Inventor CAM to Laguna IQ HHC CNC Router

rpizzo — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 03:04:22 GMT

HI,

We recently purchased a Laguna IQ HHC CNC Router for our high school technology program. We teach Inventor and wanted to keep using the Inventor platform for the kids to send work from Inventor (CAM tab) to our router. We have a few other options, but it makes the most sense to stick with Inventor and not have to teach another cam program. We can't get the router to work correctly. I'm not positive, but I think the issue is that we don't have the correct post processor. I've tried a few other files from other post here in the Autodesk Community Forum and they are not working. I contacted Laguna and they said they do not make post processors and to contact Autodesk. They did however send me sample code for our machine which I've snipped and put the first 40 lines below.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,

Hi @rpizzo,

Like @mcgyvr said, HSM has its own platform.

The answer to your question is, you need a customized post.

You can also contact a reseller for that.

Our school also has a laguna IQ and we want to do exactly what you are doing, go from HSM to the IQ router. Did you find a post processor that works? If you could let me know that would be great.
