DeckelMaho DMU 50v Millplus V400 post

[markp]

Ive got a DeckelMaho DMU 50v Millplus V400. The control has an implementation of G7 tilted planes but no TCPM tool center point management. Ive been experimenting with this post for a V330 Millplus. (DeckelMaho DMU50v Millplus v330.cps). Are there any other Millplus posts that would be better (safer).

Forgot to mention, the 330 version post does not output G7 as that version of the control did not have G7 output. Im looking for a post that will output G7 tilted planes but not other implementations of tool center point management.

Have you tried with that one:

Yes, I did some test outputs using that post. It looks like it might work ok. I was looking for a post that does G7 calls but not the tool control calls in later versions of the millplus control V410> like G141, (Dynamic TCPM), G8 (Swivel tool direction), G28 (Programmable contour precision), G174 (interpolated tool withdrawal movement)

That post DeckelMaho (DMU50v Millplus v330.cps) seems to handle 3 axis stuff ok but gives numerous  errors if used for 5 axis tool paths. Kind of why Im trying out hsmworks as my gibbs 5 ax post is terrible. Unfortunately, this one doesnt seem much better. Is it even an actual 5 ax post?

Ok tried the generic milllplus and it is for the next version of the control after V420. My V400 control does not have G141 or I1 and J1 type of commands. Also retract is G74 Z0 L1 and my control requires G74  Z-1.0 L1 for retract. Anyone ever create a millplus post that can handle 5 axis tool paths but does not output the commands listed above for the newer millplus controls?

The V330 post I fooled around with will not handle 5 axis toolpaths. Has anyone made corrections to the V330 post that allow it to output 5 axis toolpaths?

Ok the second post that bob.shutz posted up on the thread above seems to work for swarf and 5 axis contour. No G7 calls but what the heck. Better than the hacked up post I had for gibbs.  Now I just have to learn the program...

Regarding "onRewindMachine" error you should check this topic:

Hi , do you have a sample program for 5-axis with TCPM ? I have millplus v330 . 

thanks

[markp]

I gave up on HSM works and just had my post guy rewrite the Gibbs cam five axis post which works very well.

5X output could look like this :

LN X+5.927 Y+0.89 Z+0.661 TX+0.1594617 TY+0.0209643 TZ+0.9869815 F1000

or

L X+6.457 Y+1.215 Z-0.056 B+10.188 C+9.451

I can send whole code, but if you have TNC 530 or 640 I am pretty sure you can use default Heidenhain. Maybe you will need some small tweaks in the post, but nothing serious.

[markp]

Im pretty sure no one has ever written a post processor for HSM works that will work on the older mill plus controllers. <V4.0. I keep checking here but have never seen any successful references. There is a version of the millplus post that will work ok for 3+2 but lots of dangerous glitches that require careful editing or else BAM!!.

@markp 

I offer post processor development services and happy to work out a solution for your machine! Message me if I can be of further assistance.

[markp]

Thanks but I had a 3yr subscription that is lapsed, happy with my Gibbs post

[AdamKunzo]

Can you share a sample NC file from gibbs?
