Multicam Apex1R Post Processor Issues

I am having am issue with the Post Processor for Fusion 360 for a Multicam Apex1R Router.  A very simple contour with a radius lead in will result in a pecking cycle instead of the curved entry.  Additionally, the "peck" will go deeper than the final contour cut.  Has anyone seen this behavior or have an improved post processor?

Hello @Gomerpyro ,

 

are you using the MultiCAM ISO post from the library ?
To be honest, I don't have any direct experience with this controller.

Since you are discribing issues with arcs, you could try modifying the circular configuration in your post.
I would suggest you to modify the 'allowedCircularPlanes' command. You could try to define to '1' as shown below:

it means that only arcs on XY plane are allowed.
Please test it carefully and let me know. Thanks.

I had the same thought - I am using the ISO post from the library.  I believe it would be the XZ or YZ planes as well as the XY planes.  I will do some testing to see if that helps out.  The main quirk with this controller is that I believe the Z axis is inverted.  (+ vs. -) from most machines.

Hello @Gomerpyro ,

 

the current MultiCam ISO post already has the Z axis inverted.

This is the current configuration:

you could remove the minus sign:

If you want to try this, I would suggest that you to disable all arcs:

Since this configuration handles the Z axis direction, please test it carefully if you wish to do so.


Thanks.
