HELP: Fanuc 3M Post Processor

jluck001 — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 00:24:05 GMT

We have been working on our 1982 Yuasa Accumill with a Fanuc 3M control. Does anyone have a working Fanuc 3M post processor for Fusion 360 that they could share? We have been looking for some time now. It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Justin

That's quite the vintage machine. Do you have any code that you HAVE run on it, even if it was just hand-coded?
Now, compare that to the posted code from Fusion when using the generic Fanuc post, what are the main differences?

Sorry it has been a while.

One of the main issues with using such a vintage machine is the lack of modern commands like G54 for work offsets. You can only use legacy commands (i.e. G92 in place of G54). This machine also does not have an auto home function or the ability to add notes into the code (I know, frustrating).

I will attach a sample code that I made using CAMBAM for this machine. Although CAMBAM is limited compared to F360, making a PP for CB is so much easier due to its ability to create the PP in a GUI environment.
