CAM post process failed (Mach3)
I was excited to try the adaptive clearing MOP for a first time. it showed a 50% reduction in machining time vs my typical CAMBAM generated code. my 3-D part uses the adaptive MOP for rough out and then the parallel MOP to finish. I couldn't create a .NC file, just a .TAP file, but renamed it for MACH3 loading. I noticed the Abnormal button flashing on and off while loading in Mach3, which never happens with CAMBAM files. turns out the adaptive clearing portion never loaded and it only ran the finish step. I tried just one MOP at a time and sure enough, the adaptive failed and the parallel would process. I was getting G90/G91 errors (???). I never generated gcode with CAMBAM that didn't run, so am clueless as to what is happening. with Cambam I never had to even look at the Gcode or modify it. this part generates like 500K of code. the 1001.tap.failed file mentioned another report for details, but I can't find that.
with further testing it seems the .TAP file name doesn't matter to Mach3, right?
my adaptive clearing step seems fine within fusion. the simulator runs it fine. one post suggested using a Linux post processor rather than the Mach3mill, but that didn't fix anything. I am using all defaults in post processing.
