Hey all
Just wondering if any if you guys had any luck with your post for your machines. It seems like every post my shop has something wrong with them so you have to hand edit the code your self to get to work right. It's getting downright old cause if I wanted to hand edit the code, I would of write the program my self using pencil and paper. It seems like the majority of the threads here are about the posting problems and not on how to program with Gibbs.
I contacted Gibbs about editing a post and this is the reply I got
"The Post Department has determined that this is a new 3-Axis Mill post for the customer. We’ll implement the requested post changes at no charge with a purchase of 3-Axis Mill post, which is $200."
This statement confuses me as much as reading a Fanuc Parameter manual. How can they say they will modify the post free of charge if you buy a 3-axis mill post? It's not really free if you have to buy something in my book. Is this a standard business practice? Or just a Gibbs thing.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had a post for a Fanuc OM that looks thing like this:
