OK you seasoned users,
I am a new user of XP production and am trying to configure my post processor. None of the supplied posts work for our machines. We use Heidenhiem mill plus and a Seimens 432. I've tried the supplied post processors and had no luck.
I have created our own but in drilling cycles the peck depths come out in absolute. What I want is a canned cycle
ie G83 Y2 Z-27 B20 I3 K10 F.. S...
where Y Retract plane
Z final depth
B initial plane
K peck depth
