New Updates to madCAM

[Mauri R]

Hi,
Does anyone know how to implement the following new updates to madCAM in the Post Processor.
I use Mach4.
There are no new post processors in the update.

I am mainly interested in G93.

Mauri.

• Two new variables for the post processor. "cutter_tool_list" and "machining_time". It is possible to get all cutters that are used and the total machining time listed in the output file. (3X,4X,5X and 5Xtra)
• Post processor support for inverse time feed (G93). (3X,4X,5X and 5Xtra)

Mauri,

The inverse time feed can be used as below.
:
:
*TOOLPATH_OUTPUT*
TRANSFORM
*TOOL_LENGTH_OFFSET*
NO
*INVERSE_TIME_FEED_MAX*
1000000
*INVERSE_TIME_FEED_ON*
G93
*INVERSE_TIME_FEED_OFF*
G94
:
:
For example, It can be used in the tool change and tool stop sections as below.
:
:
*TOOL_CHANGE*
("toolname")
M6 T"toolnr"
M03 S"speed"
G00"inverse_time_feed_on""x""y""azero"
G01"zhome"
*END_SECTION*

*TOOL_STOP*
G00"inverse_time_feed_off""zhome"
M5 M9
*END_SECTION*

Joakim,
I just cannot figure this out.
I tried a number of combinations but it does not change F Speed for the A Axis to equal a G93 surface speed.
Above is a sample of my sample Post Processor for my Router Table.
I sent you an email with more data and my Test Sample as it was too big to load here.
PLEASE correct my errors so I can make it work.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mauri
