EZTRAK won't cut circles


Recommended Posts

I'm using MasterCam X3 to program a Bridgeport EZTRAK. All works well except it will not cut circles. The program looks good, has G3 code but the EZTRAK will not perform the G3 command. Is there something I can change in the post processor to get the solved? Thanks

 

Is this a 2 Axis or 3 Axis EZ-Track? I made post for our EZ-Track long time ago. I will look it up tomorrow morning when I go back to work.

 

 

Ara,

This is the program of a simple circle. G codes look good but EZTRAK will not perform the circle. Alll else works fine, just no circle.

I have both, a 3 and 2 axis and both will not perform the MasterCam programmed circle.
