make toolpath for rotary in artcam

For normal 3 axis cnc machine with a rotary attachment.
The toolpath is the same as you do for flat 2D work.
Just need to change x (or Y for some machines) to rotary. Change the working size and pulse equivalent accordingly.
Pay attention to the model size in ArtCAM. And the max cutting thickness shouldn't be larger than radius length of your column material.

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

[@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

[@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]

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.)

[@chips1a]

excellent video, this helped me a lot.

[@davedavies3796]

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

[@rodrigos1508]

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

[@eyuphoca9669]

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

[@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?

[@JamesHM22]

Thanks, it was useful for me!

[@tonyn9632]

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

[@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!

[@khalidalkharusi1]

Thank you so much

[@ayaditaieb2459]

Thanks

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

[@saeedalali9551]

thanks my dear

[@isaackgt]

Thanks, master... :)

[@marouaneladjel1907]

think you how to engrive on cylindrique plise

[@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

[@elwaynetan3695]

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

[@LIUXIN]

Elwayne Tan yes.

[@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 ?

[@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_Graphic-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_Graphic-AG]

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

[@r.senthilmuthu3469]

Sir program eppadi panrathu sir

[@MIntanMemoriyanto]

Thank you for sharing, xie xie :)

[@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?
