Re: THC postprocessor

No GRBL does not support M1, M0 can be used, although I don't understand why you sent me this postprocessor. I don't think you understand me again. In fact, everything seems too simple. No cheap controller other than LinuxCNC can output the required signal for a constant speed. That's why I offered ...

Re: THC postprocessor

Well, my problem is that the arcs differ not only in length! If lead in and out arcs are used, then it becomes a complete mess. Because the rules are made with one logic - and that is that the arcs are in the middle of the contour, not at the end! I try to come up with a universal rule so that diffe...

Re: THC postprocessor

Ha ...., you really don't understand what I wrote to you? Well, another person can help, although it won't be very nice if someone else does it for you. Read again what I wrote, if you do not understand something, because of the translation I will specify if necessary. The good thing about what I su...

THC postprocessor

Hello, Mr. Newell. I have an idea but no programmer skills. How can a postprocessor with THC be modified to perform the following logic: At the beginning we declare the variables - "slow distance", "slow radius", "slow speed" and "slow angle" They will then be...

Re: tool type variable issue

Then it will be very interesting - HVAC Plasma which has no roller ball plate rider torch height control.In them, the drive of Z is with a pneumatic cylinder.Then will the cutting of 0.5 mm sheet metal be monitored by voltage?!?!?

Re: tool type variable issue

I can't understand you. What is the point of setting the height of the tool? Are you saying that you do not probe the height of the material with G31Z- ~ G92 Z0? Because if you do, you do not need anything else.

Re: tool type variable issue

Explain if you like in detail what exactly you are trying to do by editing the postprocessor. What exactly function are you trying to get.

Re: Operations feedrate verses tool feedrate

In my opinion, a good option is to have created tools for all the thicknesses and consumables you work with. This way, with just a few clicks of the mouse, you will create the file you need and start doing your job, and you won't have another chance to make a mistake!

Re: Operations feedrate verses tool feedrate

We use version 6.0.28 and the operation remembers the last set cutting speed feed rate and does not import the speed of the selected tool.
The tool set is saved in the SheetCAM folder.

Re: Use Path Rules to Set Post Variable

You may be right about the latter, but unfortunately you are the only one who can say if there is a solution to this problem. And there is a solution - maybe I should add "change of direction within a certain distance - (???) mm" (can be set as a variable or as a value in a cell) You under...

Re: Operations feedrate verses tool feedrate

Something that should not be so. It is no coincidence that it is possible to define a tool with operating parameters for it. Why not extract the information from its parameters, but allow for duplication?

Re: Use Path Rules to Set Post Variable

What do you not really understand? Your problem is similar to that of plasma cutting. If such a rule can be made, which I propose, in any place where the direction changes by more than ??? degrees, whether at an angle or with an arc or with a series of small straight lines will be set as action poin...

Re: Use Path Rules to Set Post Variable

Although Les will not like this, I personally think that the introduction of a new rule makes sense if it solves a problem that affects ALL users using * for plasma and laser. What do I mean - if there was a rule - when changing direction by more than ... degrees, whether at an angle or with an arc,...

Re: Postprocessor for rotary plasma

It's very simple to edit the postprocessor you use.Find the line that says "post.Text ("\n M03\n")" and do it - post.Text ("\n M03 S1000\n")

Re: Manually disable a path rule at specific location.

One more thing I forgot to specify - I hope Mr.Newell thinks of the "run time" function because this feature is characteristic of every CAM. However, calculating the execution time of a G code cannot happen without a proper analysis of the movement of the machine. That is, it must be predi...
