Looking for post

[aiwnios]

Trying again...

Does any have a :

4 axis
MasterCam v9
Bostomatic 312
postprocessor

... or a lead on where
to find one?

(Reseller hasn't one...)

Mastercam comes with many many posts on the CD. I've seen one that starts with MPBos, see if you can find it on the CD. If not, ask your reseller for it. When you get it, post some code with it, then come back and maybe we can walk you thru making the mods yourself. (I'm sure it's just a switch you need to toggle inside the post to enable 4th axis.)

p.s. Asking someone to give you a post will usually get you ignored, or flamed. Most MC users modify their own posts, or pay to have them developed, so asking for 'freebies' is a no-no. Keep in mind that while they won't just give you a post, they'd be more than happy to help you with yours..

Hi guys!
I have just been assigned as a cnc programmer, and our programming tool is Mastercam V9. I have made a program with mastercam V9, to test on our machines in the shop, but none of the post processors work properly. I just wondered if anyone of you have succecfully altered some mill post processors for machines like:
1."Bridgeport Interact 520 with heidenhain TNC 155 controller"
2."Mazak Variaxis 630-5x with Mazatrol 640 M controller"
3."Mazak MTV-515/40N with Mazatrol M plus controller"
4."Mazak Micro-Center H12 with Mazatrol M-1 controller"
From the look of it, it seems like I can get some help here, any help I can get will mean a great deal to me.

Kim you are saying this company bought MC V9 and did not get with the dealer for posts on those machines.

Oh & what way are you running te Mazaks EIA or Mazatrol?

[Kim]

Hi Cadcam
We are running Mazak EIA now, but we are going to upgrade to invest in the Mazatrol program soon.
My boss is very cheap, he won`t buy these post from the reseller, because they are way too exspensive. Some of them costs up too 40 000 Norwegian kroner about 5500 - 6000$.
To save our very small workshop some money, I asked for them here on this forum, in hope for some luck.
A program to make these posts, with manual, would also be of great help, can someone help me with this???

thats if i'am allowed

Peter there is not problem at all helping someone edite ther post.

that is a good thing if you can.
A good post is a good thing.As a dealer I am sorry that I can not just give out posts all day.But it does take me time to adjust them and that is time and money..

But I will try and help and give suggestions..

Kim so you know a proper Post can make you or breake you.

As for the Mazatrol post thought this is a specialty chhok item from Caimax Systems and not a standerd post.

But So you have a mixture of lathe and mill .
The post for the Mazak Variaxis 630-5x is a hard post to work with along with it also being a 5X machine.

your boss does not want to spend a few 1000 dollars after spending hundreds thousands on these really nice machines.
But does not want to make sure they are coded corectly.

I am sorry just don't understand these thoughts.
All I can say is good luck in your search.
