Thermwood CS40 With Fusion 360

Post by TomStevens618 »

Hey Guys,
I have a Thermwood CS40 that I'm trying to get fusion 360's cam software working on. I don't fully know if it's possible, I've spent the last few months digging though what ever I can find for information on the internet. I'm hoping someone here might have some insight on what I could do to have this work with our machine.

So far I've been able to edit a Post Processor to get it as close as I can to working, and I've attached 2 iteration of the .CPS here. One would do almost everything I need but it seems like I can't adjust the Z shift from cutting at it's maximum height. The other will go to the z coords it needs but will then get a y axis error.

Any help or direction will be appreciated. And if I'm posting this in the wrong forum/area please let me know.

Thank you,
Tom

Not sure if this will help or not but with using Mozaik Post Processor on our CS43 we have to use a negative factor to make the machine calculate right. If it's just the Z axis maybe there is a setting somewhere to adjust the reference point. 0 top of the material or 0 bottom of material.
