Picking the right Post Processor

[Anonymous]

I am new to Fusion 360 and I have a question about selecting the correct post processor. My machine is unique and I purchased it from a company that no longer builds the small 4x8 table CNC machines. Is there help offered to selecting the correct PP, or perhaps designing a PP if one does not currently exist? Unfortunately my knowledge is limited.

What brand and model is the machine and do you have the manuals for it

No manuals and I purchased the demonstrator model. I also have Rhino and after sending an existing file to them, they put together a PP that works well with the machine. Attached is a pic of the machine and the software that I use.

Have you asked the manufacturer of the control system if they still use the same control system as your model or have the manual for it.

Okay, I do have a manual for a later version but what I have is a Delta Tau PMACNC-32 version 2.36. I called Delta Tau and they said to look for "Delta Tau" or "PMAC" and I don't see either on the PP list.

We have some good information about Posts in the Reference manual for Fusion.  How to select a post and what you need to create a custom post.

There's not one there, for your machine.

Having a look through the manual it looks quite standard try with the fanuc post and if it has any errors what are they.

Will do. That was a thought of mine as well. I'll give it a try.
