Im picking up a 96 Makino Seiki CNJ2-30 6 axis Tool/cutter grinder next week. Its got a fanuc 16m control. This model does not have the pre loaded tool forms so more of a general purpose cnc grinder. I would like to grind tool forms eventually but really just want to get used to running the machine for now. I have a DMU50V so I do have 5ax experience.
I have a subscription to HSM pro and I have Gibbs 2012 out of maintenance with the dongle. Didnt see any tool cutter grinder posts in the HSM library. Id have to make a 6 ax MMD to use it in gibbs and based on what it cost to get a working 5 ax post made for the DMU, probably way more that the cost of the machine.
Is there any realistic way to use something like this without a specialized post processor and tool grinding software?
