CADWIND->Xwinder

Posted by Ken Hendrawan on March 13, 2023 at 12:58pm

Hi all,

Has anyone interfaced the winding software CADWIND successfully to the Xwinder? I'm having issues where the g-code that CADWIND exports causes very staggered machine movements and often times is very short. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

    CADWIND will not work with X-Winder. X-Winder uses its own software that is sold with the X-Winder filament winder. Likewise, Other winders will not work with the X-Winder software. If you are trying to create special capabilities with the X-Winder, first use the X-Winder Designer software to create a G-Code file, then edit that G-Code file and read that modified file directly into the X-WInder Executor software which will operate the X-Winder filament winder with the modified G-Code.

      Thanks for letting me know. So then if I wanted to run the g-code CADWIND exports, I'd essentially have to rewrite it in the Xwinder Designer software?

      I'm not sure what you mean Ken, but X-Winder only understands X-Winder G-Code or modifications thereto.

      I was going to basically just copy and paste the g-code CADWIND exports and paste it into the X-winder however I tried that and it still gave the same result. I'll just go ahead and use the Designer software, thank you!

      Hello Mr. Hendrawan. Did you succeed with the use of CADWIND software to create X-winder readable programs? Thank you
