Post processor needed for emco maxxturn 65 with sinumerik 840D

[coachsmithing]

I have an Emco Maxxturn 65 with a Siemens Sinumerik 840 D (PCU20) control, the machine is a four axis CNC lathe with live tooling, sub spindle, and parts catcher. I have tried using your generic Siemens post processor and Have been unable to make it work with this machine. Do you know where I would be able to find one or would you be able to help me customize a post processor to make it work with this machine? Any help would be appreciated.

Which post processor have you tried, and what were the errors you received? It's likely that any Siemens mill-turn post we have will likely require some modifications.

As Seth has mentioned, the generic Siemens Mill-turn post will need to be edited and configured properly to achieve the correct output required for this machine. If you are not comfortable making these edits, there are professionals who can edit the post to fit your needs!

I used the Siemens Mill-turn post processor that is included in Fusion 360. When I try to transfer the MPF. file to the machine control I receive an error saying "RS232C transmission error has occurred -> error log". I have been able to send a file from the machine to my computer and then back to the machine a gain with no problems so I am guessing the problem is with the post processor. If you could help me make the changes to the post processor that I need to get it working properly that would be great. Here are two files; #741 is the file that I took from the machine and #1001 is the file that I have been trying to send.

Thanks,

Noah

If you could put me in touch with someone that would be able to help me
customize a post processor, that would be great.
