We have a 1982 Yuasa Accumill equipped with a Fanuc 3M control. Being that this control is this vintage, there are several modern g-code standards that the control does not recognize (G54, notes, etc.) I have successfully programmed this machine manually but we want to use CAD/CAM with it. I have been experimenting with CAMBAM as the software is much easier for me to wrap my head around than F360, and it's more intuitive when it comes to making the post processor. I would like to start with making simple 2D tool paths on the XY-plane and move on from there. I have been drawing some simple shapes and checking the output g-code to examine any errors. So far these are the errors with our post processor:
-G 92 offset still not set up(cannot use G54)
-Control does not recognize something in the line “G20 G90 G64 G40“
-The code for arcs (G02/G03) does not format correctly, using i and j codes instead of r/radius value.
-Program ends with M30 causing the machine to go into a loop instead of ending the program
-Z axis outputs in wrong direction (machine reads tool advance towards table as negative, CamBam outputs it as positive.
Any insight on this issue/issues is much appreciated.
