NX CAM Post Processor tips & tricks: Putting Custom Warnings right in your Posts
NX Post processors have capabilities beyond toolpath translation – they can also be used to detect and enforce programming styles. By developing custom warning messages, a user can ensure proper CAM programming.
It can be tempting to put these into a programming template, but by putting the functionality right into the post, the user can more consistently keep programming mistakes from making it to your machine controller.
This video shows off several examples of how a custom post processor warning can be used to prevent machine/part/tool crashes, weed out invalid machine code, and enforce desirable programming styles. All demos were made using NX Post Builder 12.
