Mastercam and Morbidelli Router

[jmdsilva]

Hi there Everyone,

 

I'm from Portugal and I've been working and learning Mastercam for a few months in the company where i work, we have a CNC router with Fanuc Controller and everything works has it should.

 

A couple of months ago a friend of mine asked me to help him programming a wood CNC, a Morbidelli Author xxxxx (I don´t know the model exactly) and i just can't get the thing running. The machine has a USB port to import the files that are created externally.

 

I need some help to get the thing right, can you please tell me how do i import the g code from Mastercam to the machine? Your help would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Does it run Xilog ?

Does it run Xilog ?

Yes it does doug. But i think that i have to convert the file to .pgm from the Xilog.

[dougm]

here is some sample code

change file extension to .XXL

you should be able to open and edit in Xilog

the machine will save as .pgm

 

you may have to remove the XPL line this is for a 5x machine

Thanks for your reply doug. I actually did something similar to what you suggest but an awkward thing happened, i tell what i did. My friend has some ".pgm" examples which actually work fine, i oppened those programs and saved them to .xxl, oppened with Xilog, then saved to .pgm once again and the program did not work on my friend's machine :/. I'll post the examples here for you to see if you don't mind.

Many Thanks!!!

[dougm]

the only thing i see is the header

it should be all one line

the header is the most critical line in the program

 

from your .xxl

 

H DX=1020 DY=600 DZ=25 -A R100 /DEF
O X=0.5 Y=350 Z=-10

 

the "D" values are part size

-A and R are table Zone

DEF is tool file   should be "DEF"

BX BY BZ is a coordinate shift on machine

 

only thing i can suggest is open the file in Xilog on the machine

make sure the dialog boxes or filled in

with all these values

 

the version of xilog these programs come from may be different than yours
