Albatross CNC

[Simtech]

I'm looking for a post for an Albatross CNC machine.

The present system is called Edicad and outputs a series of variables that is recognized with the machine tool.

This machine is used to machine marble. Alphacam already has a post that outputs this type of language.

Format:

{SIDE TOP

{WR1

#1=0.1234 #2=1.2345 #3=2.3456 #5=0 #2201=0 #2208=1

}WRend

}

etc ...

Any info would be appreciated!

Hi Luc,

Unfortunately I don't happen to have anything like that, but I can certainly create a post for anything. I don't know if that helps give you another option or if you can create it yourself.

Good luck finding one "ready to go". It seems like there ought to be a generic post out there somewhere for every concievable machine by now, doesn't it ?

Keep the rubber side down.

cadcam,

I am an independant contractor based in Fox Island, Wa. I haven't put up a web site. Maybe I'll get to it one of these days. A friend of mine is allways raving about this forum so I thought I'd check it out. It's very interesting and informative. I've been a 3,4,5 axis programmer for over 15 years and have been using MasterCam for about 11 years. I've been doing post developement for about 5 years, including MasterCam and also Apt based posts. That's all I do now, no more NC programming. Just got tired of it after so long I guess. I think I can offer some good input on this forum, plus I'm finding some interesting items I hadn't been aware of. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks !!!

I have a question for you. What is the criteria for member of senior member status ? I just signed up and of course I am a junior member. How do I move through the ranks?

Greg,

The problem here is not writing the post, it's getting the info required for the machine tool's controller which is a PC based Edicad program.

Thanks anyway and welcome to the forum, all help and advice is welcome all the time.
