Post Processor Revise

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Sep 2021 08:31:15 GMT

Hello all,

I have downloaded the postprocesso "siemens mill-turn r42995" for our Siemens 840D sl 5-axis (CTX Alpha 300 - Gildemeister) for Fusion360.

Now I have tried a test piece. However, the programme contains terms which are not supported by the machine.

Part of the programme:

; %_N_1001_MPF
N10 WORKPIECE(,,,"CYLINDER",192,30.5,0,1,40)
N11 G94 G18
N12 G71
N13 LIMS=6000
N14 G53 G0 X250 D0
N15 G53 Y0 D0
N16 G53 Z300 D0

N17 MSG ("; Planen1")
N18 G18
N19 DIAMON
N20 T1
N21 M6
N22 SETMS(1)
N23 G97 S1=416 M1=3
N24 G54
N26 D0
N27 M8
N28 G0 Y0
N29 Z66 X70
N30 SETMS(1)
N31 G96 S1=91 M1=3
N32 Z31.414
N33 X50
N34 G1 X42.828 F0.13
N35 X40 Z30
N36 X-0.4
N37 X2.428 Z31.414
N38 G0 X70
N39 Z66
N40 SETMS(1)
N41 G97 S1=416 M1=3
N42 M9

........

Now the M6 M8 commands are not supported, and T1 must always use the TC(1). Can anyone help me how to adjust the PP?

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous

You placed this question into the wrong forum. This is the PowerMill forum.

Please address this in the Fusion 360 Manufacture forum.

Thanks,

Generally speaking, M6 is a tool change code and M8 would be a coolant activation code.

Within the post settings themselves, you can deactivate tool change and coolant settings so that they do not appear in the code with it is being written.

What software do you have for post processing?

I work with Autodesk Fusion360. It should be the same like Inventor
