make toolpath for rotary in artcam

[@davedavies3796]

Very good video, Mr. Lui - it was exactly what I need to get me over the block I was having. Thank you Dave

[@LIUXIN]

In Artcam there are some post processors named with "(x->A)" or "(y->A)" you can use that post to generate the g code tool path.

[@davedavies3796]

I'm good, thanks, Mr Baldocchi. C++ is one way - sounds like you're comfortable programming in it. I'm lazier than that, though ;-) - the g-code that Artcam writes is just a text file, so I've just been using "Find & Replace" in Notepad before bringing it into Mach3. Cheers Dave

[@davedavies3796]

Hey Mr. Baldocchi. I don't know how to make the software write A axis data yet, so I'm just using a text editor to do a search and replace of all "G1 Y" to "G1 A" (and any other variation of "Y" statements.)

[@carloseduardobaldocchi2543]

Nice video man! But my Artcam save the file using X and Y cordinates but there is the A axis on my machine. How should i do to save it as A axis?

[@eyuphoca9669]

Thank you for good sharing. I want ask a question. how can i do square profiling?

[@chips1a]

excellent video, this helped me a lot.

[@tonyn9632]

Can you please help me how to write the G-code for X, Z and 4 Axis work as the same time ? Thanks,

[@borispa340]

Hello Mr. Liu, is it possible to work with normal 3 axis CNC machine with an rotary attachment with ArtCAM Express software? Just to change for example Y to rotary. Thanks

[@rodrigos1508]

Good video. It was very clear. I'll try it rigth now.

[@jadvani71165]

sir, one quation, machine output file is foametted for______ ( fill space )?? 3 axis or 4 axis rotery X->A ( *.mmg ) for CNC USB controller

[@LIUXIN]

3 axis tool path is OK

[@jadvani71165]

sir, SECOND quation, machine output file is foametted for model master ?? 3 axis rotery X->A ( *.mmg ) for CNC USB controller is right or wrong ?

[@elwaynetan3695]

Hi, is it possible to use the same technique to engrave text on a curved surface?

[@LIUXIN]

Elwayne Tan yes.

[@davedavies3796]

Ah! Thank you Mr. Liu..., I'll try those. Dave

[@eviltuary]

Hello, Thanks for the video, and how if I already have a 3D model, with unsymetrical design?

[@LIUXIN]

so you'd better use a CAM software which can handle 4 axis work. Powermill or NX

[@avarakkal]

hai sir i make a rotary design in art cam 9 pro. and make tool path model master 3 axis rotary but machine shows x+ error please help me

[@LIUXIN]

so you may set your X limit to maximum when using rotary axis

[@Ahmad_G-AG]

I have 4 axis and the DSP Model B58. How can I make it, Please

[@LIUXIN]

artcam can only deal with 3 axis. you need other software for 4 or more axis. such as powermill, NX, Fusion 360, etc

[@Ahmad_G-AG]

@@LIUXIN Thank You Dear, But I want know what post processor I must use it?

[@marouaneladjel1907]

think you how to engrive on cylindrique plise

[@carlose.baldocchi6212]

Hello man how are you??? Thanks for your answer... i will do a program using C++ to change the Y axis to A axis... thanks very much!

[@JamesHM22]

Thanks, it was useful for me!

[@anlpereira]

Hi Liu, I have one gear that I did in autocad in 3d and I would like to make the toolpath in Artcam to machine it in my 3020 CNC. Please help me with that. Tell me your email that I send it to you. Thank you very much. Is it possible to load the 3d autocad drawings to artcam directly?

[@r.senthilmuthu3469]

Sir program eppadi panrathu sir

[@khalidalkharusi1]

Thank you so much

[@isaackgt]

Thanks, master... :)
