Please point me in the right direction (Omniturn)

[Zebu Fellenz]

I am drawing up simple turning parts in Mastercam X2 MR1 that I would like to run on our Hardinge Omniturn lathe at school. I am lost when it comes to post processors and really don't even know where to start looking for a way to get the right post setup for this machine.

At the moment we have been taking the generic post processor and then editing the G-code outside of Mastercam to try to get it running on our machine.

If anyone could give us a hand it would be greatly appreciated.

If you need any Machine details or anything else please ask and I'll try to find the answers tomorrow.

Thanks,

Erik

-we also have a prototurn lathe with a Fagor 8025? control that we could run these part on if that would be easier to get running.

-edit Fagor control is a 8025

Well it looks like the solution for the Prototurn Fagor post may be an easy one. I found the post on the education portion of the Mastercam site.

Still looking for some help on the Omniturn though
