NX CAM û Siemens Sinumerik Post Builder

NX CAM û Siemens Sinumerik Post Builder

(OP)
Does anyone use the NX CAM – Siemens Sinumerik Post Builder?

All our CNC machines have Siemens 840D controller on them. This would be a great application to use in conjunction with our machine shop.

Have you checked the Post library on GTAC.

You can create a Sinumerick 840D postprocessador,

Go to postbuilder, library and there you can choose the Sinumeric 840D.

GTAC, has postprocessadors too.

But the Sinumeric 840D is define on postbuilder library

Sorry the photo is in Spanish.

See you.

Depending on what version you using, there are options for Sinumerik on the controls pull down when you create a post. There are also some Sinumerik samples in the postprocessor folder.

Thank you one and all.

Using UG NX 5.0.6.3 and UG/Post Builder 5.0.3

In the UG/Post Builder 5.0.3 library, I found a siemens post, though it is not specific to a Sinumeric 840D.

Have created a basic 3 axis mill post in mm and have got some output G code, which looks OK for starters.

Will need to fine tune, for CNC Operator information headers at beginning of code.

RE: NX CAM û Siemens Sinumerik Post Builder

If you get to at least 7.0, there are Sinumerik 840D examples in the postprocessor folder. I'm not sure if they are backward compatable to NX5. In 7.5, the Sinumerik specific enhancements continued.

We now have UDEs for HSM mode, special Sinumerik cycles, and when you run Post Builder, you can make it feel like Sinumerik instead of Fanuc.
