How to Download and Use a Post-Processor for FANUC 18i-MB




A post-processor is a software that converts the toolpaths generated by a CAM software into machine-specific code that can be executed by a CNC controller. Different CNC machines may have different controllers and require different post-processors. In this article, we will show you how to download and use a post-processor for FANUC 18i-MB, which is a popular controller for 3-axis milling machines.


Step 1: Find a suitable post-processor




There are many sources where you can find post-processors for FANUC 18i-MB, such as:

  • The official website of MecSoft Corporation, which offers free CAD/CAM post-processor downloads for various controllers, including FANUC 18i-MB[^1^]. You can choose from different formats, such as APT CLS, GCode, or IJK.



  • The Autodesk Community forum, where you can ask for help from other HSM users or experts who may have experience with FANUC 18i-MB[^2^]. You can also search for existing topics or posts that may have the post-processor you need.



  • The Autodesk CAM website, where you can browse and download hundreds of post-processors for different machines and controllers[^3^]. You can filter by machine type, controller name, or manufacturer name.



Step 2: Download and install the post-processor




Once you have found a suitable post-processor for FANUC 18i-MB, you need to download it and install it in your CAM software. The installation process may vary depending on the CAM software you use, but generally it involves the following steps:


  • Download the post-processor file (usually a .spm or .cps file) and save it in a folder on your computer.



  • Open your CAM software and go to the Post Process dialog box.



  • Click on the Browse button and locate the folder where you saved the post-processor file.



  • Select the post-processor file and click on Open.



  • The post-processor name should appear in the Post Configuration drop-down list. Select it and click on OK.



Step 3: Post-process your toolpaths




After installing the post-processor for FANUC 18i-MB, you can use it to post-process your toolpaths and generate machine-specific code. To do this, follow these steps:


  • Select the toolpaths you want to post-process in your CAM software.



  • Go to the Post Process dialog box and make sure the correct post-processor is selected in the Post Configuration drop-down list.



  • Click on the Post button and choose a location and a name for the output file (usually a .nc or .tap file).



  • The CAM software will generate the code and save it in the output file. You can preview the code in a text editor or a simulation software.



  • Transfer the output file to your CNC machine via USB, network, or other methods.



  • Load the output file in your CNC controller and run it.



Conclusion




In this article, we have shown you how to download and use a post-processor for FANUC 18i-MB. A post-processor is an essential component of any CAM software that allows you to convert your toolpaths into machine-specific code that can be executed by your CNC controller. By following these steps, you can find, install, and use a suitable post-processor for FANUC 18i-MB and produce accurate and efficient code for your 3-axis milling machine. 0efd9a6b88
