SCM POST MODIFICATION

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello all,

I am having some difficulty utilizing a generic SCM post I am using from the fusion post library. I am trying to post projects created in fusion 360 to an SCM Accord 30 FX-M CNC Router using the post  "scm-cps - Generic SCM Prisma 110"

I have attached a pdf of the code created in an scm program I usually use called Maestro with its native post (similar coding to Xilog Plus) and a comparison of code created in fuson 360 using the generic scm post

I made three header modifications to the generic scm post before using it:

 

I changed units from MM to IN

I changed to field from A to AB

I changed the tooling file from DEF to DEF_MATRIX which is the tooling file associated with the machine I am using.

 

The sample program is very simple consisting of a 3/4" wide by 24" long by 1/4" deep slot machined in two lateral passes using a 5/8" dia. router.

The Maestro program runs fine (as expected), but when I run the program created and posted by fusion 360, the cnc picks up the 5/8" dia router bit, travels to the first machining operation (X=24 Y=4.688 Z-2.325) and then just dwells there with the spindle running at clearance height.

I realize that I must be missing header information but don't know how to proceed with adding it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not comfortable using Java Script for any in depth post modifications.

Thanks in advance,

Hi I am a brand new user of Fusion so not sure how much I can help but I have successfully used Fusion to run my scm Record 5 axis machine with the same post processor, I use xilog plus. Have you tried running the .xxl file through the Winxiso app to convert it to a .pgm? You should find Winxiso in the bin folder in the program folder containing Xilog if you are using windows.

Hi Stephen,

 

I just tried using the generic post file in Fusion 360. I have a Record 110 Al Prisma, but I had an issue in Xilog that said "The tooling file set is not in the main directory". I am new to this so may be an easy fix I don't know about.

 

Thanks

Good afternoon @Anonymous 

Did you manage to sort you post processer out? 

we have an Accord fx20 and i have created a post for it and was wondering if i could skim over yours to see if there is anything else i should/ could put in it. 

also what did you end up using for the saw blade?

Hi sir,

You have a working post processor ?

Willing to share the post with me ? I'm running a SCM Morbidelli M600.

 

Kind regards,

Jonas
