Hello,

I'm looking for a Post Processor for Unigraphics NX 8 for a Centurion 5 (or 6 or 7 since the controller is pretty similar) controller. I talked to Siemens Support and they didn't have one in their library. Does anybody has a Post Processor for that machine or does anybody knows of a similar more "popular" controller which Post Processor is compatible and I could get from Siemens?

Would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!
 
The machine is a Milltronics Partner from i think '96. Its just the controller which doesn't seem very popular or maybe outdated. I know mastercam has a Post for it, so does BobCam. I figure it's not much used in big Industries.
I can try to find some Sample G Code which was preloaded on the machine (if that's what you asking for?). I'm quite new to CNC Machining, so excuse me if you're looking for something else.
 
okay, i was able to get some code that was previously used with the machine. Any ideas what Post Processor could work?

thats 100% generic code aside from the G200, which i have never seen before.

That program would run on every machine i have at work, fanuc 6, 11, omd, oi b oi c and the fadal's

look for some older fanuc posts, 6, 11, OM series etc,

I had a Centurion 6 control on a lathe, we used a generic (Edgecam) Fanuc code generator and modified it slightly to suit the machine, that's probably what you'll have to do to get it perfect for your machine.

Have you called Milltronics for info? they are very helpful, might even know where to get a post for your machine.
 
I tried using a Fanuc 3 Axis Mill Generic Post Processor and until now it works very well, though i haven't tried any complex stuff yet. Thanks a lot for your help everyone, if i come across any problems i will report back!
 
@linus

I'm not clear what you need...do you still need a generic fanuc post or not?

I just looked at my old backups and I do not have the default mill3ax and mill3ax_turbo post for 8 but have them for 7.5. I can give it to you if you need it. It should work fine but I give zero guarantees.

PM me for contact info if are interested.

You do realize this is a guy in India with a pirated copy of NX, right?

I hear you and he never reached out to me anyway.

Running a seat eight versions old? This is probably some dude that has an abandoned license before they were node locked. It's like running a copy of MC9 or Windows XP.
