Hi All,

I'm looking for a post processor for an XYZ 1010 Shopmill with Siemens 810D control for use with featurecam. Can you help?

Thanks

Hi MSB1,

You PM'd me about this but i don't have the post anymore, it didn't work! Did you get anywhere with finding one, i'm still looking?

Cant really do that as you can't see them. I clamped an additional 40kg of steel to the gantry to see how it performed and there was a vast improvement in the overall running of the machine. So i...

Could you do it with wax maybe? If your yellow paint isn't affected by petroleum spirit you could rub the text with a soaked cloth, that will lift the wax off?

One day I will find the time to finish the new gantry, possible window ahead! In the meantime I have added some steel weights to the uprights as I have found that on the odd ocassion a resonant spot...

If the lettering is quite large you may be able to paint the text. Lightly wet and dry to give a sharp edge. Silicone spray over lettering. Fill it with something soft like plasticene. Clean off the...

Hi Marius,

No reason at all. I knew of people using the campbell board with success so thats why I chose it. Also has facility for triggering more than one relay ie spindle and vac. Not sure if...

Ok, I have some pics together so this is the epoxy technique that I used.
First you need to find a flat table to work off, this could be a surface table, or a machine table of some sort (a mill bed...

I will try and get epoxy pics together tonight?!

I have finally made a start on the new gantry (I have had new rails for it for nearly a year now)! which is being done to accomodate Hiwin linear rails instead of the bearing shaft and to make it...

Hi Irfan,

Acceleration settings will depend on many variables, motor type, supply voltage machine inertia etc. I can tell you that my every day mach profile has rapids set to 6800mm/min and...

Corner rounding is usually due to motor tuning issues. You need to get the accel setting as high as possible in relation to the velocity setting without loosing steps. Mach looks ahead, if you are...

Thanks, what details are you looking for? I'll see what I can do.

No drawings available sorry. What info are you looking for?

The router has a footprint of approx 1160mm x 1700mm. x travel is 1280mm, y 880mm, z 150mm. The footprint includes the length of motors. These are not exact figures as i'm not near the machine but...

I can run my diy machine at 13,500mm/min or 531"/min without stalling and with plenty of motor torque left. Can't go any quicker as I can only get this with 45k pulse frequency in mach with fixed 10x...

Back from some time away from here as I've been a bit busy. Haven't done much with the new gantry as I haven't had time. I'll get round to that asap. Just got married too. The woman who was making...

Thanks g-coder. Should be able to work something from this.
Much appreciated.

I used two different epoxies. A high spec engineering steel epoxy was used for critical joints, branded as Devcon in the UK, this is a slow setting epoxy - 16hr cure time (they also do liquid steel...

After a few months of saying i'm going to fit new profile rails to the gantry, I have decided to beef the whole thing up. I strapped another 35kg of steel to the gantry as it is and it still ran...

As above, its an XYZ VMC1010 with rotary 4th axis (not used at present). Also has the Genova 24 tool change carousel.

Silly me forgot that bit!

Thanks if you can help.

Just wondering if anyone out there has a featurecam postprocessor for a Siemens 810D (or 840D). Would be great if anyone can help.

Thanks

Can anyone out there help? Looking for a featurecam post processor for a Siemens 810D (lead to believe an 840D will also work). Would be great if anyone can help.

I may be wrong but I think you cant run two steppers off one driver.

Machine has been running for a year now and I have had no problems. I havent noticed any crabbing/racking I doubt very much I would consider driving with two screws. I have seen plenty 8x4 maachines...

I really really want one of these!

I think the problem with mine was they would run fine horizontally with a load on, when orientated vertically for z the carriages would drop smoothly then get stuck, when applying a load in this...
