Comprehensive Support for Post-Processors

There are thousands of customized, industry-proven post-processors (G-code translators—unique for each type of controller) tailored to suit the various programming styles of our users, along with addressing the numerous machine options and control updates from year to year. A robust library is included with your purchase. EZ-CAM supports machines from the early 80s up to the present time. With over 30 years of post-processor development and customization experience, we ensure your G-code files are edit-free.

Adapting to Machine Control Changes

Many don’t realize that post-processors aren’t universally compatible. Every CAD/CAM company must continuously develop custom post-processors to support the many G-code combinations for non-standard control configurations and their capabilities. EZ-CAM has an extensive library constructed over years of exposure to intricate machinery. Most popular machine controls and conditions are already accounted for. Therefore, minimal editing is usually all that is needed, using our baseline post-processors as templates. As a result, many have found an edited post-processor in their inbox an hour after sending their email request.

Building from Scratch

What happens when a post-processor doesn’t exist? If you have invested in a machine that is not on EZ-CAM’s list, we will quickly build a new post-processor to match your machine’s requirements. All we need from you is a proven program, a list of G&M codes with canned cycle examples, and testing at your machine to reach our development goals.

Are you new to EZ-CAM? We want to extend our services and build a post-processor ahead of time so you can experience our true craftsmanship and the speed it takes to create one—without any commitment.

Transparent Pricing and Support

Some competitors charge for each post-processor you need and any required editing. While there may be reasons for this, we believe it shouldn’t be the case with EZ-CAM. We want you to run all your machines edit-free without extra charges. We understand that supporting all your CNC equipment is the primary reason you buy a CAM package.

Selecting the Right Post-Processor for Your Trial

After you select a post-processor, there are ways to confirm it is compatible with your machine. You can use the machine’s graphics, dry run, single block, and set your offsets to a safe zone. These precautions are necessary because sometimes the name of the control isn’t enough information to decide. For example, there are multiple Fanuc post-processors available, each supporting a different configuration. One may output a colon “:” in the program header, while another may use the letter “O.” If the code is slightly off, you cannot cut parts without editing the G-code file. Other signs of an incorrect post-processor include the machine stopping abruptly, encountering errors, triggering alarms, or the G-code file failing to load. EZ-CAM wants to prevent these issues from happening to you. Contact us if you want to save time and get the best use out of your trial period. We have the know-how to point you in the right direction so you can immediately cut your parts

Take It to the Machine

When EZ-CAM provides an edit-free post-processor, you can focus solely on programming without worrying about the G-code. You will:
1. Generate your tool path in EZ-CAM.
2. Select your post-processor.
3. Load the file into the machine via Floppy, USB, Ethernet, PCMCIA card, Network, or RS232 and cut your parts.
Hit cycle start without fear!

Once a post-processor has been dialed in, you will never need any further changes.

Email support@ezcam.com or call: 508-347-3222 and let us know the machine’s name and the control receiving the G-code or conversational files.

Happy programming from the EZ-CAM Team!
