She opened GibbsCAM’s editor. The screen went dark, replaced by a cascade of logic. The .pst file wasn’t just a lookup table; it was a script. A raw, unforgiving logic engine written in a proprietary language that looked like a lovechild of C and assembly.
Consider a B-axis head on a mill-turn machine. The machine can rotate the head, but if the programmer tilts the head to 90 degrees without accounting for the offset, the tool will crash into the workpiece. A smart Post Processor handles this math automatically. It calculates the pivot distance, adjusts the coordinates, and outputs the correct values so the tip of the tool stays exactly where the programmer intended.
Consider these real-world consequences of post processor errors:
One of the first questions users ask is: Should I use a stock post processor provided by GibbsCAM or pay for a custom one?
At the start of the program (in N_START ), add:
