Hi Guys,
We have recently upgraded out Multicam 3 Axis CNC router from the proprietory control system to a system that uses server drives driven by mach 3.
The question / issue i now have relates to the post processor that Enroute uses to output the code to Mach3 (mill).
Just as a note - i know 2/5 of bugger all about G-Code as i am not a machinist, I learnt to program and use our router through enroute only! I have had only VERY limited G-Cade experience and dont know any of the codes off by heart!
I am using the "Mach 3 IJARCS" post processor ( called a driver in Enroute) however i am finding the following problems:
I have attached the .TAP file output by Enroute and will discuss the lines that i notice faults on.
1) - Line N30 - Enroute is putting a tool command in the G code asking for tool that does not exist - We do NOT have a tool changer and we install the tool as per my program in Enroute
2) - Enroute is not calling for the misting unit to be activated on plunge ( G8 i believe should be the code to activate the mister, and G9 to de-activate? but i'm not sure of these codes)
3) - Tool Movement speeds seem to be in incorrect units - I have selected mm/second in the program, but it still seems to output in mm/minute (I have not had a chance to work out what is actually happening here - but the driver is definitely not using the units i selected)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I have emailed SAi who make EnRoute to see if there is a post processor that is known to work with mach but i have had no reply.
Cheers
Rob.
