MACH3 Post Processor for ArtCAM

[TomL21]

Is there a pos processor available for ArtCAM or can somebody help me write one. Just started using ArtCAM and it has a post processor for mach2, which seems to run okay on mach 3 with a couple tweaks to the code, but it doesn't support tool changes, so I have to make different programs for each tool. If anyone can help thank you.

Hi Tom,

where did you get the Mach2 Artcam post processor? I'm searching for it high and low.

[TomL21]

Honestly I'm not really sure because I just started working here with ArtCAM. But it seems to already in ArtCAM Pro 8. If you send me your email I can send both of them to you. You haven't come across one for Mach3 in your searches have you?

[sunmix]

Nope, it's kind of hard to search for post processors... My email is twindance@gmail.com, and if i've ever come across Mach3 post processors for ArtCAM, I'll definitely send you a copy. Thanks.

Here's a post for ArtCAM. I'm not sure of it's complete functionallity because I heard of one user who said it didn't process tool changes correctly.

I resently bought a Dayton Router Table (yer I know Silly Bugger!!!) it comes with absolutly nothing. I was told that it works with mach3 but as I can't connect the router to the computer - came with a 15 pin D-type connector. SO not too sure how this will work

Question are:
The post processor -what is it?
how does it work?
If I was using MC-x would it work on this router ?

sorry for the newbe Q's but I am new

Dear Juan Can you obtain the Mach3 postprocessor for Artcam pro9 ???
I need it because I can change tool with the Mach2 post...
If you can send me a copy in milimeters will be very preciated.
Thanks. Sebastian

I modify and rename the artcams existing post processor for mach2
And now works fine in mm with mach3 and support tool changing.
Just extract it and put it into the postp folder.
Enjoy
