Fanuc 6mb Solidworks CAM Post Processor

Here’s a modified post processor for Solidworks CAM (Camworks) that I use with the Fanuc 6 control on my machine.

What’s changed from the provided Fanuc post:

  • Spaces removed
  • Semicolon end of block character
  • Sequence line numbers removed, except for the very first line
  • Safety block: N1G17G20G40G49G80;
  • Tool change location uses G59 offset (no G53 on this machine), at X0 Z0 Y-10
  • Cutter comp removed (still have tool height offset)
  • Rapids replaced with G01 F101. (Rapid override on my machine is too coarse)
  • Coolant removed

Included in this zip file is the .src file and library files for the universal post generator, as well as the compiled .ctl file used by solidworks.

If you use this, do have a close look at your output files and test carefully – there is always potential for disaster and I won’t be responsible for damage or injury.
