Multicam Apex1R Post Processor Issues

[Gomerpyro]

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?

If the generic posts do not provide the required output, I offer post processor development services and happy to work out a solution for your machine! Please message me if further assistance is needed.

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.
