Which software do you use for writing the code for your machine? I am using Partmaster cam but the post processor is not the correct one and generates incorrect G-codes. |
Hi Charles, I wish we were advanced enought warrant some CAM software! unfortunately we are just really starting out on the machining road - though my boss is planning on getting a brand new VMC if/when we win this large order!
We had a chap visit us the other week and he was raving about EdgeCAM but as I understand it the package is severly out of our budget...
There is a smaller machine shop round the corner and we often get advice from the guy in there - he was asking if I could get my hands on a program called "OneCNC" - apparently it is lightweight (for his old laptop) but can accomodate many different machines ( He has a Haas lathe and a small Bridgeport VMC)...
Charles, I was looking at our Operators manual today, it is a pretty hefty volume to be scanning in and converting to PDF, it may be next week or so before I have the time to scan ours in and send it over to you. As I say our machine is up and running again now so there isnt an urgency for the book - it would just be reassuring to have one in the draw...
Best regards,
Pete
