post processor for 4 Axis sherline 2010 CNC
post processor for 4 Axis sherline 2010 CNC
(OP)
hello all,
Its my first time doing a CNC project and I'm confused about how to make a post processor. I modelled the Sherline 2010 CNC and using the machine tool builder I set the axis's. But what do I do next? How do I add the machine to the NX library? I followed the Siemens Tech Tips and tried to make a post processor but when I try to add my machine and simulate the toolpaths it doesnt show the machine. What parameters do I have to change when making the post processor after I set the rotary axis?
The project is to mill the following parts.
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks! :)

For testing, browse to the .pui file of your postprocessor
For continued use, go to Menu > Tools > Install NC Postprocessor. This will copy the files in to the correct folder, and add the postprocessor to the list in the dialog.
I would also recommend going through the tutorial found at Menu > Help > Manufacturing Tutorials > Output.
