You could do it that way if no SBP post processor exists.
#EDGECAM POST SOFTWARE#
By developing these post processors in consultation with Haas, EDGECAM dramatically reduces these potential problems. Does anyone have a post processor for EdgeCam that can generate code directly to the ShopBot The latest versions of the Shopbot software can process g code directly. The worst case scenario is that there could be a collision, damaging the part or the machine. It may not accept the code from the outset, or may stop running in the middle of a program. Simply hit the button and it produces code for the machine.Īs post processors form the critical link in sending NC code to the machine in a format it can read, the machine simply will not work properly if the post is not right. Using a post processor in EDGECAM is a menu choice. In addition to the post processor, EDGECAM provides machine graphics for simulation purposes for each post, assisting the programmer to visualize the machining process and avoid collisions. EDGECAM’s new posts have been written in consultation with Haas and are aimed at supporting all functions of the machine. Check out our video to see how the EDGECAM strategy manager pairs your best practices with feature-based machining strategies for the production of fast, reliable and highly-automated solids machining. Post processors are typically written on an “as needed” basis, to meet a customer’s specific requirements, and therefore, may not support all machine functions. And developers also intend to produce posts for 4- and 5-axis VF mills and Haas lathes.
#EDGECAM POST SERIES#
EDGECAM Creates Post Processors For Haas VF Series 3-Axis MachinesĮDGECAM has created a library of 33 post processors supporting the Haas VF series of 3-axis milling machines.
