Post processor for millplus IT v600

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a deckel maho DMU 50 Evo linear (2011). The controller is  heidenhain millplus ( I believe it's v600) . Does anyone have a working 5 axis post for this machine? 

The millplus post from Autodesk is almost correct but the machine can not read the "%programname" at the start or when the code has a "."  After A0 B0 or C0. Ex. A0. B0. 

Many thanks!

Hi,

I'm afraid I don't have a working post for you but it sounds like it shouldn't be too complicated to modify the post you've currently got.

A good general way to edit the post is to use Visual Studio Code. The process for this is pretty well explained by NYC CNC here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OWT-O4oN8E

I'm not certain without seeing the full code example and the post but it sounds like you'll just need to remove the line it can't read in "function onOpen() {" (the exact code to change can be worked out with VS Code) and change the A B C formats to not force decimals:

var abcFormat = createFormat({decimals:3, forceDecimal:false, scale:DEG});

This would mean whole numbers would no longer have decimals e.g A20. would become A20

It's a little more complicated to make the post processor only remove the "." on 0 values but completely possible.

Hope this helps!
