Relative IJK resolves to absolute IJK = I73.84 J0 K-4.231 G3: Counter-clockwise circular interpolation (move in a circular arc at feed speed) YMMV, not responsible if you destroy your machine or it kills your dog. Practice, or watch the Z height closely or you will bury a tool in the work piece. The proper procedure is to clear the current tool length offset, use the MDI to issue M600, Start the program again (I usually start right at a tool change). If you abort in the middle of the job and then want to restart on a certain line the Auto Z touch off measuring doesn't work properly. I know of only one strange situation with the auto touch off version. Unless you have an auto z touch off plate and have remapped M600 and M6 in linuxcnc you really don't want to run the auto touch off version.
Afterwards fire up SolidCam and LinuxCNC will appear in your list of controllers. Decide whether you want to run the auto z touch off version or not and then rename the version you want to use to LINUXCNC.GPP. Use windows search if you don't know where the Solidcam Gpptool directory is.
SOLIDCAM GPP FILE ZIP FILE
Unzip the zip file and copy all 4 of the files to your Gpptool directory. I will be looking at that in the next 6 months as I get my lathe converted to a simple 2 axis lathe. I have also not touched nor added the lathe controller. I have a button to clear the TLO using pyvcp and an led that shows me if the TLO is currently set. If you use the auto z touch off version make sure you clear the TLO before *each* job (ie hitting start). I create a new file for each machining position since I need to take the part out of the vise, change it around and re-zero anyway.
SOLIDCAM GPP FILE MAC
I have tested nothing with changing planes or multiple setups in one file (ie MAC 1, MAC 2 in same file). As long as it simulates right in Solidcam, linuxcnc will work the exact same way. The way I use Solidcam is to select all the operations in a setup and generate a single gcode file for these. Specifically I have not done any 4th axis stuff or any tool compensation. If you change tools or use the TLO table in linuxcnc you'll probably want to uncomment it
SOLIDCAM GPP FILE CODE
General cleanup of the commented out code.Uses LinuxCNC DEBUG command to print out the tool needed at each tool change.Prints out a list of all the tools used in the job at the top of the gcode output including their descriptive names.Instead of Fanuc5a the controller is called LinuxCNC. G33.1 rigid tapping support (must have mill setup to do rigid tapping).Along the way as I've added parts to my G0704 mill I have modified it to support these things:įrom OrangeCat (calls M600 at beginning of file and intercepts M6 T# calls to measure each tool) I found the post processor by Robo Dan and other forum members to be very useful for starting out.
