Research on Development of HEIDENHAIN Thread Milling Cycle Post Processing based on MasterCAM
In response to the problems of a lack of human-machine dialogue interface for corresponding parameter input and inconsistency between some cutting parameter settings and FANUC and other systems in the development of the HEI-DENHAIN CNC system thread milling CNC machining program by using MasterCAM X9 software,the basic principle and secondary development technology of the post processing of MasterCAM software were studied,and the fixed cycle of post processing of the HEIDENHAIN CNC system thread milling was developed.A human-machine dialogue interface for thread milling fixed cycle was established,it achieved parameterization of programming thread milling fixed cycle in MasterCAM software.It provided a train of thought and technical approach for customizing the post processing of HEIDENHAIN sys-tem in MasterCAM software.
