Need Postprocessor for 350T with ROTARY UNIT for Vectric Software

Hi

Has anybody had any success with the rotary unit in Vectric Software.

I am struggling to try and get a postprocessor that works, it may be me, this is what I am doing

I set the chess piece job up in Vectric and save the Gcode, open Luban and import it into the workspace and it looks OK.

I send it to the machine, run the Origin assist, run the job at which point the spindle is not running and tool dives into the job and I hit STOP BUTTON.

I have checked the GCODE and the first move calls for Z to move to 10mm well the job is 35mm dia so the code should be setting Z to much higher value to miss the job , It seems to be doing that from the Postprocessor Header.

I am susre if I had the correct Postprocessor it would all work.

Sorry, I don’t know Vectric.

Here is some reference of the official solutions.

Hopefully some other users jump in..

I also do not know Vectric, so cannot provide a post processor, but if you can’t find one, or can’t create one (Does Vectric give guidance here?), I would not be afraid in your shoes to edit the GCode. This is cumbersome and needs to be redone for each new job, but if you use a text editor that can store Macros, it may be OK. Something you should carefully look at is axis assignment. The rotary axis is the B-axis, and there are cases where the CAM-software do it inverted, so rotation is wrong way round.
