Mitsubishi M80 post processor

[mike-macgregor]

Wondering if anyone can help me out with a post processor for the M80 Control. I am running it on a Pinnacle 3axis Milling machine.

Having issues when posting for Tapping cycles.

I managed to get it to work by modifying the post, but its a pain atm.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know the M80 control but this works for me on the M70 control. It uses E-- for tapping.

Thanks for the post, unfortunately it did not post out properly. gave me a bunch of errors and wouldn't even post.

It works for me in IV HSM2018. I use it all the time.

Maybe it doesn't work for me since we are using 2016 here.

Can you post using the generic Mits post in the list? How about other posts?

[mike-macgregor]

I can for the most part, the only thing so far that has given me any problems is tapping.

And I am growing tired of editing every post that has tapping in it.

I don't have 2016 loaded anymore but I used this post with it. I have attached another copy of the post I just tested and the output. You may need to get your dealer to look at it on your end.

thanks, ill try it out shortly and let you know how I make out.

This is what it posted for a 1/2-13 tap.

Wondering if you could explain to me how it determines its feed rate, I am assuming the P is for peck, and E is tpi? what does the R value stand for?

Also is the E is tpi, will it convert Metric for me, or do I need to keep an eye out for that when I post for my metric taps?

E is the TPI. The feed is synced with the spindle RPM. If you chose a metric tap it will calculate the TPI. Try it on a metric tap.

Did you get this worked out? I have a M64s control, and I edited my PP to work with G95 tapping, which is superior - especially for metric.
