Postprocessor for Centroid Lathe?

Is there a postprocessor for a Centroid Lathe for Fusion 360, or could someone recommend one to use that's close?

(The lathe is a Hardinge CHNC with a Centroid control system.)

Thanks.

I've read on Centroid's website that the Fanuc G-code is close, so I guess I'll start there and modify the post.  I've gotten no replies to my original post.  Any comments?

I'm not aware of one, but you can contact your local reseller and ask them if they know of one.

I too have Centroid lathe on a Hardinge CHNC4. I used the FANUC as a base and modified it to work with the Hardinge. I have just a little time with it but if fixed most of my issues. You have to avoid using some surface speed options that are not supported on the Centroid but try this one. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Here is one I modified and it "appears" to be working. I threw everything I had at it and it posted correctly in Fusion 360.

I have not tested on my lathe yet.

Change the .txt to .cps

Can't do drilling. Have to go to centroid controller and use the conversational cam to program drilling operations. Other than that the post works great! I use it everyday.

Which processor are you using? The one I posted? If so can you send me the gcode that wouldn't drill?
