Hey everyone, I'm building a program for a Hurco machine a customer just got, and they are having issues with my cutter comp. I do not know if this is the issue, but it would be a start on my end to rule out possibilities. The cutter is wiping out material it shouldn't be, and I'd like to rule out a post processor error. Using mastercam, and the generic post. The sample code that ran in their machine before looked like it came from the same post. The 3d stuff looked ok, but what I ran with cutter comp looks more like it ran down tool center. All I have to go off of is the screenshot from simulation on the Hurco itself. On my end it runs great. Does anyone have any sample code of what the Hurco needs to go into a cutter comp cut? I figured the generic Fanuc would work, but it appears it does not. The generic post in Mastercam posts a D value every time G41 is engaged. Would that confuse it? I can run computer comp if need be as it is just roughing passes, but if I need cutter comp in the future if I work with them again I would like to know what is going on.

It is either with that, or would a Hurco incorrectly simulate a 2.5D pass created with wireframe that runs off tool centerline (no comp?)

Customer says comp is turning on and off, and wiping out detail. Here is sample code. Just a leadin to a straight line pass to leadout if this is where the error is. Repeats for depth cuts. Thanks!
