DATRON M8 Post processor

Ryan_Fab — Tue, 10 Jul 2018 12:29:21 GMT

Would anybody happen to have and be kind enough to share a post for the Datron M8.

The ones available for download are no good for me, as my machine is a 2004 and has software version v7.06r

TIA

Did you ever get the post?

No I’m afraid not. Are you you looking for one too?

Which post are you using and which issues do you have with the post?

Ryan_Fab — Tue, 13 Nov 2018 10:02:06 GMT

I'm not able to use any of the ones available.

There isnt anything that caters for Software Version 7.06

The posts should be compatible with that version as well, so it would be good to know what kind of issues you have.

Are you able to link me to the post you think should work?

Thanks

Thanks but this is the one Im having issues with.

Ive attached the generated code from your suggested post and a code generated by EdgeCam

The photo shows what remains of the fusion code when I load it on the Datron

Sorry, the code attachments don't seem to be uploading? Maybe Im breaking a rule?

Not sure but maybe this is causing the issue, but please have a look at the screenshot attached. There is an option in the properties for the dialog setting, try to set that to "disabled" or "checkbox". Maybe your version does not support these dropdown dialogs.

I'm out of the shop today. I'll give more information tomorrow if that's okay.

Finally circling back...mistake was on my end. Post works fine now that the user knows how to use it.

My machine does not support some of the smoothing or dynamic mode. Machine would gag when program was posted with those features active.

Hello,

My Datron M5 also doesn't work with one of these Fusion PP and needs a good one. Could you post here the Fusion PP that works with your M8? Many thanks

I'm sorry to report I no longer have the M8 machine. Maybe you can ask Adrien Montero at Datron to help you diagnose the issue with your post?

Thank You very much for your quick respond. If You still using Fusion 3600, maybe it is still saved in Your personal PP Library?

No, I checked before I replied. It's lost to history. I'd ask Adrien Montero...he's really good with Fusion 360.
