I have multiple, but this particular mill is the PC mill 55. It has Fanuc 21 controls on a windows PC.
Thanks for the tips guys! I just went through each post processor that they had available for fanuc controls one by one and I found one that worked. To be specific I downloaded them to my own location on the PC and refered to those, it seems that the fanuc post processor that is installed be default with inventor (or HSM works or something, I have tons of autodesk stuff installed) did extra stuff, although I'm not sure. The working post outputs strictly the code with no comments or fancy stuff.
The only thing I have been unable to figure out (Haven't looked much into it yet) is it gives an error code to the extent of "F value out of range" (not verbatim but you get the idea). I went in and changed the F value (Feed value, right?) manually from 960 to 100 then the machine accepted the code with no errors. If I remember correctly the F value should be in mm/min? I'm puzzled as to this error as the machine should be capable of 2000mm/min max feed.
But for now all is working and I'm happy
When you guys suggest things like single stepping through the code, I understand what you guys mean but I'm lost with this interface at the moment. I almost gave up and just retrofitted to linuxCNC, but now I'm going to learn a thing or two about the controls on this machine since I've got the post processor figured out (except for the f value)
