Felder Post Processor

Post by kthaxter »

Hi there, I'm using V-Carve pro to program for a Felder Profit H08 machine with a Format 4 controller. The Format 4 post processor already in V-Carve doesn't quite work and I'm having a lot of trouble getting things going. Is there anyone here that's had this issue and has a workable solution or does anyone know anyone who may be able to edit the processor for me? Let me know, thanks.

A post processor editing guide is included with the software under HelpPost Processor Editing Guide

The editing itself can be done with any text editor. It sounds far more complicated than it really is.

Make a safe copy of the current post processor so you can always recover.
Make your updates to the post processor file
(Re)Start VCarve and save a toolpath using the updated post processor
Look at the generated toolpath file to examine the results

Hi,
I have Format 4
it is 5X10 Table with 11 Tool changer, and 9 tools at the drill block
please see attached picture for reference and the PP, it is working fine.
but as you know the vcarve PP does not recognize the Drill block.

I hope it works for your machine.
