Before cutting metal, execute a dry run of the generated G-code.
The post processor utility reads this neutral file and applies specific machine kinematics, formatting rules, syntax requirements, and M-codes.
If your controller alarms out during circular interpolation, toggle the post processor settings between absolute and incremental arc center parameters (I, J, K vectors vs. R-values).
: Beyond basic translation, advanced post processors can optimize the code for high-speed machining (HSM). This includes managing look-ahead settings and smoothing out 5-axis transitions to prevent "shuddering" or surface finish issues. Sourcing and Customization
