What is a Post Processor?
A Post Processor, also called PP, is a computer program that converts the results of a Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) program into a format of an electronic process (here called Computerized Numerical Control, CNC) for controlling machine tools.

Why do I need a customized Post Processor?
As machine tools continue to improve in performance, precise control of the machine becomes essential. This involves integrating special control parameters, cycles, logics, data linking, or dynamic measurement options to fully harness the potential of the machine tools. Due to the complexity involved, a customized Post Processor for the specific machine and manufacturing process is necessary. To further ensure process reliability, the NC programming is checked using a realistic machine simulation.
What characterises a JANUS post processor?
- Flexibility: Customized adaptation to specific process requirements and machine technologies.
- Quality: Standardization of NC programming and a tailored JANUS post processor can minimize errors and improve the quality of workpieces.
- Efficiency: Optimizes NC code to improve tool lifespan and reduce machining times for enhanced productivity.
- Process reliability: Avoid errors and collisions through realistic machine simulations, minimizing downtime and maintenance expenses.
What technical capabilities do JANUS Post Processor and Machine Simulation offer?
- NC code optimization for precise control of the machine and control system.
- Capability to process machining parameters and data from external systems, such as job preparation, order data form the ERP system, or external technology data.
- Option to integrate special control parameters, cycles, logics, data linking, etc.
- Possibility to integrate on-machine probing technology
- Ability to output additional manufacturing information, such as tool lists, operation/processing lists, MES control data, time-relevant data, and ERP feedback information.
- Simulation of the NC code, considering tool fixture information, zero point adjustments and definitions for accurate and true-to-life simulation.
When to order an NX Post Processor?
Developing an NX postprocessor can be time-consuming due to the complexity of CNC programming and the variety of machines and controllers available. It's important to order the Post Processor early to ensure availability before your new CNC machine is commissioned.
So if you are buying a new CNC machine, you should order the Post Processor as soon as you know the technical data and specifications of the machine.
In some cases, customers contact us even before purchasing a machine. Based on our cooperation with various machine manufacturers, we can support you and share our experience.
