Lathe SolidCam Post Processor for Acorn.

Post by avangard »

Hi
Here's a lathe post processor for SolidCam. It is based on the standard Fanuc 0t.
I made some changes to Fanuc 0t original post processor.
If someone can make useful changes to the post processor, please post the changes here.
My knowledge was enough only for what I posted.

Sorry for my English. But I want to be useful in this forum.

Hi
Made corrections in the post processor. The threading cycle now works correctly.

Is that post for SolidCAM https://solidcam.com or SolidWorks CAM? I have lathe and 4-axis mill posts for SolidCAM if anyone is interested.
Cheers,

Tom
Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Here you go. They are not full machine definitions suitable for machine simulation - only enough to specify the minimum machine information for my particular machines.

Here's the all the post processor files for my mill and lathe. This includes the post processor (.gpp), the pre-processor (.prp), and the machine definition files (.vmid). looks like iNumber_of_Fixtures is defined in the pre-processor file.
