Looking for a post processor for an AXYZ 4010

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forums and to HSMWorks.  Recently, the company I work for purchased an AXYZ 4010 CNC router and they gave me the task to test out the new machine and find the best option to generate the g code.  It did come with its own software (VCarve Pro 8.0), however I have to first generate a DXF drawing, then import it into VCarve Pro and then specify the operations.  This is why we chose to try HSMXpress, as it permitted us to generate the code all within SolidWorks and to eventually automate the whole process. 

My problem is that there isn't an AXYZ post processor in HSMXpress.  I located the post processor used by VCarve Pro and added it to the "posts" folder of HSMXpress but it always fails to generate anything.  I've attached the AXYZ 4010 post processor that VCarve Pro uses.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Anthony

I think the anilam conversational post should be pretty close to working for you.

Hey Scott, this is amazing. Thanks for providing it. We are trying to get Fusion360 CAM running on our AXYZ 4008 router from 1998 (this is pre A2MC, I believe). Your post seems to work but we haven't run anything with it so far. I'm wondering if you have any insights on whether you would expect it to work, any issues we should be on the lookout for, on generally anything we should be looking into to verify this. I will shoot you a DM as well. Thanks!

hi i am new to axyz routers an i was wondering what is the best process from auto cad / proge cad to the axyc cnc router/ is it easier to produce drawing in cad insteads of the software provided by axyz ?

Many CNC router users switch from the machine’s CAM software to Fusion because it offers more features, comes at a great price, and has well-developed post processors. You can try Fusion for free with the full version for 30 days 🙂
