converting biesse code

[sidskilly]

is there any free ware out there to read and write in the biesse format and convert g code? viseversa

we have a 325 rover with rt480 control,
currently using mach3's lazycam to write code, now need to convert it to xnc so the biesse can read it

also would like to do this via a com cable and computer

any help is welcomed

you make that sound so easy. convert g code. if only!
you need the correct postprocessor for your cadcam software, as they are software specific.
i purchased bobcad to get me going. they had a "similar" post processor available but it took me 2 weeks to write the scripts etc to post spot on to my machine. biesse 321 with 481 controller. i also purchased the best disk writing software available which works direct from xp rather than having to use old windows 3.1 software that biesse had to offer. i was so impressed with it i arranged to sell it to the english speaking countries! £600 sterling. it converts files to a format the cni controllers read, formats the disk and writes the file to floppy with just 2 mouse clicks.
dont bother searching for freeware, the biesse needs precise code to work.
