Rotary Post Processor for Acorn 6 <Answered>
Where does one find a post processor after installation of a rotary?

Re: Rotary Post Processor for Acorn 6
What software are you using for CAD?
swissi's PP for Fusion 360 is great.
For Vectric, you'd want to check out what Gary Campbell has done: viewtopic.php?t=7078

Re: Rotary Post Processor for Acorn 6
Then you will want one of post processors listed in the link above. I've used the PP "Centroid_Y_to_A_Rotary_ST_G93" that assumes your rotary axis is parallel to your X axis and you are using inverse time mode. If the rotary is oriented to the Y axis, I believe there is a "X_to_B" version as well.

Re: Rotary Post Processor for Acorn 6 <Answered>
One more question, what is inverse time mode. Tried to look it up but no luck.

It's a different way to specify feed rate. This mode is more effective when you have rotary movements in addition to X and Z linear movements.
