Multicam Apex1R Post Processor Issues

Gomerpyro — Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:34:01 GMT

I am having am issue with the Post Processor for Fusion 360 for a Multicam Apex1R Router. A very simple contour with a radius lead in will result in a pecking cycle instead of the curved entry. Additionally, the "peck" will go deeper than the final contour cut. Has anyone seen this behavior or have an improved post processor?

@Gomerpyro

If the generic posts do not provide the required output, I offer post processor development services and happy to work out a solution for your machine! Please message me if further assistance is needed.

Hello @Gomerpyro ,

are you using the MultiCAM ISO post from the library ?
To be honest, I don't have any direct experience with this controller.

Since you are discribing issues with arcs, you could try modifying the circular configuration in your post.
I would suggest you to modify the 'allowedCircularPlanes' command. You could try to define to '1' as shown below:

it means that only arcs on XY plane are allowed.
Please test it carefully and let me know. Thanks.

I had the same thought - I am using the ISO post from the library. I believe it would be the XZ or YZ planes as well as the XY planes. I will do some testing to see if that helps out. The main quirk with this controller is that I believe the Z axis is inverted. (+ vs. -) from most machines.

Hello @Gomerpyro ,

the current MultiCam ISO post already has the Z axis inverted.

This is the current configuration:

you could remove the minus sign:

If you want to try this, I would suggest that you to disable all arcs:

Since this configuration handles the Z axis direction, please test it carefully if you wish to do so.

Thanks.
