G Code errors on a wrapped job

Post by Sk8nmike »

I'm getting the following errors in my G code when I create a rounding tool path.

G01 Y10.0000 A-79.207 X-1.7815
G01 Y0.0000 A-79.207 X-1.7815
G01 Y-1.#IND A-1.#IO X-1.7815
G01 Y-1.#IND A-1.#IO X-1.7500

F30.0

I've recreated the file several times and restarted Aspire and the same code comes up at the same place, line 1691 and 1692. I'm using Aspire 4.0. Any clues?

Are you using the correct Post Processor for a wrapped job?

Could you post you aspire file
Are you using Mach3

I don't use Mach3 but I can read G-Code, I see the following you are moving YA and X (which can) normally X or Y is on the rotating axis depending on your machine, my machine converts X values to A

- You have a feed move (G01) to Y10.0000, A is rotating to minus -79.207 and X is moving to -1.7815
- The next line is also a feed move (G01) to G01 Y0.0000 A is not rotating and X remains the same, it looks like you are going in a straight line from Y10 to Y0 no A rotation or X movement ...... what is Z doing??

If I was going to write a file to do a rounding toolpath it would look like this:

G90
S16000 [SPINDLE SPEED 16000]
M3 [TURN ON SPINDLE]
G4D4 [PAUSE 4 SECONDS]
F300 Y [FEEDRATE OF 300 IPM]
F30 Z [FEEDRATE OF 30 IPM FOR Z]
G53 Z0 [RAISE Z ALL THE WAY UP]
G0 [RAPID MOVE]

[***** ROUNDING BETWEEN Y0 AND Y10 *****]

A0 Y0 [ROTATE “A” TO ZERO AT Y0]
G1 [FEED MOVE]
Z2 [LOWER Z TO 2 …………. WHICH = 4" DIAMETER]
Y10 A7000 [THE BIT WILL TRAVEL TO Y10 WHILE ROTATING 7000 DEGREES]
G0 [RAPID MOVE]
G53 Z0 [RAISE THE SPINDLE ALL THE WAY UP]
M5 [SPINDLE OFF]

Here is a project using the file above except rounding between Y30 to Y66

I don't think it an Aspire issue.
It may be that your post processor is corrupted.
Do you have another version to choose from?

Another issue may be that your design has a flaw in it.
A one pixel hole or another anomalies at that point can cause problems.
You may want to zoom into that area, if you can pin point it, and see for spikes or holes.
