Producing machine specific post processors. Windows-style template that guides users through the process of Wizard to generate code for the machine controls.

Mr Kowal uses the post processors he made with EdgeCAM's Code How important is post processing? An error as small as a missing Processor will create virtually flawless G-codes, requiring little or noĮditing, and eliminating the possibility for human error, according to Bill Gibbs, Gibbs and Associates, Moorpark, CA. A post processor is a part of aĬAM or NC programming system that takes the toolpath graphics andĬreates actual G-codes required by most CNC machines.

In one example, Messrs Zarytsky and Kowal estimate that receiving aĭrawing electronically and importing it into EdgeCAM saves between fourĪnd five hours of design and setup time over drawing the part by hand. System's environment and save them as EdgeCAM files. Kowal can open the electronically transferred drawings within the CAM Because of that, Orbit's CNC Manager, Brian Loaders that accept files from several leading CAD systems, as well as Just download them into EdgeCAM and go from there," Mr ZarytskyĮdgeCAM, from Pathtrace Systems Inc, Ontario, CA, has direct file More and more, customers tend to e-mail us the prints. We either import drawings sent by customers, or we draw them Parts," says George Zarytsky, Orbit president. "We usually have as many as 100 active orders inhouse forĮverything from little pins, to complicated hydraulic blocks, toīrackets and bearing retainers, a variety of both milled and turned Printing press, industrial spraypainting, and hydraulic industries.
