Does anyone know how to hook up a Gerber 408 Sabre Router to Aspire Software. We currently own this machine and are purchasing a Presix router and we would like both types of routers to understand the Vectric's Software.
Any information would be very helpful.
Thanks

Hi,
I have replied to you PM
For reference, we do not officially support driving the Gerber routers
because they run a 'closed proprietary' CNC control system.
Some customers have managed to successfully run new Gerber
Sabre routers using GCode, but we cannot guarantee that this
will work.

Hi Tony
Any idea what post processor is being used in this manner?

Re: Software Capability Question
I believe it's the default GCode postp, but have no experience
of running these machines.
I would suggest contacting the Gerber distributor because there
is a requirement for additional DNC / Spooling software that they
may be able to assist with.

Re: Software Capability Question
I had the same problem years ago with a Gerber AR400. I converted them to Gcode machines that worked off Mach3.

Tony:
Gerber suggests Windows Hyper terminal to transfer the files.
I checked the standard G code post. I need something where the first and last line is just a %. Is there one like this?
Dclifton2: Did you change the control or just set to to g code and run Mach3 posts?
