folder without opening a save dialog window. This means I have to go to this generic folder and get my file and re-save it elsewhere. I am sure there is some setting that I don't know about that I can change so that the Lathe machine definition will also ask for a post destination like it does for my mill definition. Can someone point me to this setting? Thank you, Luke
  8. I am working with a university and am setting up a new VMC, a SMTCL 850E. It has a tool magazine so the post must have the M6 on a seperate line and then call up the next tool # Anyone have someting like that? I am curently useing a generic Fanuc Post. Still running X5 Thanks for any help. Bill
  9. I have searched the forums on how to enable HPCC in the post, but I have only found this thread: http://www.emastercam.com/board/topic/71735-aicc-g05q1-how-to-enable/?hl=hpcc#entry834720 It is helpful, but only shows where to enable HPCC in the misc values tab from within the parameters of a given toolpath. However, I see that there is a check box on the misc values tab that says 'Automatically set to post values when posting'. Is it possible to configure the post so that HPCC will be automatically turned for all toolpaths that support it, instead of having to individually enable each toolpath? Also, I did post out a toolpath with HPCC enabled in the misc values tab, but G05 P10000 was added after G43 -- Aren't all tool length offsets supposed to be canceled before HPCC is enabled, which would mean that g05 P10000 should go before G43? thanks Bret
  10. Hi! I urgently need a post processor for Mastercam V9, x2 or x6 for machine Deckel Maho DMC 63V with Siemens 810 / 840D. Thanks
  11. I'm trying to get my post to change my sub number to the tool number times 100 and I can't get the sub number to change to at all. What I I'm getting is this: ( ROUGH PROFILE ) T1 M6 ( .375 ROUGHER E.M. ) G0 G90 G54 X-.145 Y.3445 S12000 M3 G43 H1 Z.1 M8 T2 M97 P0001 ( ROUGH PROFILE ) G90 G55 X-.145 Y.3445 Z.1 M97 P0001 M9 G91 G28 Z0.

M5 M01 I've been trying to change stuff in the post here: psub_call_s$ #Call to sub level result = nwadrs(strp, sub_prg_no$) sub_prg_no$ = sub_prg_no$ + 1000 #Add sub number offset <------------------- I tried several different ways of doing the "=" on this line but I can't get it to change at all. if progno$ = sub_prg_no$, result = mprint(sprgnerror) pbld, n$, "M97", *sub_prg_no$, e$ I'm not even sure if I'm trying in the right place or not. I'd also like it to give me the program number + 1 for each sub for a different post. I'm guessing the change between the two would be pretty similar. Thank you very much.
  12. I've been working on a custom drill cycle for my post and I've almost got it but I can't get it to input the feed with the value I have given it in my custom drill parameters.

  13. Hi, I am having issues with the use of a misc. integer in my post. what I need to do is add a N1590 #[600+#4120]=XXX (xxx = misc.integer 3 amount set in tool path) N1600 M98P7000 at the end of the tool before the next tool. I think I have almost got it but when i post is is out putting the integer amount set for the next tool not the current one. and it post no amount on the late tool ext: N1590 #[600+#4120]= (Should be misc. integer amount set in tool path) N1600 M98P7000 This is what I have done sav_mi3 : 0 fmt "" 4 mi3$ In the pretract #End of tool path, toolchange i added sav_mi3 = mi3$ if mi3$ >=1, ## Daniel [ pbld, n$, "#[600+#4120]=",mi3$, e$ ## Daniel pbld, n$, "M98P7000", e$ ## Daniel ] Please help Thank you,
  14. I'm having trouble editing my post to give me a work offset call with a G90 A0. at the end of my program.

M5 G28 Y0. G0 G90 A0. M30 % And this is what I want: G0 Z1.1 M9 G91 G28 Z0. M5 G28 Y0. G0 G90 G54(or whatever work offset program is using) A0. M30 % Thank you
  15. On my Mori post I don't get any lock or unlock codes (M10 and M11) as well as no B. move, (which would be B0.). I get these codes when I have rotations programmed but I still want/need the code when doing just doing work on B0. How can I get these codes to come up without B axis rotation?
  16. Hi All, I am an instructor/Tech support and I am getting more and more calls about editing posts. I've been reading over the MP post processor reference guide which is helpful, however, as some one who is unfamiliar with post language, I still have a ton of questions. For example, in the book it doesn't specify what a dollar sign "$" does to a line of code and when you're supposed to use them, or a pound sign "#". I am just looking for a guide that will truly start me from scratch because I am sure a lot of this is just common knowledge when it comes to coding. Thanks!
  17. Can anyone help me with post issues for xxxxor 8055 control? I'm getting bad coordinate error on machine. The problem is with arc outputs. The gcode is G2 x,y,z, I,j. The post doesn't always put a k out. I have noticed that the z coordinate is the same as the line before.

  23. want to change post so that cycle def is before 1st move
  24. I need a bit of a help editing a X5 post mpfan.pst for 2-axis plasma machine: the goal is having M73, M75, G4 (plasma on with delay) before feed movement and M74, M76, G4 (plasma off with delay) before every rapid movement and before M02. I managed to edit the post to almost desired result, except that I get M73, M75, G4 before many feed movement lines even that this funcions are still active from previous lines. I need to enter this functions to NC only the first time the feed movement (linear or circular) was engaged, then again if a rapid movement (G0) was used. Below I pasted a current NC output to give you a better understanding of my problem (unwanted code is stiked through): N100 G90 N110 G92 X0. Y0.
