    Downloading G-Code to LOCKFORMER PLASMA

    Does anyone know of a way to download a standard G-Code file to a Lockformer plasma? I have heard that there is a third party software package available to do this but can not seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Downloading G-COde to Lockformer

    What I know is that it is a Vulcan 200B machine and I believe the control is a lockformer control.

    Downloading G-Code to Vulcan

    Matt,

    I would like to discuss this further with you. Is there anyway I can call you? I would have you call me but I would rather it be on my dime. I live in Alabama. I am already creating G-Code I just don't know how to get it in to the control. It appears that it is a proprietary control and does not let you do that. Is this true?

    did you get this solved? I have a used lockformer plasma with a vulcan controller on it and am not real happy about the $5600 vulcan wants for their software.
    thank you
