Hi,

i need the PP for VHF Camfacture Mill. The Type of Controller is "CNC 980".
Its an old HPGL Format.
Can someone help me please ?

Thanks !
Thomas

Give this post a try. Be careful when running the generated code. My German isn't very good so I had to rely on Google translate. I think the post is correct but I can't guarantee it.
To install this post, save the attachment to any convenient folder on your computer then run SheetCam and go to Options->machine->post processor. Click on the 'Import post' button. Using the box that appears, navigate to your post and open it.

Hi Les, thank you very much for the quick help. it's not a problem. my english only comes from google translator. I am a child of the GDR and we learned Russian language .
I have attached the English version of the VHF PP description and examples of the generated code. I can't find the "PU" command in the examples. Only "PA". Would you like to check the PP again?
That would be very nice ! There are many users of VHF milling machines who would like to use a different CAM program than the supplied Cenon. Cenon is not bad but features are limited.

I can give the following information about my CNC milling machine (Premium series with Tool changer, 4 tools):

OS1: "Chuck"
OS2: "MMS/Blocking Air/Vacuum cleaner"
OS3: "Cover TC"
OS4: "TC"

Important: The Y coordinates are negative from the workpiece zero point! for example PA20000,-140000,6400;

Thank you for your help !
Sincerely yours
Thomas

Are you sure you have the correct post selected? This post should not output 'PU'.
OS2 is controlled by 'flood coolant' in SheetCam. OS1 is 'mist coolant'. I don't do anything with OS3 and OS4 yet.

Sorry, I meant "PD", not "PU"!

OS3 and OS are not important. I can switch these outputs manually.

Oops. I have attached a fixed version.
