1 后置处理器的作用
负责将刀路轨迹(ctl文件)转换成机床代码。不同的机床控制器可能会有不同的格式,但基本上差不多,也有万用后置处理器。优化过的专用后置处理器可以输出更好的G代码供机床使用,后置处理器是CAM重要的一环。
2 UPG-Universal Post Generator 通用后置处理器生成器
"下载地址:https://camworks.com/universal-post-generator/"
UPG是camworks提供的图形化工具,用来快速定制我们机床上专用的后置处理器,以便生成基本或者负责的G代码。
3 UPG 特性
The UPG allows you to customize: 允许特殊定制的部分
The CNC Code (G-code) that is generated when a part is post processed in SOLIDWORKS CAM® or CAMWorks® camworks //刀轨后置处理所生成的导轨
Parameters on the Posting tab in the Machining Parameters dialog box
Features //加工参数界面的参数
Pre-defined defaults for common types of CNC Controls to minimize the configuration necessary //
Similar controls can be configured using a copy of a customized template
Easily set up the sequence of events for functions such as start and end of tape, tool changes, rapid motions, linear motions, circular motions, canned cycles, etc.
Quickly compile, debug and test the CNC code (G-code)
