I see that is possible to make a custom machine post processor. Do you know, or do you have it?

For what it is worth, you can do the same thing on a plain old mill. I have an old Emco FB2 I literally dug out of the trash (not as easy easy it sounds when you say it out loud). It is rim-cut and rusted, but it does any job I ask it to. The head rotates 90 degrees so you can put a tail stock on it. But most of the time I just chuck up whatever I am cutting and whittle away with the cutter in my vice. I tilt the head for tapers and use the column wheel to run it up and down. This is REAL hobby stuff, you understand, in that I don't pull out the calipers unless my part happens to not fit in the hole I cut it for. Then I make another part, and actually measure stuff. Hehe!

I'm new to cnc.And that's exctly what I was looking for.I've tried it but changing "x scale "paramiter has no efect on generated gcoge.Is it somthing else that I shoud do?Or maby I coud get modified post proceror from you?I converted my mill to Centroid Acorn so whatever works for you shoud work for me.

You changed the x scale in the post processor? What is the specific issue you are having? If it does not post at all the processor will generate an error log file.

@@paweljasinski8612 I used the Fanuc Lathe post processor as a base for posting turning operations to Centroid. What post processor are you trying to use? In the fanuc post i went to this: var xFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 3 : 4), forceDecimal:true, scale:2}); // diameter mode I changed scale from 2 to 1 for this var xFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 3 : 4), forceDecimal:true, scale:1}); // radius mode

Really cool video. Would love to see an extended run through of your cam work and how you set up work offsets for this job. Well done.

This video helped me a lot to wrap my head around the process. Using any Autodesk CAM you can simply write the WCS # into the comment box of your tools and let your post fetch it with tool.getComment () whenever a tool change occurs. Be careful to provide unique IDs to your tools though, I almost crashed our brand new Haas VM-6 because I missed this. Keep up the good work!

As captioned at 0:08, this is an in depth instructional video so skip to 28:30 for the machining :) A job shop machinist routine is the same, tons of setup for a short time cutting. A trade for the patient.

when generating gcodes with a cam turning it generates x as a diameter but by turning in a milling its must be a half of diameter how to change that can u help me sorry about my english

Sure, this is a setting in the CAM post processor. I use Fusion 360 but not sure how it is with others\ CAM sodtware. You need to edit the post processor and find the setting related to scaling of the X axis. My post for Fusion has a line that reads: var xFormat = createFormat({decimals:(unit == MM ? 3 : 4), forceDecimal:true, scale:1}); // radius mode I edited this from a Fanuc post, originally had 'scale:2' Hope this helps, good luck!
@22BOZIDAR7 жыл бұрын
thank you posting the video. What post processor are you using? I have been trying to do this. In the code fusion 360 creates, the x axis motion is always double of what it should be. not sure why that is. The simulation in 360 is correct though.
@dragonwrathinnovations77807 жыл бұрын
Very good question, wasn't sure if I had mentioned in videos. In 360 select the post processor you want to use and click open config. control - F to 'find' and look for 'xformat'. There will be a scale: value, it is likely set to 2 in your case. Set it to 1 and you should be good to go! Thanks for watching :)

So you use the lathe cam in fusion? create your operations. post them and then edit the posts to removed lathe commands and enter mill commands? With the screen was a bit clearer. It would have made following along a lot easier. Impressive stuff and something i hope to try!
@dragonwrathinnovations77807 жыл бұрын
You got it, just post like it's a lathe. The g-code editing is mostly to make sure no tool changes are attempted and to make sure the circular interpolation is running on the x/z plane instead of x/y. You also want to add Y0. at the beginning of the job and after any WCS changes. The video capture I was using only grabbed the Fusion canvas so couldn't see me going through the settings. If you get to trying it I'd be happy to help with any questions. Most important: if you try it run the job with Z0. way up until you have a handle on how it will behave.
