Generate Gcode for this machine configuration

[FacebookGroupMember]

Hello, i have a straight forward question
(since fusion360 is not capable of generating a GCODE for this configuration)
Does anyone know any software that will be able to generate Gcode for this machine configuration
My machine has only
Z-linear
X-linear and
C-Rotary axis
but fusion does not have nor it allows me to create such a configuration for 3 axis machine without 3 linear axis...........
When i try to delete 1 axis and leave just 2 linears and 1 rotary it trows me an error sayng it must have 3 axis............
here is the image of my configuration

Try using a lathe with rotary c axis

i tried, but its not the same, lathe has C facing the Y direction,
While my setup has the C facing Z direction...

and if i change that im getting an error

Nikola Dimitrijevic there should be a generic lathe with milling capability with the C axis turning about the z axis

That's a rather unusual configuration. Is it home brew or someone else's design? Perhaps there is a user group for these that would have some insight. The only place I see similar is on a mill with additional 4th (rotary) axis.

Chris Osborne it's a home brew, and i havent seen that design anywhere out there... thats why it's so difficult to find the software for it...
And the reason i used this setup up(even tho this is just a big prototype)
is because it is the least space consuming configuration..

Nikola Dimitrijevic Mach3 used to be the 'go to' control software for 'home' machines. It probably had 4axis mill configuration (where you would perhaps be able to ignore one axis) but I have not looked at it in years.

i have some mach3 board, also i have arduino with GRBL , because i actually started writing my own STL to Custom GCODE compiler, but thats a pain, so i would like to find some already existing...

I don't know where you got that, C axis rotates about Z axis in every configuration, it's not "facing" any axis.

If you use Doosan mill-turn post set to Lynx, you get output for same configuration you are listing, XZC.

Once you get tool path you need to edit headers of G-code to confirm to mill and the way your machine calls tool, turns spindle on and off, how it engages C axis,... etc.

Your CNC control is the key here, does it support functions mill-turn C axis is capable of, such as polar mode ?, ... if not, all you can hope to achieve is using C axis as indexer.

This limits your options to drilling holes on given diameter and cutting strait slot along X axis.

It's a mill-turn lathe config.

thank you all, im working on it, will accept when i finish up.

Not sure how deep you can step, but Linux CNC is HIGHLY configurable for many non standard manchines
