featurecam, fagor and ferrari e500

[Giorgio Tosonotti]

hi guys... I'm new on the site and so forgive me. I would like to ask you some advice: I am using featurecam and as you know it has a fagor language. all good for charity, but the problem that recently in my owner bought a 5 axes c.b. Ferrari e500 that the fagor manco for the counterfodera digests it. can you tell me if featurecam can be set to use it on this milling or what to do?

Of course you can. just buy the right post processor.

all machines, under the look that the operator sees, run with programs written in iso.
you just need to create a dedicated post to write the program with the m and g functions set in the machine and with the favorite settings.
programs you create in featurecam on which machine you use them?

hi, as they have already told you, is not that featurecam only works with the machines with the post fagor.. .
you need the file to postprocess tool paths to control your c.b.ferrari. . .
Let's watch if I guess... is it elexa? :unsures:

in the company where I worked before we had a gb-ferrari of 2002 with elexa control but while having changed 2 cams we never had big problems.
to the limit the postprocessor will be revised at the beginning

 

[Giorgio Tosonotti]

Si iiiii è elexa ale!!!

 

[Giorgio Tosonotti]

Can I still "break" wings? How does postprocessor work? I mean, where do I find it? Where is she? on the hardware cb or on featurecam? Sorry the stupid question but I just started using cam software

 

[Stefano_GS]

the postprocessor we say that it is a software that transforms the tool paths in the machine language (every machine "talk" its language according to the control with which it is equipped).
for example the same tool path will be written with different codes if the post-process for two different machine tools.
This is software that is usually provided to you by the same provider of the cam software. you will need to provide it with a set of data on the control of your machine, usually give a card to fill out.
the same provider can give you instructions on how to proceed (usually it is about putting files in the folders prepared) or can proceed directly to your home.
when you go export a tool path you will need to select the postprocessor according to the tool machine on which you will go to work. If you have one car you will have only one choice and it will be even easier.

I recommend you contact the software provider cam and make you explain well from them and make you make an offer

I'd say stefano_gs told you everything.

you, until you have a calculated path inside your project in the pc, it is not ready to be read by the tool machine.

we imagine you have three machines with three different controls
so that these paths can be performed on each of these machines, you must be in possession of three different "posts"

a part of the software or a special software transforms this tool path into multiple lines of g-code

type

n° m3 s200
No.
n3 g0 x0. y0. z100.
n4 g f9999
...
and so forth

you have to call those of the software assistance and say "I need an elexa post for featurecam", my control is elexa model... and the machine is a model c.b.ferrari. . .

they will give you this "post", how to set it up from software then will tell you those of the assistance, I featurecam have never seen it, I use powermill
