Gcode to Grasshopper Kuka

[Thargonite]

Hi all,

I am still a beginner in Grasshopper, but I was wondering if it is possible to implement a Gcode file in Grasshopper to directly transform it into a KUKA Robot Language code.

Thank you

Hello,

G-Code is a super wide term but KUKA|prc in the member version contains functionality to e.g. load G-Code from 3D printing software or from the CAM module of Fusion 360.
A fully automatic conversion is usually tricky because most G-code is for 3 or 5 axis machines and doesn't contain all the geometric data need for a robot. So we usually add an extra orientation point that defines how the frame of the robot is rotated around the normal of 5-axis G-code, or the Z-axis in the case of 3-axis G-code.

Best,
Johannes

oh ok.. I understand...
Is there any chance of any  tutorial?
Of How to realize it or the logical process to do it?
To be honest, i'm a little lost...
thank you for your patience

Hello,

It really is just a component where you select your G-Code and it outputs KUKA|prc commands.
But you need a full license to use it. Send me an eMail and I can provide you with a temporary license!

Best,
