CamBam files (*.cb) / Re: Postprocessor for Edm wire cutting

« on: February 19, 2019, 11:35:34 am »

But do I have to change them to zero every time? I could not find a way to make it permanent.

Have a read in the manual about creating a "Template" or "Camstyle"

Nuovo da modello, Stili CAM

http://www.cambam.info/doc/

Thank you so much! I will take some more time time to look deeper and create my own template.

Thanks to everybody for assisting me. It was an amazing help I got from the forum.

Right click on the selected polyline and then use 'Polyline' -> 'reverse' from the drop down menu

Thank you. The italian translation is not correct ("indietro" instead of "invertire il verso"), and that's why I did not consider that command.

thanks everybody for helping me.
I am very close to the desired output thanks to your hints.
Just two mre question, if anybody can help me:

1. I've realized that putting the fields "Cut feedrate" and "Plung feedrate" the commands F do not appear in the NC file. That's what I was looking for!
But do I have to change them to zero every time? I could not find a way to make it permanent.

2. I have a profile to machine, but the machining (NC file) is made in the wrong direction (let's say from bottom to top). How can I reverse its direction, from top to bottom?

Thank you Lloydsp

I think my original text was not so clear, sorry.

What I want is precisely to exclude Z blocks and movement, and F and S commands.
Here is the nc output I get from my postoprocessor:

.....
G00 Z3.0
X0.0
Z1.4
G01 F300.0 Z0.0
F800.0 X4.0
Y-2.8
X4.2 Y-3.0
X5.5
.........

here is what I want as an output:

G00 Z3.0
X0.0
Z1.4
G01 F300.0 Z0.0
F800.0 X4.0
Y-2.8
X4.2 Y-3.0
X5.5
.....

How can I modify parameters of my postprocessor in order to avoid any Z retracement up and down, and any F commands?

Hello.
I was looking for a CAM to be used on my wire cutting Edm machine (Fanuc Robocut Alpha 1B)
I have tried the  trial version of camBam and it looks very promising to me, because I am already close to get the G-Code customised as I wanted to. I think I will buy the license if my open problem will be solved

So, could somebody help me about this pending issue on G-Code postprocessing?

1. Since it is a wire cutting CNC machine, I would like to exclude from the output nc file any Z-axis movements and any F (feedrate) S (speed) values?
Would it be possible to exclude them using some prostprocessor options?
