Hi,
I'm a noobie here and have a question regaring a hurco post. I have created a program on MC X, using Flow 5 axis cut path. When I try posting it with MPHUR and I look at it in the editor I only get 5 or 6 lines of G-code.When I post the same program in MPFAN I get aprox. 350 lines of code.My Question is , is the hurco post not capable of translating the 4th axis (A axis) movements? and if so could someone please point me in the right direction as to how to edit my post to give me the output I desire.
Thank you in advance for help.
Best Regards
Les

I would recommend you send your files including post to your local dealer as they should be able to help you the best.

If you know how to modify a post processor then I would use the Generic Fanuc 4 axis and modify it's output to match your hurco machine. It is easier to change general formatting of the code output than it is to add rotary logic to a post.

Hope this helps
