Hi Les, We have a product which we produce in several different versions and sizes for our different customers. For each version of our product we have made a specific generic and parametric drawing in SolidWorks (SW), with a list of all the necessary customer specific parameters. We also have a She...

Hi Les, Thank you very much for the efforts and attempt. I just ran the new postprocesser, and it still splits up X,Y and Z. Below is an example. G90 G40 (- welding -) M03 G01 X886.5000 Y84.6779 (- Cutting -) M05 G00 X1040.0101 Y100.0953 G00 X1040.0101 Y100.0953 Z0.0000 M03 It is the "G00 X1040...

Hi Less, Thank you for your reply. Here are my settings for my work: - Welding Z = 100 - Cutting Z = 1 - Rapid clearance Z = 10 This works fine for me: - when making several cuts in a row, the laser just lifts to Z = 10 mm in between the cuts (and soon this will be reduced to 5 mm) - and it also wor...

Hi Les, Thank you for your reply. When going through the code in the post processer, I did see that M05 was part of the code for lifting. I also kind of imagined, that changing this would be a lot of work. The position of M05 is super important when welding, as applying to much energy on the materia...

Hi Les, Thank you for your reply. I understand the code, and I understand the magnitude (or lack there off) on cut times. However, I do not think lasers in general are "into the material" when cutting?! At least our laser, never dives into the material, its always above 1 - 2 mm. Therefore...

Hi Less, I am using post processor: "Richauto 3 axis.scpost". I experienced a problem with a pause function G04, and when digging through the codes, I noticed that the post processer is inserting the M05 in an inexpedient position seen from my perspective. Let me start with a simple transi...

Hi Less, I am using post processor: "Richauto 3 axis.scpost". When I insert a "rapid move", I can choose "Move Z first", "Move Z last" and 3D. 3D is my choice, and the code looks like e.g.: G00 X1388.5000 Y250.0000 Z100.0000 However, when moving between two op...

Les - when are you planning on the new stable being out?

Hi, I have a CNC laser, which I am using for both welding and cutting polymer films. The warning "cut start is above rapid clearance plane" is unfortunately appearing many times in my program. I am looking for a way to avoid the many warnings, as they make the code difficult for me to read...
