We have new Brother machines and new to FeatureCam...so I'm knee deep in a steep learning curve right now.
I'm struggling with Cutter Comp. I don't like to use it and normally don't for the stuff that we do. But my Feature Cam NC outputs have it in there.
The Controller is a Brother C-00....and the post processor that I have is for a Brother TC-31A.
Even if I have "enable cutter comp" unselected in the Featurecam Options-milling screen.....the NC file has a G41.
See the following code:
( ROUGH1 BOSS BOSS2 )
M400
M8
G99 G41 D1 G0 X1.0559 Y-0.3159
Z0.2
G1 Z-0.2 F75.0
X1.0493 Y-0.3124 F150.0
G3 X1.0 Y-0.3 I-0.0493 J-0.0918
....
The coordinates are the left side of the endmill. I really want code written as endmill centerline paths and no comp.
This post processor doesn't insert a G40 anywhere ....so I'm thinking that something is wrong....
Do you know if there is a C-00 post processor?
I have a phone call into the sales guy...and waiting.
thoughts?
