I can just insert code in the tool change macro already in Mach 3 for that purpose.Ī generic tool change in code will operate as desired on all machines if the tool change is setup properly to be handled on the machine.īy taking that approach the only reason code can't be more transportable is because they machines really are grossly different in the actual cutting capabilities. Why should I modify the post processor to insert a bunch of stuff to accomodate tool changes or a tool change position on one machine when I can setup Mach 3 to accomodate the tool changes specific to that machine. The machine handles it as appropriate for that machine.Īn M3 SXxxx in code will work properly on all machines in operation if the control for the machine is setup for the machine it controls. Why should I modify my post processor to insert a wait for the Hurco which has the VFD programmed to spin up and spin down the spindle in 4 seconds in the post when I can just tell Mach 3 to wait 4 seconds on a spindle command.
I write good code for all machines using just the standard Mach 3 post in CamBam. Not even remotely similar other than that they are 3 (or 4) axis vertical cutting machines.
Well, the reason is I have currently four (3 in operation) totally different machines.
