Charmilles 440sl

[smsunman805]

Can somebody that's ran a Charmilles Wire EDM help me get a working post processor made?

Hi @smsunman805 ,

If you would like, find a post processor that is close in the library, create an Autodesk support case with any additional changes that are needed, and someone from the post team may be able to help you.

Thanks,

The post for the 440sl, doesnt include a number of missing elements, IE: Regimes (number of passes) S501-S504, Line for adding "tec" file, progressive offsets for number of regimes.  Ill post a program that Esprit spits out.  This is a program that Charmilles sent me for a test.

Hi @smsunman805 ,

If you would like help from the post processor team please follow instructions in my initial post.

Thanks,

Will Watkins

the post processors included are basically posts a tool path in an .iso format.

attached is the post we have been using.  This post will create the sub program then we have to create our command program manually with the , tech file, regimes, and part locations. In the Esprit post a command program is not required.
