Need Help!- UG NX 7.5 Post Proceesor

[gcgasson]

Hi, I am new at this and we have just purchased a Roland MDX 540A. We urgently require a post processor for UG NX 7.5 and was hopping someone could point us in the right direction?

Where do I get one for NX? Is it possible to create my own and how dificult would that be?

Please I require anyone'e assistance.

There is a library of free posts available, so you may find something close there. Then use Post Builder to customize it. From NX Manufacturing, go to Help, Online Technical Support, Download NC Postprocessor.

Your reseller also has access to more posts, and should be able to create one for you if you don't want to do it yourself.

There is a Post Library at http://download.ugs.com/unigraphics/...post_index.htm.
You need a Siemens WebKey account to access. Sign up for a WebKey account with your customer ID / Server ID. (Help -> About NX -> System Information -> Server ID)

However, there is no post in the library for the Roland.

I found the programming manual at http://support.rolanddga.com/docs/Do...CODE_EN_R1.pdf

This looks like a pretty straight-forward machine. For simple machining, you should be able to use the "Mill 3-Axis" post that is supplied with NX

To create your own, or edit an existing post is relatively simple using Post Builder if you have an understanding of postprocessors and the machining terminology they use.

There are a few options on this machine that would require some custom code:
Helical interpretation, G10 Data Setting, G39 Corner Offset Interpretation, G50/51 Scaling.

Siemens offers Postprocessor development as a service. If interested, Contact
Joe Guagliardo (joe.guagliardo@siemens.com)

If you decide to tackle this on your own, and have questions, post them here & I'll be glad to help.

Be Well

Hi Brewmeister,

Thank you for the info. I will have a look and see if I can figure it out.

Hi,

I need help with creating a End mill tool in NX. The foot diameter is smaller than the shank diameter. Can this be done in NX and how?

Regards,
Gary

[Brewmeister]

You can use a regular End Mill (Milling Tool-5 Parameters), and enter a taper angle.
This will only represent the tapered portion of the tool. If you need to display and/or check against the shack, then you can cheat & create a tool holder with the first segment representing the shank of the tool.

OR, you can use a User Defined Tool (MILL_USER_DEFINED), also called a "Form Tool".
User Defined Tools are only used with Planar Profile operations.
