    Harrison Alpha postprocessor

    Hi,
    I bought a 1998 Harrison Alpha 400 cheap. It did not come with dongel / license for alpha link software. I had a similar machine in 1999 and remember that alphalink was frustrating and using. I will use the machine privately and thought to use the Fusion360 as a cad cam solution.
    Does anyone have an overview or knowledge that makes it possible to post and transfer programs to the machine.

    Hi
    The Fusion360 does not have a post for the Alpha to my knowledge as it does not accept ISO programs unless it is an Alpha S, there is a chance if you use other software it will corrupt the software
    There is an update to the software that is alot more friendly and is more useable than the DOS version, however only available on version 13 software Alpha if you pm me I'll check for you
    As for comms best to use Serio Alpha

    Re: Harrison Alpha postprocessor

    Hello.
    I can help with a postprocessor for HARRISON ALPHA, which I developed for fusion 360. I have a HARRISON ALPHA 460T machine, manufactured in 2002. Before that, I used the AlfaWin-T software, but it is a very specific and inconvenient product to use. Therefore, I had to study Java programming and develop a new postprocessor. I have been using it for about six months now - it is very convenient, especially when processing complex surfaces.
