Hello, I'm looking for a post processor for 5-axis SolidCAM. Can someone help me please?
Hello

[Brakeman Bob]

You'll have to be a bit more specific than that.

What machine is it for, what control?

What are the machine's kinematics? Is it a head/head, a head/table or a table/table design.

Is the machine a "3 + 2" unit or a full (simultaneous) 5 axis jobbie.

Hello,

thank you very much for your response.

The control is not important, okay generic fanuc, I just need the coordinates.

The kinematics of the machine is:
the axis (B) rotates around (Y). table
the axis (A) rotates around (X). tilting head
see attachment.Attachment 196932

Thank you.

I have a postprocessor 5 axis working,
but not for the kinematics of my cnc.
Has the fourth and fifth axis together, table axis parallel to the spindle.

I'm sorry but I can't help with that. My posts are for Heidenhain iTNC530, using PLANE SPATIAL and M128 on table-table machines.

The control is important because Fanuc is lot more picky than H'hain when it comes to 5 axis work (well, the controls before Fanuc 30i were) and you will need to build in the pivot point into the post processor calculations.

Thank you.
This information is very important to me.
My CNC is a NUM and for the fifth axis use this function:

G151 S1 EA0 EB0 EU0 EV0 EW0
............................
N5 G17 G41 G1 X39.971 Y7.673 Z-26.819 A3.8389 B14.5113
N6 X40.062 Y8.024 Z-26.819 A3.6414 B14.5612
N7 X40.132 Y8.306 Z-26.819 A3.4828 B14.5991
N8 X40.215 Y8.658 Z-26.819 A3.284 B14.6442
.......................
.......................
G150 S0

I think it's similar to the Fanuc
I need the post processor with kinematics as in the attached drawing, then I can edit and adapt to my CNC.
Does anyone have a postprocessor for me please?

Thank you.

That doesn't look like the Fanuc I used to program (150i). For a start, Fanuc would fault out if you had a G41 in there; I seem to recall G41.3 for tool radial compensation (and then only from centreline) and G43.1 for tool length compensation. Then there is the feedrate - 5 axis on Fanuc needed to have the feedrate expressed as inverse time rather than mm/min.

I'm sorry I cannot be more helpful. I have heard of NUM but never used it. Out of interest, what machine is it you are programming?

Hello,

I wrote a few lines in file.PRP
After processing the tool path, the file.PRP has been edited by who?
