Lathe problems with G1,G2 and G3

Post by Harm »

Centroid Acorn Lathe Post processor
Hi,

I am having troubles with generating a nc file that works with the centroid acorn lathe controller.
With a test file from centroid the cnc lathe is working correctly, but when I try to post my own NC file the lathe stops working at every G1 and G3 command... I have already tried the post processor from Franco with no succes. I have already downloaded the newest centroid lathe software from fusion 360 but nothing helps.
I attached a NC file that I have generated using the fusion post processor.

Thanks for helping.

My guess is your post processor is using feed per rev movement and you do not have a spindle encoder. Hard to tell without a report file and the g-code file you are trying to cut.
