Anilam 3300mk processor

[szkiXHQG3]

I am using an older 3300mk Control. Ihave been using the 7872_anilam post process conversional modal v1  processor it seems to work well except every program has to be modified in editor because at the beginning and end of the program it rapids to z 0 usually the traveling across the part. Here is a short section beginning code and end code.

So if there's no place in Fusion to define the XY home, I was thinking I might set the value in the post and offer the user the option to change the default.  I assume that would be done using this mechanism of Property and Values.  I just didn't want to redefine that XHome and YHome if I could pull the values in from Fusion directly.

Xander: 

writeMoveBlock(gMotionModal.format(0), homeX, homeY);"

Yes, this is the section where I saw the Home reference  (Sorry... Xhome and Yhome, that was the "other" program). 🙂

So you've both given me some things to look at. I'm going to poke around myself first, to see If I can deconstruct what's there and modify it for my needs.

I have an older Anilam 3000 M and the3300mk processor does great except that the drilling off need to be drilloff, and the for radius's that can not be I, j, or k nor a radius but needs to be CornerRad. Is there a possibility to update this post to do this?

Best Regards

@Anonymous Are you using the post from this thread, it works a lot better than the generic one supplied with Fusion. Read through the whole thread and use the newest version. I would avoid using Radius for corners as it give a lot or errors as you'll see reading this thread and the one I linked to, Anilam controls have a lot of problems with arc moves.

CornerRad is only for Line to Line corners with a fillet. You can use it for Arc to Arc to Arc  type contours. You're much better off with XY IJ  or XY R output.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

Mark that was Perfect!

Can you use Fanuc nc program to anilam cnc.

I am also expert user of anilam cnc 3300mk

[amberg47]

You can you Fanuc nc code on anilam cnc.


It's easy and more inaccurate!

Not so easy if you want to edit the program at the control though. The post I've modified works well, I haven't had any problems with it and how is the Fanuc code more accurate?

I have attach a nc file that you can run in your machine with rs232 dnc connection

[HughesTooling]

I don't use DNC I use a compact flash disk for transfer, I can see the advantage using G code for DNC though as the programs will be smaller. Have you tried without line numbers I think that should work and will reduce file size.

Mark

[amberg47]

I am with this type of NC and I always run DNC method because its easy and faster and I also run machine in 3d mould finishing so that my program is so big and also run machine above 30 hours so that  DNC is much help me.

I use fanuc NC data after adding @ sign before block number

I am much happy because this idea is issued by anilam technician person from USA

[mike.mattera]

If the Conversational Anilam post is well written and the code has been filtered with the Smoothing options, the file size shouldn't matter that much. Conversational will probably still be bigger than G-Code. Other than that, there is no advantage to running G-Code in a 3300 control. I see G-Code as a disadvantage because you cant visually check the output. In 30 years of writing posts (10 of those years working for Anilam) I have found it is always better to get as close to the native language of the control. There are plenty of good Anilam 3300 posts available.

Most conversational controls will also read G-Code (Mazak, Heidenhain, Anilam). The manufacturer will almost Always recommend running in the native conversational format. I cant imagine Jerry Bouvier recommending G-Code. But more like saying it was an available option, if that's what you want to do.

I run my A3300 in Conversational.

[amberg47]

You don't need any conversation about run G code on anilam 3300mk.

Just add @ sign every block of line and send to machine direct via DNC method.


It's much easy and more inaccurate

I have been using this method since 2003

im having huge problems with the Anilam 3300mk control using fusion code. nothing I've read helps me can anyone email me to maybe help ? half of the attachments in posts don't show up anymore. thanks lipscombrandy@gmail.com
