Share Your GCode / Mach3 and Mach4 Show Demo Code

« on: December 07, 2013, 08:37:11 PM »

Here is a ZIP file of a boat hull I produced as a demo for several of the shows last year, we ran it as a comparison on both Mach3 and Mach4.

It starts off as a 2.5D roughing pass and then finishes as a full 3D 45 degree pick feed finish profile.

The code is written for wood, plastic or wax type materials and a 24000 rpm spindle.  The feeds and speeds can be changed to match anything you need.

The material blank should be 45 (1-3/4") x 120 (4.75") x 32mm (1.25") minimum to allow for a 6mm on the metric version or a .250" cutter on the inch version.

The ZIP file has images of the part and also both Inch and mm versions of the code and IGES file of the part.

Please use with care as we do not imply any guarantee with this download.

Try using a different post for any Fanuc, Hass, Secos or Yasnak control model that is listed and see if it gives you similar looking gcode but with the correct G02/3 in the code.

Then you can compare the 2 posts and see why the Fanuc is not putting them in.

It looks like you need to look at the post as the code is not correct you have no G02/G03 on the lines N9 - N12, N14, 28,43,61,74 and 75

Share Your GCode / Re: trying to cut a bushing but....

« on: July 25, 2013, 04:00:33 PM »

all you need to do is this :-

Rapid to the center + the circle radius + or - the radius of the cutter e.g.

G20 G40
(1/2" dia cutter and 3" hole centered around X0 Y0)
G00 G90 X1.25 (1.5-.25) Y0 Z1.
Z.05
G01 Z-1. F10.
G02 I-1.25
G00 Z1.
(Then a 1/2" cutter and a 4" boss centered around X0 Y0)
G00 X2.25 (2.0+.25) Y0 Z1.
Z.05
G01 Z-1. F10.
G02 I-2.25
G00 Z1.
M30

I sounds as if the tool definition in BOBCAM has a max length of 2"
