Looking for Haas NGC 4th Axis Post

povilas.sabaliauskas — Sat, 03 Nov 2018 15:52:25 GMT

Hello,

I wanted to ask if there is a post processor for Haas VF6 NGC with 4th axis rotary table?

Does this HASS -Next Generation control post processor will work for this setup?

We want to find the best solution for working with this CNC machine.

Looking forward hearing from you.

Have you tried the NGC Post available HERE?

According to the documentation, it does include support for Multi-Axis indexing and simultaneous motion.

Yeah, No. The post for 4th axis on a NGC doesn't work without having the DWO option as of now.

I just used the older A-axis Pre-NGC post on a new Vf2-SS and it worked just fine, tested Flow in multi axis mode, it worked.

So my idea is, just used the older Pre-NGC post with A axis support if you dont have bought the DWO option.

If you have, just use the NGC post.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

So as I understand i should try to use this one HAAS (pre-NGC) ? in description Generic post for use with all common 3-axis HAAS mills like the DM, VF, Office Mill, and Mini Mill series. Does this have A axis support? Or i picked the wrong post-processor ?

Thanks in advance.

No, you would want to use this one: Haas Pre-NGC/w A-axis
