generic Techno CNC post

generic Techno CNC post

We are working on a generic Techno CNC post processor and we would be happy to get some feedback from you before we put it into the library.

 

I add 3 properties for 3 variants of output for HD machine without Toolchanger, HD2 with Toolchanger and HDS with Toolchanger machine.

Please test all 3 variants and let me know if i can improve something.

 

Please feel free to download and test it:

Hello

I am using a TechnoCNC Venture Series and the post processor seems to output a "generic" g-code file, not one that follows the specified format from TechnoCNC. I have tried all three of the user defined machines in the post and have had no success. I've posted the format TechnoCNC sent me below. If you could modify the post processor to reflect these changes I would appreciate it.

Thank you

 

HDS G CODE FORMAT
- IJ arcs must use ABSOLUTE coordinates.
- Alternately, R arcs may be used.
- G and M commands must be 1 per line.
- Must have a delay after every ‘spindle on’ command (DLY,5).
- Must have a user offset defined (UAO,1), (UAO,2)…
- G27 after every tool change to ensure continuous motion.
- Header should look like this:
o G70  defines units as inches
o G90  absolute coordinates
o G40  disables cutter comp
o G80  disables fixed cycles
o G17  arcs in XY plane
o G27  cont. operation w/ speed reduction on corners
o M143  lowers pop-up pins
o M49  lowers dust shroud
o G600  calls up cut parameter settings
o (UAO,1)  calls up user offset
- Footer should look like this:
o M5  spindle off
o M48  raises dust shroud
o G79 Z0  raises Z axis to home position (optional)
o M30  ends program

Hello @cjbehling,

 

thank you for feedback.

I'm on vacation next week will be updated it the week after.

Looking for more feedback for this post processor. Make sure that you are using the latest version from the library since there have been a couple of updates for that post.

I'm an industrial technology teacher who's been using HSM since its release with a Techno CNC and other machines. Since updating to 2019 this fall, our .nc files have the machine making tons of circles. In most cases the actual tool paths that we want still exist, and you can sort of see them. 

We changed the setting to- Using IJK's to NO, and use Radial Arcs to YES. This solved some issues, but also created a few- With those setting not all of our paths are previewed as intended.

Hello. I am currently trying to use Fusion 360 to output to the Techno LC series on our college campus. I am having a similar issue to the images above. I can get the file to display somewhat correct but there are no arcs present.

I'm sorry I hadn't responded to this post. In case you have not figured out your issue- Changing the machine type in our post processor cured our issues. It defaulted as HDS series, and I from what I remember we changed the machine type to HD Series for our LC Series 4896.

@Anonymous how did you change the machine type in the post processor?

Forgive me because I'm not near my desktop computer that has Inventor
installed.

But- When you are in the post processor window that has your different
"posts" there is a window in the bottom right corner. This window has a
bunch of options, allow helical entries, use IJK, use radial arcs, a bunch
of other options. One of them will be something like "machine type". The
default is HDS series, and we changed ours to HD series. That fixed all of
our issues.

I'll be back at work tomorrow and can take a screenshot if you still need
it.

Oh my, my bad actually. I read the entire post wrong and realized this was for the HD series routers, the one I work with is a LC one. Been trying to figure out the post for this machine (it won't do helixes and 3d movements properly but the machine can move all 3 axes at once) but can't seem to find out where to get the exact post for my machine. (Currently using the generic RS-274)

I am having the same issues as above has anyone made and progress on this? I am using a Techno LC plus. I also get the preview with the added circles and arcs

We just bought a Techno CNC Titan series. Does anyone here know if this post would work for us? Thanks!
