Laguna IQ-Pro

Post by Flankmanoman »

Does anyone know about this: I have a Laguna IQ Pro with a B&R control unit. It was advertised as: "Will work with any CAM package". I use Solidworks 12 and Mastercam X6. You guessed it, it doesn't! I had to purchase Aspire software. They have a post for the Laguna. I love the Aspire software, but the CAM toolpaths for 3D are not always correct. Does anyone know of anyone who has done a PP that will work from MasterCam to the B&R controller? :?

Well Solidworks is not CAM unless you have the SolidCAM module.

I don't know what the laguna language looks like but if it is g-code it should be pretty generic - and the fanuc post from master can may be a workable post. Not sure if Master cam posts are configurable.

What did you find on the Aspire not working correctly?

Have you posted this on the MasterCam or CNCZone forums ?

Weird : when I use google with 'mastercam forum' search, most links get highjacked to a 'Buy internet meds from Canada' site
