Hi all.
Is there anyone who can tell me if you can use G code X Y Z generatet from PC then transfered to the CNC by floppy disk?

example would be nice

I ask because right now we program directly on the CNC point to point and we use autocad to get the point to points and then punch them in manualy and some of the programs are very very long so it would be good to have a program where you can import the autocad drawing and generate the X Y Z and just copy it to a floppy disk and load it as a SUB program.
Any ideas is helpful guys.

Best regards
Flemming

Aspan 4 or later version off Aspan would do. Alternative could be Xilog.

Hi There,

Did you ever find a solution? You could type the program on a PC using Notepad and then convert the txt file to binary using the morbidelli converter program CNVRT.EXE
The .PGM which is not text can then be loaded from the floppy disk
