    Fagor 8055 Manual Tool Change PP for Fusion 360

    Hello all,

    I have been struggling with this for a while now. Does anyone out there have a Post Processor for Fusion 360 that will work with the 8055 without an ATC? The PP that came with Fusion is for a machine with a tool changer for which I don't have so the post is looking for the changer "M6". I have tried to modify the post, but was not able to.

    I tried the manual post that I fond on the Autodesk sight and although it will run the program in its entirety, it has no ability to move to a tool change position, nor let me move and change to a subsequent tool. What I mean by that is I can start the program, it will cut with the first tool, dwell and if I simply push cycle start it will continue without a tool change. I am new at this so it is possible I am doing something wrong, but I really don't think so. Autodesk support was trying to help, but ultimately said it was likely a Fagor thing. Hoping someone can help since I can't use the machine if I want to use Fusion for the CAD CAM.

    Thanks,

    Steve
