Hi all,
I have recently bought a redsail RS-6090 from hflaser.com, machine has arrived and seems to work, a bit disappointed I had to build an old windows XP 32bit machine to get the NC Studio software to run, the issue we are having is we make an "NC" g code with artcam then load file to NC Studio, the machine starts to engrave then z axis drives the end mill through the table, I don't think NC studio understands the machine parameters. has anyone set one of these up and could assist?

Many Thanks

[RCaffin]

I thoroughly despise CAM programs which generate code looking like that. The stuff is incomprehensible (to humans).
They write:
N180G0X46.205Y66.452
N190G1Z-0.750F1000.0
N200G1X46.351Y66.598F2000.0
N210X46.520Y66.723

I would write:
G0 X46.205 Y66.452
F1000.0
G1 Z-0.750
F2000.0
G1 X46.351 Y66.598
G1 X46.520 Y66.723

That said, the code example you posted does not try to send the Z axis anywhere, other than up to Z=+5.0 and down to Z=-0.75 and Z=-1.5 , so I don't know what is happening.
Should I assume that you are working in metric AND that you have set the machine to metric? There are no g20/g21 instructions that I can see.
Also, I note the program starts with g91 but then goes to g90 - hardly obvious because of the revolting formatting, and a somewhat strange way of doing things.

Ah well, forgive my snarking about the generated code. It comes with age and the hot weather we are having. :-) You need someone with more experience of that machine and SW.

Hi valleyengraving,

I'm pretty sure that either your Artcam toolpath parameters should be wrong or should your Z Zero origin be.

Be sure to double check the simulation in Artcam, then the Z origin zero on your workpiece.

I'd say the safest way to test run is to set a Z origin well above the job so it will only cut air. Then observe the co-ordinate readings to assess the fault.

Be sure to throw in some feedback

Kudos!

Hi Roger,

Yes, wise words. I agree.

Those CAM generated programs are an eye-sore if you read them through.

And, it has to switch to G90 mode as it programs in ABS mode. The G91 in the first line was unnecessary though

What is the Post processor for the RS 6090?

Thx Bert
