I sent you a generic Anilam ISO post also you can try.

Any chance you guys are or  will be working on a Mazak Mazatrol conversatinal format post?

[fonsecr]

No not really. This format is binary and undocumented.

I have a hybridized version of this generic Anilam post script (.CPS) that I've altered to run on our Anilam 3000MK.  It still needs a little cleanup, but is working well for us.  If anyone has interest in it, let me know...

[Anonymous]

Jason, I would like to try your .CPS file. Can you post it please?

I've attached the current file I'm using.  It's still a little rough, and not everything has been tested, but it works for us.  We are running it on a 3 axis Chevalier vertical mill.  The file heading lists the changes. Let me know if you find any issues with it.

We have an Anilam 5300MK contoler on our machine, and the Generic Anilam Post has several Syntax errors.
I will try this 3000MK post and see how it goes. Has anyone modified a post for the 5300MK?

[Anonymous]

May I get a copy of the post, please?

This is an old post, but you replied directly to someone with a 6000i machine.

We have the same machine, can you point me to the correct post processor for it, you forwarded it to him in your reply I believe.

Thanks

Hi, I am also interested in the 6000i post, have you had any luck finding one?

[Anonymous]

No, no reply, but the thread is 5 years old.

[Anonymous]

Thanks for the reply, I though you might have gotten a email.  Have you tried editing any other posts yourself, I have seen other threads with 6000M and 5000M posts

We haven't gotten that far. We are still learning the software and working with Fab to get the appropriate settings into the machine to make some sample code to try.
We are going to attempt the generic Anilam ISO first and see how it works. Have you attempted any parts on the machine through HSM?

We have been using fusion for a couple months now, mostly CAD but it has CAM capabilities that we want to use as well. I just started looking into posts today but I have seen the generic anilam ISO so I think it'll be a good starting point. Also as I mentioned, there are a few 6000m posts going around so I'll take a look at those as well. Will make updates once we have it running
