Hi! I have adapted, over the years, an old postprocessor for my really old DECKEL FP4MA. The post processor works just fine but now with the new SolidCam 2017 we got some problems. For example one...

Here we are. Everything works now. Thanks for you invaluable help. Now became the part of trying the code on the machine. Problems coming... he he he. I will start one oparation at a time end see...

Oooooo Yes! there were these 3 lines... thanks a lot.

I'm still have some problem here:

Hi! i'm working on a generic FANUC PP for my Mill-Turn Machine.

What i cannot understand is that as i press generate G code I get something like this:

Hi! i'm looking a compatible even older PostProcessor that could be adapted to 31i Series FANUC Controller for a Mill-Turn 4 axes (YXZC)

I was able to built and customize my PP for an older DECKEL...

OK got it... just addet (zpos-safety):'+5.3(p*1000)' to the script

Hi! I need the "zpos-safety" parameter to be formatted as = '+5.3(p*1000)'
Now it comes out, for example, as Z+ 8.0 but I need it to be Z+ 8000 (according to my deckel contour 2 controller)

Where...

OK here's the file... on this machine I have done only small and simple program. I found the error that was in line 488 where I put ",' D+'tool_number" after "' z'zpos" but now the only d+ i get is...

Hi! I'm trying to edit an old .GPP file for a deckel Fp4MA. Everithing is working just fime but since this machine need that z compensation must be wrote after any z changes i've discovered a...

Hi! I'm just trying SolidCam 2011 but why the toolpath is so complicate? even for this extremely simple 2.5 milling part... I'm just using open pocket contour stategy. No way to optimize it?

The other problem is in N0155G41D+51X-7221Y+19032F125 where G41 requires G60 and M61 to activate the cutter comp. Is it correct? i'll try tomorrow

Hi! I have got some problem understending some errors related to G41 function. Here is the code i've done in a piece of program.

Well... I reviewed the file. It works! But it seems like a 5 axis Milling. In the code copare also an F parameter wich I don't know. Anyway thanks for the help I must learn something more on MCam...

Thanks a lot... for you courtesy. I know MCam only a little. Should be possible to reach almost the same result using only 4 axis? My machine has Z, X, C and Y. In the in the meantime I'll do some...

Hi! Thanks for reply here is the file. This is only an axample. I simply Extrude-cut a profile on a plane to an offset surface. You can use any profile that could be engraved on the revolved surface....

Thanks a lot to all. If i'm right this could be possible only on a cilinder... isn't there a different approach to angrave on this tipe of surfaces using the c axis? I don't want to use Y axis...

Do you mean the CNC-controller option in SolidCam? I've set it to xzc but the result is the same.

Here is what I've done if someone want to give it a look... The problem is the C axe in a turn-mill machine, because in a milling machine 3D engrving is very easy...and I can do it.

OK thanks to all... just made some tests but I didn't get the goal. Some one could help me with the meaning of Wrap and 4th Axis and Diameter? They seems to be the problem (see pictures) the first...

Hi! is it possible to 3d enrgraving on a revolved solid using turn-mill in SolidCam? See the picture for my solid example.

Hi! I'm new here.... is it possible with MCam to make engraving on revolved sufaces like in the picture. Using a turn-milling machine.
