Solved: Unable to post drilling operations (fanuc turning)

M-Russmann · ‎12-16-2016

Hey everyone,

I can not figure out why the fanuc turning post processor will not let me post drilling operations. Using the Haas or Siemens post works fine.

This is the log file I am getting

Any idea with that?

There was a problem a while ago where the Fanuc lathe post output a G17 for all drill ops, 2 axis lathes would just error and not accept a G17 in the code. Looking at the updated post it looks like the G17 line has just been commented out, the problem is this leaves the current plane as undefined so the post fails.

Are you using a 2 axis lathe or mill turn.

I modified a post for someone else and changed the G17 to G18 and that seem to work, see here.
