Homag Weeke PP

[manu160281]

Bonjour aux lecteurs,

Questions: i'm trying to better my Homag PP and I wish the "Clearance Plane" / "plan de dégagement"  automaticaly to be set to the thickness of the  "stock size + 2mm".
So I build a style used by the pocket operation but in Cutting depth/clearance plane cambam refuse to be set to "{$stock_height}+2"

Any Idea?

Thanks

Hello

The macro only works in the post pro, and maths are not allowed.

But, he could add a 'post-build processor', written in a language like VBS, which would allow math to be done.

To make my actual 'machining life' easier, I use VBS 'pbps', and much-enjoy the freedoms they give to scan for specific entries and do math as necessary.

Yes sure, all can be done with a post build, but needs to be programmer ...

Vb .net (or C#) is more easy to use to do post build processor, the VBS needs very strange settings in the post build processor properties to be able to works ...

My ultimate goal would be to make it usable for every Homag/weeke user with easy Install.
Right know it consist of installing a PP and a Style file. Adding some scripting would make the job harderto install?

Another related issue is that speed is written in m/min in my CNC soft whereas CB give it in mm/m => fortunatly the CNC accept explicit division so
F_="{$mop.cutfeedrate}/1000"   \vitesse d'avance\  IS working

Attached is the actual project running without G02/G03 => circles are splitted in lines
It needs woodwop to be installed, 50 starts free trial

"Adding some scripting would make the job harderto install?"
------------------
Only for the writer of that script.  To install only requires that one more file (the post-build script) be copied into the post-processor folder.  Even a non-programmer should have no difficulties doing that.

I disagree with David over the 'perversity' of VBS.  It requires that you know it, yes, but using VBS is no more difficult than any other programming language -- for some, it's even 'more natural' than other languages.

I'm not affraid by the VBS or C as I used to use it. But, I think I'm not yet familiar enough with cambam to choose the best developping way without risking loosing time and doing nothing... so I'm moving step by step, circle after circle

Today is coming another problem while implemanting Homag/Weeke MACRO 102 "Drilling/perçage/Bohr",
For this macro, as it 's performed by the CNC drilling unit, I need to disable all the moves for the CB drilling OP but, I sahll not disable those movement for all other operations.
I can't find a solution to do so! Shal I built my propoer CB Drilling OP wich i'd like not do do to simplify installation.

Why?  The drilling MOps in CB work exceedingly well.  I do thousands of holes a week with only the CB MOps.  My machines also have a 'native' drilling cycle, but why use those if CamBam can do the job as nicely?

Hello

Maybe you can use custom drill scripts ; have a look here

I don't doubt on that, but in my case I'm trying to adjust the CB PP so that the output is copmpliant with Woodwop.
This soft is a kind of visual program were users don't have to see and understand ISO CNC code, it's made for workshop.
In that soft a hole is made by 'clicking hole macro" and filling diameter/depth... see attached picture and related woodwop file format

But the problem is almost solved, it turned out that woodwop just dont care if X Y coordinate are remaining in the ouput (en bon français pour david si ces valeurs trainent dans le code) => this program removes unused / useless values wich is a very smart thing: thank you german software people who did that.

Il reste en début de cycle le mouvement rapide, c'est mon problème
