We are attempting to try out the Fusion 360 software and want to see how we can get it to post to an Anilam 3000 touch so we can try it out. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
Solved! Go to Solution.
The generic post that comes with Fusion is pretty useless, try the one in this thread. Read though the whole thread and use one of the later posts, someone else added a modified version of the post I made, haven't tried it so don't know if it's OK. As for where to save the custom post, see below.

Test the post carefully and I'd better add this

Yes the Anilam is conversational. The 3000 is the same as the 3300 and the 1100 control. No matter which post you use, you might need some changes. This is because the Anilam 3000 is a retrofit control and it could be mounted on anything. It may or may not control the Spindle, coolant, tool changer of any variety of miscellaneous functions. I believe Mark gave me the post I use for my Anilam 1100 3x Bridgeport mill. It did need a few changes. My machine is pretty basic.
Thanks Mark. Will give that one a shot!
Can you tell us about your machine?
Is it a machining center or a knee mill with a retrofit?
Can you program spindle on/off and RPM?
Coolant on/off? Do you have a toolchanger?
I rewrote the Help documentation on Postprocessors. There's a page on selecting a post and how to test it.
That might be useful to you.
Here are pictures of a working post.
Yes it's a machining center. And yes you can program spindle on/off as well as coolant and has a tool changer.
Thanks Mike. We used that post and basically just turned off the outcool and outrpm and we were good. Thanks for everyone's help!
HI, I'm new to this forum. I just bought a 4 axis CNC Fryer MB10R with anilam 3000 touch control. Is there a post that has the tool change available on it? I am currently just putting in the Mcode 6 after the tool number by hand. can a post processor do this, or is one out there? thanks !!

I looked at your pics, this is what I am looking for! May I ask how you got this post processor with tool change?
