How to load CAM programs one by one on Fusion 360

#1
As shown in the attached image, I am creating three different machining patterns with one end mill. Is it possible to import these machining patterns into RoboDK as individual apts rather than as one apt?

Currently, I would like to create robot machining programs one by one to check the test operation.

Is there a setting item in the RoboDK plug-in to solve this problem? Or do I need to suppress the machining patterns in Fusion and load the CAM data one by one?

Hi.

I would also like to have that option in RoboDK when transferring my CAM program from Fusion360 to RoboDK.

What I have done is created three separate versions of the same CAM program in Fusion360, where only one of the CAM operations is active at a time, and then transferred the CAM data one by one to RoboDK. This is a somewhat workable solution, but not an optimal one.

Best regards

You can change the following setting to create one robot machining operation in RoboDK for each machining operation in Fusion 360:
  1. Select Tools-Options
  2. Select the CAM tab
  3. Check the option: Automatically create one machining operation per program
  4. Check the option: Automatically create one machining operation per tool

Albert, sorry for the late reply.
The method you taught me got the results I intended.
Thanks.

Perfect, thank you for your feedback.

Sorry for bothering you so often.

I just noticed that when I loaded the CAM data using the method you instructed, the second and third machining speeds were both imported as 1000mm/s, not the 47.8mm/s (2865mm/min) set in Fusion.
After looking into it, it seems to be the FAST MOVE SPEED value in the program event in the attached image. When I changed this value and output the robot program, it also had the same changed value.
In the Fusion settings, three types of CAM data are created using one tool and the same machining conditions (pocket, contour, flat).

How should I deal with this?

You can customize the fast move speed of your robot machining projects by following these steps:
  1. Double click on your robot machining project in RoboDK
  2. Select Program events
  3. Set the fast move speed
You can also change this setting for all new robot machining projects by selecting:
  1. Tools-Options
  2. Select the CAM tab
  3. Click on Program events

Sorry, my explanation was insufficient.

The result I want to achieve with RoboDK is that the cutting conditions set in
Fusion CAM are inherited by RoboDK as they are.

With the current plug-in method, the workpiece is approached and cut at a
high moving speed, which is completely different from the intention of the
CAM data created in Fusion.

In cutting processing, if the cutting speed when approaching the workpiece is not
appropriate, the cutting tool will break and the workpiece will be damaged. Even if
the same cutting tool is used, depending on the processing method, it is necessary to
continue using the cutting conditions or set them differently, and this is also set in Fusion.


I also tested it, and the results are as shown in the attached excel.
If you use the same tool and set different processing methods with the same cutting conditions (feed rate), the feed rate seems to be overwritten with the high moving speed when importing RoboDK.

If you set different processing methods with the same tool and different cutting
conditions (feed rate), the feed rate between RoboDK and Fusion becomes the same.
I'm sorry, but could you please investigate this?

Can you provide us with your Fusion project and the RoboDK project files? We can better investigate this issue.

I get an error like the one in the attached image, how should I deal with it?The file size is almost 30MB.I've seen similar errors in other threads, so this might be the cause.
