    Exclamation GibbsCam MTM post

    What are the MTM post definitions????

    For example:

    Fanuc 6M [VG] NYIRM299.19.pst

    N – This designates a mill post that does not use subprograms. This is known as a "Long Hand post". Subprograms are frequently used for multi-process drilling, Z-repeat milling, patterns, thread milling, rough & finish mill bore, multiple parts, etcetera. Any mill post can be modified into a Long Hand post.
    Y - This designation is for a 4-axis Mill/Turn machine that has a linear Y-axis.
    I - This designates a Mill/Turn post that supports Polar and Cylindrical Interpolation. A Polar and Cylindrical Interpolation Mill/Turn post will output a G2 or G3 with rotary moves.
    R – This designates a 4th axis Rotary Mill post. A Rotary Mill post will output an A-axis move in the G-code. Cutting of wrapped arcs will be broken into linear segments. No Work Fixture Offsets will be used in the rotation of the part.
    M – This designates a regular 2- or 3-axis mill post. A 3-axis mill post has 3 linear axes (X, Y, and Z) that can position and cut simultaneously.



    Or Does any one have one will trade a post for a post.



    Thanks!!!
