I bougth a CNC that uses a modified "Fanuc 16M/Fanuc 0M".
I want to generate the right NC code for my machine.
I have only a post in "*.txt" file
how can I import it in masterCam (MasterCamX2).

Specification of the machine:
Router 3 axes
fixed table
work area: 1800/3000mm (x,y)
z: 150mm
spindle: 6000 to 30000 rpm
P: 4Kw



folloing the post on notepad (.txt extension):

your post needs to have the ".pst" extension. a ".txt" extension will do nothing.

is it possible to create it from the .txt file?
with a trial version of Type3 the .txt file is anought.

The file you have is a post for another cam system. Did you try using the standard mastercam posts before deceiding to reinvent what everyone else has done?

Start with a Mastercam post that works and then make changes to that.

Otherwise Your really making more work for yourself.

Hi Mike

i was not aware of that. just trying to help this fellow half way around the world.

Gerry

maybe I'm not good enought with Mastercam (for sure), but these are the steps I've followed:

1-Machine def. manager
2-Router
3-Controle file: Generic Fanuc 3X Router.control
4-Post: Generic Fanuc 3X Router.pst
5-Machine configuration: Router X axis + Router Y axis + Router Z axis (on Router head group) since my table is fixed and the head of the spindle is the only parts that moves.

Control Def:
1-Existing Def: Router
2-Post pross: Generic Fanuc 3X Router.pst

And than I have a warning message:
"The machine doesn't have any valid axis combinations defined and can not be used in a tool path group"
I do not see what I can add in the machine definitions. I don't have any other parameters to introduce.
