    GibbsCAM to Tormach PCNC 1100

    Hi everyone,

    I'm a student working on machining some parts for a project. My problem is that I can not find a template for converting my code from GibbsCAM 2007 to the Tormach PCNC 1100 milling machine that I am allowed to use. I have my stock and GibbsCAM files all ready to go, I'm only struggling to find the post codes. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Dan

    Any MACH3 post should work fine.

    Hey mcphil,

    You were exactly right. I tried the PostHASTE Fanuc 11M Generic.pM3 built in template for GibbsCAM 2007 and it worked perfectly for all of my files.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Re: GibbsCAM to Tormach PCNC 1100

    Sorry for the late reply, but I have been using GibbsCam 2012 on my PCNC 1100 USING Mach III for a little over 5 years. I use a generic Fanuc 6 post processor and edit it the way I like it.

    If you want to email me at [email protected] I'll send you a copy of a post processed file the way I edit the start up blocks.

    I'm on vacation till November 7th but I can get it to you right after I get home.
