Hello Billytucker,The guys at UG told me they had a post for Heidenhain conversational control ours is the iso version and they had not written one before.I received their last efforts back in November.We now have a uasable post with just a few minor tweaks needed.
pdwispe,
I might be able to help you out.I have a mand standing parasolid.?

Yuri,
Thanks for the reply,I have been able to write all our Nx posts for all our other controls,but this one is a bit different.The G141 3d tool is alot more than just a 3d cutcomp.The cool thing about this machine is unlike the old controls where you had to know where your part is from center...
Hi Jaydenn,
Very basic post... sorta. Ug has worked on last week several days, They tell me they are close so i'm hoping this nightmare will end.
G141= 3d cutcomp=yes.this is G141 on our control x,y,z tool contact points B&C are tool axis vectors or I J & K's can be used instead of B&C's
I'm impressed that your Mastercam guy got that one right
Yeah Bill us UG programmers laughed when they purchased it but now we check the UG output against the mastercam to try and get it right.We all are eating crow including the UG tech that was here two days working on the post.
Yes it is...
j,
Yes trying to get a reliable post built for dmg 5axis machine (knutating head) for Heidenhain IT
V530 mill plus control ISO code. Going from transformed planes(G7) to G141 mode is where they cant seem to get it right.If you are familar with the control (i am not) the G141 mode is where the...
"What use is a CAM system without posts?" Exactly!!,its hard to sell virtual parts to our customers.Siemens has the resources they just need to cozie up to machine builders (atleast the major players)and get it right.I stood up for UG to write our post because i thought they would do it best...
Hey Mark,
I'm been a Ug programmer for past 18yrs .I can tell you here in a real shop that the guys using mastercam are getting their programs out to the machines faster and with less keystrokes than us guys using UG.That sure doesnt sit well with management especially with all the maintenance...
Chuck,
Your company sounds like ours, Small in UG's eyes.Our support hasnt been the greatest.I started using UGII version 6 ,other guys here started at UgII 4 (AROUND 1988)
we are now running NX6 & NX7, so we have seen alot of changes.Some Good, some not so good
UG modeling and assemblies works...
Thanks rg006 & xfv8, I'm going to check out Janus.
now i assume you guys have output a cls file then post that with your Janus post?
I received another version from seimens last night. Looks like at least this one wouldnt crash the machine tool. Still got to edit the heck out of it to keep...
"Don't use ICAM. They are horrible!!!"
Really? that is who the machine builder recomended,That's also why i was asking you guys.Thanks for the input John
Hey Ben ,Siemens has attempted to correct it but so much time passes between them getting back to us with their latest attempts. We only have about 8 UG seats so we are small potatoes to them.We been using UG since 1988 but have always been treated like the red headed step child.
Hank Holt...
Thanks Jaydenn for the input .I've had fairly good luck using the post builder for other machines and controls but not so much luck on this Heidenhain Control.This is the first one we ever purchased from Ug .We've had a few different people at Ug work on it and so far its been just an...
We have purchased our first post from Siemens\UG for a 5 axis DMG. Over a year latter and it's usable only with some serious editing.At the same time we purchased a post for the same machine for Mastercam and it works flawlessly.Has anyone ever used a third party to write a post such as ICAM ?
