1. Improved Post Processors
We are always working to keep post processors up to date with new technologies. This is a summary of the main improvements made to post processors already in the library.
Generic Post Processors
-The generic postprocessors have been modified to improve output for tool length compensation and TCP commands.
-Added new 'order' key to the 'SequenceNumber' properties in several post processors.
-'Use Subroutines' property is temporarily disabled during the simulation process in several milling post processors.
-Fixed simulation between setups with different WCS in generic post processors.
-Back boring cycle has been fixed in several milling post processors.
-Unwind codes are now correctly output whenever a cyclic table axis is present in several generic post processors.
Milling Post Processors
Datron next, Datron next Inspection
Fixed incorrect output of multi-axis operations in the Datron Next post processor.
Fixed the unwind code to correctly reset the cyclic rotary axis in fanuc post processors.
Haas Inspection, Haas NGC Inspection
Several parameters for probing with live connection have been fixed in the Haas Inspection post processors.
Add extended work offsets to Hurco milling post processors.
Fixed missing format definition in handibot post processor.
-Updated Shopbot post to use shared content across postprocessors
-Fixed missing format definition in shopbot post processor.
Mill-Turn Post Processors
Jyoti AX 200-m Fanuc, Jyoti AX 200-my fanuc, Jyoti AX 200-msy fanuc, Jyoti AX 300-m Fanuc, Jyoti AX 300-my fanuc, Jyoti AX 300-msy fanuc, Jyoti TMC-200 Fanuc, Jyoti TMC-250 fanuc, Jyoti TMC-350 fanuc
Fixed incorrect turning output after radial milling in Jyoti post processors.
2. New Machines
Machine Library
The Machine Library lets you manage your machine tools by using Machine Configurations to define your available machines and resources. These configurations can automate the settings in your Job Setup.
There are many Machine Configurations available in the standard library.
Milling Machines
You will have available configuration files for some of the leading machine manufacturers:
The easiest way to get started, is to copy an existing configuration that matches some of the characteristics of your machine.
Additive Machines
3. Improved Machines
Milling Machines
Additive Machines
Wayland Additive Calibur3 (100mm Rectangular)
Wayland Additive Calibur3 (200mm Rectangular)
Wayland Additive Calibur3 (300mm Rectangular)
Wayland Additive Calibur3 (260mm Circular)
4. Tools and Tool Holders
The Tool Library lets you manage tools for Milling, Turning, Cutting (waterjet, laser & plasma), Touch Probes and Holders. The Tool Library lets you manage libraries of predefined tools and project documents.
Some fixes have been made to Fraiser Boss Beaver, Fraiser Carbider Poly, Haas Holders, Haas Tooling, and Haimer Holders. These modifications address minor issues and enhance overall library performance to better support user needs.
5. Post Processor Engine
Our development team is always working to update and fix the Autodesk CAM Post Processor engine. These modifications are not related to a specific postprocessor (as described above) but affect the entire library or at least the post processors using that specific class. The current post processor kernel is 5.370.5.
You can find here all the information regarding the Autodesk CAM Post Processor engine.
6. Post Processor Ideas
To make our library more varied and complete, we are always working on new post processors. Some of them still need more testing before being released in the public library. Every new Beta post processor is announced in the Idea Station, you can find all of them in the Post Processor Idea Station.
Please note that if you choose to use one of these post processors, you assume all inherent risk in using it and we ask that you proceed with caution.
That being said, we are looking forward to get your feedback!
