hello to all cnc friends .
my name is cetin and im from germany.
i have buy me a cnc controlled milling machine optimum bf20 l vario
with cnc control NCdrive
also i have a 4.axis
vcarve pro 6 is the software which i use.
i already can engrave on flat items and my dream is to enrave on rotary axis on aluminium tubes.
can someone teach or help me in this ?
i can make already the right toolpath and the only thing which i need to have the right PP for wrapped gcode on Yto A axis i think.
im a newbie and also my english is not the best.
i would very thankfull to all .
best greetings to all
cetin

Re: Gcode wrapping 4.axis
Your best option may be to contact Vectric to find out if they have, or know someone who has, developed a post-processor to output code for the 4th axis of your machine.

Re: Gcode wrapping 4.axis
hmm,is this g-code a exotic programmcode which is not usual used?
or maybe here is someone who can change PP and help me to do this.
im sure here is someone who can this

hi korun
wilkommenn on the best forum... if you searching trough the forum you will find many post about wrapping manually... before vectric implemented this feature a few post made about wrapping..
you can make it trough on editing your postprocessor... (as i know vcarve has some postprocessor for)
i made a post where i tried to explain the wrapping... i made samples with cut2d and free machinist too...
please click on this link... this take syou to the post.

if you have a working postprocessor, you are able to edit it.. and get out put for your machine.. we cant help you to edit your output, because a mistake can ending up in broken equipment.. but after you understand the basics, you can make it safely..

Re: Gcode wrapping 4.axis
also the postprozessor "(g-code (mm).tab) works very good at my machine for flat engraving.all its ok at them also when i do the zero point for z axis .
so this should be the code for edit im right?
imy problem is how to edit the code for rotary axis.
i have understand that always for each different diameter of a pipe which i engrave i must calculate outside of diameter again.
like when its 40 mm this must be calculatet on the 360° rotary on A
im a little right victor?
i know its sure simple,but only after i know how it works
