nachi sa160-f

[oldcadd]

HI to all the forum,

I am looking for advise on using nachi sa 160 with ar controller for low volume aluminium plate routing I am in  western australia with no support but want to give it a try with robot I purchased one from the usa for my learning   nightmares. I do 3d cad and want to convert to tool paths,  maybe with mastercam or similar any and all advise welcome. From reading the forum I see I Need manuals on these machines if anyone can point me in the right direction as the dealer on our east coast said these must be old and they do not support them and maybe I should buy a new one from him. for $100,000.00 +++++

PS TAKE IT EASY ON ME I OLD BUTT STILL WANT TO LEARN THE WAYS OF THE FORCE.

Hi  to all

I have been all over the forum looking, and my question is does any member know if robotmaster is suitable for a nachi are the files suitable,
 or can one recommend a cam package for patterning aluminium plate to 6mm and high density foam tooling ,I guess you would say I am looking for tool paths .

Thanks
