Is there a Fusion 360 post processor available for an Anilam 3200 MK conversational 2-axis controller?

[Anonymous]

The Anilam conversational post processor in the Fusion 360 library is for a 3-axis machine and creates lots of z related commands that cause problems trying to run the code on my machine (Bridgeport mill with x and y servos). Any help would be appreciated, kind of a newbie to using CAM software, learning as I go.

Hello cekalskinator

That post has a variable in it called "gotZAxis". You can try setting this to false and it should remove the Z axis output.

Thank you for the quick reply Bill! I tried that and get the following errors shown below. Fyi, I am post processing Setup1 T1 Face Top in the sample part used in the Fusion 360 Creating Toolpaths and Programs video.

Hello cekalskinator

It's checking for Arcs that are not in the XY plane. You probably have some vertical arcs set in your lead in/out. Look for any Vertical Arcs and remove them and you should be good.

Thank you Bill for the fix. I set the all vertical lead-in radius to zero and it solved the issue.
