Biesse Rover Hood / Dust Vaccuum Up

Post by AtlasRob »

need help to modify Biesse Rover post processor so that the hood / vaccuum is raised up. we are running some laminate inlays that have very small parts and they are being sucked up into the dust collector. If we had the vaccuum dust shield up then they would not get lost.

does anyone have information on modifying or adding to the the post to do this

any help would be greatly appreciated

Do you know what the command is to raise the hood? If so you would need to add that command to the HEADER section of the post processor. If you want to lower it again you would add the lower command to the FOOTER section. You could have one post processor with those commands in and one without so you can generate toolpaths for different materials.

There's a post processor editing guide on the Help menu in Cut2D/VCarve/Aspire.

You may also need to raise and lower it around your tool changes. I'm not sure, as I'm not familiar with your machine. Our Morbidelli automatically lifts the hood during a tool change.

we know what the command is to raise the hood ( PCUF=1 ) but not sure out how to implement this into the post

Biesse states that the hood position needs to be in the same area as the rpm speed ( PVC=18000 )

is this a command we can insert into line N10?

Unless there's someone here who has done it you're going to have to experiment with positioning depending on whether you need it for toolchanges as well as stated above.

Do you have a working file with the hood command in it?

the only working file we have with a hood up command is from the Biesse Works software

when we compare two files, one generated in Biesse Works and one generated in Aspire - we cannot tell where the information needs to go

we will have to experiment it looks like
