hi everyone
thanks for taking time in advance.
i want to generate a .DAT &.SRC file to 3D laser cutting application with a KR30 HA(KRC4). i tried it with DELMIA but no usefully....
can you tell me what should i do?
is there a way to convert the G-code file to .DAT&.SRC file?
PLZ see the attachment .wish to cut the white contour.

There are software packages you can buy for that -- PowerMill, RobotMaster, Grasshopper/Rhino, KUKA.CNC.
Without one of those... well, you could post-process the G-Code into a sequence of KRL motion commands by hand, using Excel or some Python scripting. Or, similarily, you could convert the list of G-Code motions into a corresponding array of KRL E6POS positions in a .DAT file, then iterate through them using a FOR loop in the .SRC file.
This is probably too cumbersome for complex machining paths, but this one looks simple enough it might be doable. You'll still need to hand-program your entry and exit points in order to guarantee your correct pose configuration, and probably massage your G-Code conversion a bit to get it to work (the corners will definitely be an issue). This is a crude solution, but possible.
Of course, generating any OLP depends entirely on having excellent Base and Tool configurations that match between the CAD/Simulation environment and the real-world environment.

perfect answer
thanks a lot.
you mentioned Power mill. you mean that it has a post-processor to convert the G- code into the .DAT file? in my point of view ,Power mill can only creates the G-code program. -
Powermill can generate SRC and DAT file with the right postprocessor.
You can google Powermill Robot Interface - it is made to work with robots.The version 10 of Sprutcam will support laser cutting and welding - and it is a lot cheaper package!

Dear vvelikov
thanks a lot, i have worked with powermill and very nice to hear its ability .
best to luck
