Drill cycle post-processor for a Charly4U

[Hawk_08]

Hi in my lab we have a small 3-axis cnc machine a charly4u
http://www.charlyrobot.com/2-Web_sit...harly4U-GB.htm

The only problem is that te machine does not support any of the G-code for drilling hole (for example g-81 and g-80)

For the last couple of days I've been working on a way to circumvent the problem, but it does not work... EdgeCam always generate a canned drilling cycle and I dont know what to do.

Thanks in advance.

Hi M,

There are two easy ways of getting longhand code for drilling.

First one is on the hole cycle itself -see attached image. There is a dropdown box which lets you chose longhand or not.

Secondly - on the post processor (CGD file which opens with Code Wizard) if you look under Nc Styles,G-codes and Modality, and then under Hole cycles you will find a check box that says 'drill cycles always longhand'.

They should both do the same thing.

Good luck!
