    hello guys, so I have a fanuc Robot R-2000iB and I'm trying to make molds and milling parts as a CNC do. The thing is I don't know which software enables you to do that ?

    _Is there a way of converting GCode GCode program into .TP ?

    _does roboguide enable you to do that?

    Thank you in advance.

    I don’t know if roboguide can do that, but robodk (see above) should do the trick.

    Thank you. Learning and working with too softwares would make it a little bit harder to master,do you think I should let go of roboguide and focus on Robodk ?

    If RoboGuide does it, it will probably only do so with a special add-on, which will have to be purchased from Fanuc.

    Robot "CNC" work is inherently 6-axis, which is extremely complex, and as such the software that supports it is both complex and expensive. RoboDK is probably the cheapest. RobotMaster and, I think MasterCAM, will do it, but require specific ($$$) post-processors for the robot that the converted G-Code is to be exported to.

    For a simple 2D or 2.5D G-Code program, it might be possible to write a script (in Python, for example) that would convert the various G0/G1 commands into TP-language points, but setting the Config variables would still need to be done on a case-by-case basis.

    There ist a FANUC option called "NC Program Conversion" (R775) which allows you to load G-code programs into the controller and convert it into TP programs.

    Check the optional functions manual for the R-30iB controller for more information. Maybe this is something you are looking for.

    Is that the QSSR feature? I literally just got a brochure about that from Fanuc this morning.

    QSSR is a feature that enables FANUC CNCs to directly program robots through G-code. It ist not the same as NC Program Conversion.

    Do you have the manual I have mentioned above? If not and in case you are intersted, let me know.

    Same for me. Some people would say it is crazy, but reading manuals is often better than reading a book :grinning_squinting_face:

    Do you want to make 3 axis cnc or 5 axis cnc?

    robot-forum.com/attachment/31150/

    It's just small shot of very complex cell,


    To be honest it's better to master roboguide (even if it is slow etc) because it has been built for fanuc robots. RoboDK for the moment is "all and nothing". Currently, for me it is just a tool for convertion. It has pros and cons. But I'm the opinion that you should go RG first then RDK.

    actually I'm trying to make both 3 axis and 5 axis CNC. What do you mean by a tool of conversion ? Do you get to convert G code into TP and LS format ? And thank you for your time sir I appreciate it 🙏

    actually if this option works for me I would save me a lot of problems. I'm a solidworks CAM user so and I didn't know how to convert NC files into TP. Thank you sir I really appreciate it.

    I'm sorry sir but I couldn't find anything about NC program conversion on the manual ?
