    Alphacam Post for WinCNC/Shopsabre 4896

    Does anyone have an Alphacam post processor that is compatible with WinCNC. My company recently purchased a used Shobsabre 4896, but I have no way to create programs.

    Thank you,

    Erik

    AlphaCam Post for WinCNC/Shopsabre 4896

    Hi Erik,
    After looking at the WinCNC site and their G,M codes and Auto Cycles I believe a Fanuc 6M post processor with I,J arcs is a good alternative post to suit the WinCNC controller and can be successfully modified to suit the controller and your machine.
    I've written quite a few post Processors in Alphacam for myself and can modify the post for you if you like. A working sample program would be useful and some info on the configuration of the machine (max feedrate, rapid feedrate, max spindle speed, number of axis, working plane, number of heads etc..)

    Regards,
    Frank.
