I am trying to create the good post-processor at the moment. I read somewhere it may be linked to the old controller too (AMC instead of the recent one A2MC). I wish I could use Vectric/Vcarve/Aspire to do my programs but it seems the post-processor To the machine I'm always getting an error at different lines regarding X values or something. Works but Toolpath program is a pain, it's not friendly at all to program something and when I try to send program I have Toolpath for Windows & DNC programs on the PC that was included in the auction. To make it move in manual but when I go trough menus I don't really know what I am doing, I am just trying I don't have any manual and even missing the interface sticker buttons at the front. I just acquired an used one (Millennium) at an industrial auction. P.S: Here's the post processor (as a text file) I've been using, in case it helps. I guess, my question is, are the issues related to the post processor I am using? If so, how can I get a post processor that will work correctly? If not, what is the issue? Is the version of ToolPath I'm using simply not able to handle complex GCode?Īlso, is there any way that I can get a newer version of the ToolPath software that runs the machine, or some other way to control the machine besides ToolPath, in order to fix these problems? I know the company website sells a newer version, but I'm not sure if this version will be compatible with the Millenium router. There are other minor inconsistencies that occur, but the software largely reads the GCode correctly. In addition, if I am doing very small circular pockets, the software will sometimes read them correctly, but also sometimes read only the first quarter or half of the arc, rather than full circles. For example, if I program an "Adaptive Clearing" operation with helical interpolation, the router will perform a straight plunge in place of the spiral path if it cuts multiple depths, but it will do the spiral perfectly fine if there are is only a single depth. nc files with a postprocessor that the metal shop was able to provide, which works, but with some inconsistencies. I've been writing CAM for the machine using HSMWorks and importing it into ToolPath as GCode. The computer connected to it has some version of "ToolPath" installed on it however, I am unsure of what version it is past the information that it requires Windows 95/98 or higher. My metal shop has an AXYZ Millenium router that is in excellent condition, but nobody there knows how to use, and I've been spending some time trying to figure it out. I'm new to the forum, so hopefully I got this to the right place to get an answer.
