Re: Tool setup every new vector

There are still small problems due to too many tool change commands. The machine does some "jerking" with each new vector. I wrote an e-mail to Vectric support asking me to implement a NEW_VECTOR section as a tool change section to perfect the postprocessor. Machines with controls of Italian design ...

Re: Tool setup every new vector

Yes, that's how I did it. The tool change command is now issued twice, but this does not affect the function.

My machine ("Felder Profit 3", made by Busselato") is like Morbidelli also made in Italy. The controls can be relational.

Re: Tool setup every new vector

Hello,

I found a pragmatic but functional solution. Simply enter the identical tool change command once at section TOOLCHANGE and once at section RAPID_MOVE. Although some tool change commands are too much in the CNC code, this does not affect the clean program flow.

Re: Tool setup every new vector

Hello, My controller has no special command for "rapid move". Vectors are separated by a "tool setup". The "tool setup" at the beginning of each vector of my machine causes: 1. Tool from last vector on safety level 2. Tool change if necessary 3. Rapid move to start position of next vector. Coordinat...

Re: Tool setup every new vector

Hello, the height above the clamping devices is just a side effect. My primary concern is a tool setup for each vector, as it is done by the original CAM software of the machine as well. The machine is quite large with 3500x1600mm and the vectors are often far apart. The tool always first moves to t...

Tool setup every new vector

Hello, I want to modify my postprocessor to work as follows: 1. Each vector should be a new tool setup. Reason: The tool always travels in rapid traverse to the next vector and moves to the next vector with the safety height of the machine to prevent collisions with clamping devices. 2. To do this, ...

Re: Post Processor Busellato

Hello Mark, now I get the description of the format of my cnc-hardware. Look at the appendix. This time I miss: - ARC milling - rapid move between toolpath's Furthermore: The memory of my hardware will be restricted. A major project must be fragmented in parts. Error result: "Too many WORKS!

Post Processor Busellato

Hallo, I have a CNC mill Busellato. In the complex you will find the one generated by the Busellato CAM software (Genesis 6.3) and the file created by VCarve Pro. Post Processor "Busellato (mm) (*.cnc)". Both files accomplish the same task. Is a better post-processor available, not all edits which c...
