Looking for Post to work with Alpha 330 plus Lathe

Hello,

 

We have a 1999 Harrsion Alpha 330 plus Lathe with a GE Fanuc controller on it. Im looking for a post to work with fusion 360. Right now we are using "AlphaWin-Plus V1.54" for cad. and "AlphaUtilities V3.0" to post. This would be very very beneficial for my shop to get this lathe up to date. 

 

Thanks for any help

Do you have any sample programs you can share that would give us some idea of format? Obviously, the first choice that comes to mind is the Fanuc post, but seeing some actual code would be a good start!

If it's small. Anything more than 15-20 lines is going to possibly flag your message as spam and get it booted.

Rather, click the three little horizontal dots and use this option:

Uh....I'm not sure what post to go with now....What function do those variables fill? Does it require them, or is this just unique to a specific part?

Hello @Anonymous 

 

i suspect that this is some kind of conversational language over the regular Fanuc controler.

Do you know if the machine can be driven by vanilla fanuc code?

Because without any documentation this provided code can't be generated, we don't know the use of the #5xx variables, and the role of all these M-codes functions.

 

Cheers.
