I have worked for a machine shop for the better part of a decade, running every job from the presses, the turrets, to the lasers, and now I'm in charge of production and quality. I only mention this to prove that i have some mechanical knowledge, but I am in no way a proper machinist or cad/cam programmer. We purchased a Bridgeport mill with an Anilam 1100 series controller on it and i have taught myself through online videos how to run bobcad and predator editor to make programs for the mill. Once i got a firm grasp of the bobcad software, i then tried to get a firm grasp on the anilam controller. I read the manual for it but still could not get programs to transfer over. I called Jerry at highland DNC and got a flash memory upgrade but still couldn't get it to work. Jerry luckily had notes from a 3000 series anilam controller that said in addition to what my manual said, i also had to press the number one to initiate the sending of the file... I would never have figured that out since it wasn't in the manual. So now i have a program saved in the memory of the anilam controller, but when i go to load it to run it, it says , ERROR; Illegal Address. BoBcad gave me a post processor for a 1400 series anilam controller because they didn't have one for an 1100 series but figured it was pretty close. I am guessing the problem is that my post processor isn't creating proper gcode for the anialm 1100 controller. BOBcad suuport says to make a custom post processor, they need a copy of a working program off my machine, the problem is, it didn't come with any loaded programs, and i don't know how to write code... I'm sorry this is so long, just trying to give all the information. Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone has a program for a Bridgeport from an 1100 series anilam that i could use, id really appreciate it. This has been a pain in my side for well over a year, slowly figuring out bit by bit when time allowed, now i'm finally very close, but completely stumped.
