    Default 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.

    Default 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.

    Default 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?

    It depends on the control. They have a add on that you can purchase that allows you to import G-Code

    Hi there,

    I am wondering if you were able to extract G-Code from the machine?

    I have an issue with mine where hardware seems to be ok but I got it without OS lincense. I found someone who would be able to help out but they need sample code, ideally having as many commands as possible that describe operations.

    Would be gratefull for any help with this matter.

    Best regards
