Post For Prototrak SMX


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can find a good Mastercam post for a Prototrak SMX Mill. The one I have been using creates code that if I don't go in and edit the first Z-axis move it will rapid down to Z0 then back up to where I initially set the rapid position to.

 

Also I'm having trouble with a program and I'm told to create it as a .GCD due to the Prototrak SMX can't understand the G18 that is in the program I created, but when I try and save it as a .GCD I get the following A error message saying it cannot locate .GCD in the control definitions.

 

Any help would be gratefully accepted,

 

Thanks,

 

Dale

I don't understand. We have a Prototrak SMX and it reads G18 just fine. We also use .GCD all the time. Perhaps this was an option that you didn't purchase or maybe you're not reading in the GCD code properly.

 

I'm not the one who runs the machine, but I think you have to OPEN AS: G Code .GCD

 

I hope this helps
