acramatic 2100 4th

[wortley]

Hi all,

Im looking for a post process for an Acramatic 2100 with 4th axis. The Vickers Acramatic post does not seem to work for 4th axis work however I am using this one for standard 3 axis work. Can anyone share a 4th axis working post or give detailed instructions on how to edit the post. I have very basic knowledge on how to edit post processors with vsc.

Thank you

Hi @wortley ,

You can configure an acramatic generic post processor with 4 axis configuration. Please refer to FANUC - Inverse Time and A-axis post-processor. By adding the following logic in the post-processor you will get the expected NC output.

Add machine kinematics, 

function onOpen() {
  if (getProperty("useRadius")) {
    maximumCircularSweep = toRad(90); // avoid potential center calculation errors for CNC
  }
  if (true) { // note: setup your machine here
    var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[1, 0, 0], cyclic:true, preference:1});
    machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);

    setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
    optimizeMachineAngles2(1); // TCP mode
  }

Add multi-axis feedrate logic. (Copy logic from start to end)

// Start of multi-axis feedrate logic
.
.
.
// End of multi-axis feedrate logic

and updating following functions in the post-processor.

• onLinear()
• onRapid5D()
• onLinear5D()

Thanks,
