    Mastercam To Parker Compumotor 6K language

    I have a cnc router built around mostly parker servos, drives and a Parker 6K controller.
    I have been using Mastercam to output G code, and devised a complicate Excel spreadsheet that would translate, with a bit of manual cutting and pasting, into the 6K language used by the 6K.
    I have since developed a simple Python program that takes the Gcode from Mastercam and spits out the 6K code, including compiled paths.
    If anyone is interested, please PM me.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Hi there. Not been online for a while so soory for the delay.

    Can you email me a couple of G-Code files - 1 quite simple, 1 more complex. I will see how the converter works and can email you back the Parker code for you to try.

    Richard.
