If you can decipher G-code....then you can edit your CNC instructions.
Just change the feed rate! You can open in Notepad and edit....save as text file...then delete the .txt at end of file name so it goes back to regular CNC type file.
Browse in your PLC computer and you will see the CNC instructions. P20001 P10001 etc..
Open with Notepad and check it out. Google things! LOL
Tell me about your spindle RPM for roughing on the KaVo strategy. I have been going down to nearly 12000RPMs with 3mm roughing. Crazy low RPMs IMO. But, what do I know?
Look on C: drive...and I think the KaVo folder. I'm at home in underware drinking coffee...be at work soon.
The KaVo style CNC folder format is very odd. SUM3D used special custom post-processor to spit out the CNC instructions in that same format. Very unique to KaVo only. DelCam solution is to rip apart the mill and swap out encoders to match their software. Very un-necessary. They should have tried harder and gone a step further to avoid such drastic changes. SUM3D is much less envasive and you can still use OEM KaVo software.
IMO, DelCam took the easy road, but more time and $$ for customer.
