HSM PRO CAM - Post Processing TURN 270 PRO
Hoping to find a post that will let me use AUtodesk Inventor/HSMPro to my new TURN 270 Pro with tool change.
Any thoughts on a compatible machine? I can output to FANUC, HAAs, Heidenhain, proLIGHT, ProtoTRAK, Tormach, Siemens, OKUMA, FAGOR, GSK.
Also can adjust the configuration on any of these...
Thanks.

Hi Jeff
Try using the Fanuc output. It's just standard G & M codes.

Posted with FANUC (and HAAS) and have been fighting through some errors.
Is there a list of G-Codes that are good to use? I'm thinking that the post uses some G commands that are not supported.
Here are the first few lines as an example.
(FANUC POST)
O1001
G98 G18
G21
G50 S6000
G28 U0.
(GROOVE2)
T0707
G54
G99
G50 S3000
G96 S200 M3
G0 X39.05 Z5.
G0 Z-9.158
X23.05
G1 X19.05 F1.
X17.319
X23.05
G0 Z-10.152
G1 X19.05 F1.
X17.164
X19.035
X19.05
X22.521
G0 X23.05
Z-11.145
G1 X19.05 F1.
X18.397
X19.05
X23.05
I am in process of creating a part with the Denford software & post and same part with HSM post to see how the G-code matches up.
Thanks,
Jeff

Re: HSM PRO CAM - Post Processing TURN 270 PRO
Thanks Martin - very helpful.
I'm comparing g-code outputs now from HSM vs. VRTurn for part reproduced in both.

Re: HSM PRO CAM - Post Processing TURN 270 PRO
Final follow-up -
Was able to get FANUC g-code working with a couple of minor modifications - codes G18 and G54 are generated but appear unnecessary; and the output code does not include a tool change command in front of the tool number string.
Thanks again for the list of used codes - it proved very useful to get this figured out.

Re: HSM PRO CAM - Post Processing TURN 270 PRO
Hi Jeff,
Hopefully you're still on the forum... would it be possible to get a copy of your Post?
I had one working but lost it during a fusion 360 update. I really don't want to have to start from scratch again as I had lots of fun getting threading working properly.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi I would be really interested in this too.
