Some post processor for Mach3

Post by robotmar »

Hi all

For a customer of my that it has acquired Aspire, I have developed (and modified existing one) some post that want to lead to disposition also to the community.

The first:
Mach3 WrapX2A MTC(*.cnc)
Wraps X values around the Y axis, values are output as A with manual tools change (MTC).

The second:
Mach3 WrapY2A MTC(*.cnc)
Wraps Y values around the X axis, Y values are output as A with manual tools change (MTC).

The third:
Mach3 Arcs MTC(*.cnc)
Mach3 - Vectric post processor Arcs move with manual tools change (MTC).

All are in mm, have been developed for Mach3 and have manual tools change (MTC) feature.

TOOLCHANGE explanation:

"( Manual change Tool )"
-> description of function
"M05"
-> stop the spindle
"G00[ZH][XH][YH]"
-> go to safe z x y
"M00"
-> alt program and wait to press CYCLE START
"( Insert [TOOLNAME] and set new zero )"
-> announces to change the tool (with toolname)
"( press CYCLE START )"
-> when it has ended the tool change does one need to press CYCLE START to continue

=> this two lines of code are necessary since they allow to position and reset the new tool to zero without the program advances on new line.
"G00[ZH]"
-> go to safe z

On zip file enclosure (glass.zip) there are some file:
Mach3_Y2A_MTC.pp -> the post processor
Stemma.cnc -> the gcode wrapped
Stemma.crv3d -> the proget
Stemma.dxf -> the drawing
Stemma.jpg -> the picture of Aspire view
StemmaY.cnc -> the gcode not wrapped (to test)

If you want to see the video of "stemma" on glass:
