I don't understand the description of the way the axes work in the OP and on this page there are several varieties of 5 axis systems. I know nothing about Mach 3 and while I am extremely interested in 5 axis machining,until I can find a legal 5 axis CAM system at a modest price I won't be going there.I do know that LinuxCNC can cope with up to 9 axes and it costs nothing you can read a little about it here.

NEWBIE NEED HELP HOW TO CONFIG 5 AXIS HEAD HEAD B/C MACH 3.

need help on 5 axis post fanuc 31i head head C B.Build double head laser with motorized x axis on each head.camworks 5 axis post ( head, head) for mach 3 src.Also, I have a small lathe that I create my own gcodes with the Excel.ĭoes anyone, please, can give me a hint were to go next? I have some experience: I’ve been using CamBam for more than 5 years for 3 axis and another program for 4 axis. I tried this post processor with Mastercam, but this program it’s so hard to use that I had to quit – looking in the www, I’m not the only one who ran from it. In my last try I had a modified (did my self) - Generic Fanuc 5X Router 1.pst – that could work with mach3. My goal is to cut 3d surface in foam for molding - thing that I do with pretty easy with Cambam in 3 axis machine.

In every one I wasn’t able to create the gcode for some reason (post processor, feature not available, complex difficulties, etc). I’ve tried already: Solidcam, Sprutcam and for the last MasterCam 2017. It became a nightmare!Ībout the machine: Mach3 with 6 axis screen plugin (Axis: X, Y, Z, B and C). Please…įor the last 6 months I've been trying to generate gcode for my 5 axis CNC (head/head B&C axis on the head) and I couldn't do it. Not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I need help on the issue below.
