Turn-mill & multi-tasking

Turn-Mill & Multi-Tasking Post Processors

Make the most of a complex CNC machine without relying on manual NC edits.

Independent UK post-processor engineering backed by more than 25 years of Autodesk and Delcam CAM experience.

What we can help with

A turn-mill post must understand how the machine actually works: its spindles, turrets, milling head, rotary axes and control conventions. We develop and review machine-specific posts, with clear test cases and practical commissioning support.

B-axis milling heads

Tool orientation, rotary positioning and the machine's supported milling arrangements.

Main and sub-spindles

Spindle selection, transfers and the NC sequences required by the control.

Multi-turret and multi-channel

Channel-specific output, synchronisation points and safe sequencing where required.

Typical challenges

Examples of the issues we can investigate. The right solution depends on the exact machine, control and CAM workflow.

Milling code that needs editing

Review plane selection, C/Y-axis output, tool orientation and machine-specific cycles.

Spindle transfers that are difficult to prove

Agree sample transfer sequences and compare posted output with known-good machine programs.

Unexpected positioning or retracts

Investigate coordinate systems, tool changes, rotary motion and safe transitions.

Technical capabilities

B-axis head positioning and rotary-axis conventions
C/Y-axis milling and live tooling
Main/sub-spindle operations and transfer sequences
Channel synchronisation and machine-specific NC format
Existing post reviews and controlled on-machine testing

From review to commissioning

We start with the machine specification, controller details, CAM release and sample NC programs. We then agree the required output, develop or adjust the post and test representative cases before any planned machine prove-out.

Support is available for Autodesk Fusion, FeatureCAM, PartMaker and PowerMill where applicable to the requested work.

Turn-mill simulation availability depends on the CAM system, release and machine configuration. Preview-only Fusion functionality is not described as generally available.

Let's discuss your machine

Tell us the machine make/model, controller, CAM system and the issue or functionality you need. We can agree a sensible next step.
