MachSim, CAMplete, Vericut // Cimco Probing, Productivity+
ikertx0 replied to ikertx0's topic in Industrial Forum
I keep thinking about vericut, and I have a question. Is the price for the software or is it limited to one machine? I mean if I have 7 5x machines, does the price stay the same or does it increase? -

I got this same alert as well. In an Edge browser on a PC, I was not able to access any page of eMC. From my Android phone, using Chrome I was able to access the front page, but got the banned notice when I tried to access the forum. I'm so proud. It's my very first ban,

Hmmmm...."integral spindle"....having been very badly bitten 20+ years ago with Hitachi machines, which all had integral spindles, when they need a rebuild it is mega-expensive. I really don't think you can beat a direct drive spindle with coupling - thinking Robodrill, Matsuura's, even my 15k rpm Feeler machines had that. Really simple and IMHO, technically far superior to keep the motor (many KW = heat) well away from the spindle bearings....

I don't click links I don't recognize for safety reasons so I'm not sure what's there, but I can tell you there's no ban or restrictions on your account as far as I can tell. Sometimes our anti-bot system will put the brakes on someone trying to access the site if it's noticed a lot of unusual traffic and that can occasionally catch innocent, real users. Sometimes even I'm forced to watch a loading screen. If you can post a screenshot here of what kind of message you're seeing that indicates you're banned I can take a look

I try to enter emastercam and I always end up with the same notice https://ibb.co/KLnT6Np any admin?

Last place I worked at had a KF5600 with the mold package. It's a pretty well built machine from what I remember. The integral spindle was super nice as well.

iso code sample for Heidenhain 530 control

Try reaching out to @mkd he was working with Heidenhain controls I think. -

I was thinking out loud, with not a lot of thinking! Wondering if the pdf is similar in construction, to a DXF - which is a text file containing all the data geometry. Because I know there is the "measurement" command within a 3D pdf, so you can measure distances etc. So I guess....the geometry within the file has to be "accurate"? But as the pdf is lots smaller than wireframe or model file, it can only be stripped out or compressed
-
I've been spoiled for quite a while now, and my modeling skills have suffered for it due to lack of practice. We have a Catia guy whose job is to validate customers models and prints. Then he modifies the models to nominal dimensions. This means I've been doing very little serious modeling. What modeling I do, is mostly building surfaces for toolpaths if needed.
-
Yeah that could be possible,.. Most of the time the CAD models that are given to me aren't nominal anyways,.. a 1.000 +.002/-.000 is usually modeled at 1.000 (those sort of things) but generally speaking locational tolerances are good. If I'm drawing in mastercam I feel like it's way easier for me to just misinterpret the drawing or fat finger a location/size (and I am definitely no GD&T expert) I know I definitely wouldn't trust it haha!

Anyone have any experience with Hyundai WIA machine tools, good and bad ? specifically the XF6300 and XF2000i
-
I wonder if this is anything to do with liability of data - "print is master"? They (Customer) may have been previously burnt by "designer" modelling inaccurate and machine shop making to model and it doesn't meet print....There was a TONNE (note metrico - larger than imperial :lol:) of this going on where "designers" didn't understand or couldn't comprehend the need for accuracy, or just didn't care. How accurate is pdf to cad - does that take the dimension to drive wireframe? Or pdf3d to model - again does this take the actual dims (unsure how smart a pdf is - prolly not?)

Does MCAM allow parametric drawings/models?
cncappsjames replied to Tinger's topic in Industrial Forum
A LOT of years I did ALL my CAD in Mastercam. It's VERY good at the part level for CAD... minus not being parametric. However, there came a point around 2006 or so IIRC where it became just too much because certain projects I was working on were changing too frequently so then I got into CATIA. Around 2015/2016-ish I migrated to Autodesk Inventor for nearly all my CAD needs. From time to time, I will draw a part in Mastercam... because I can , and sometimes certain features that I cannot figure out how to build in Inventor, I'll build in Mastercam... again... because I CAN. You could drive CAD from a spreadsheet. I was awesome. I did a BUNCH of lathe family of parts projects with it. I was REALLY sad they abandoned it. I KNEW it would be hard though. -
Possibly flowline is a better option but without a file to look at it is just a guess.

C-axis Face contour won't work with y axis

May want to use reverse wear comp. -
Parametric is wonderful....
-
I have tried to push for it,.. but we are not. New "big" customer, they want a small family of parts, supposedly around half a mil per year of work so we are doing it on the house. Makes no sense to me but I'm just a measly paid-by-the-hour programmer.

Aaron Eberhard replied to Tinger's topic in Industrial Forum
Right, which is I don't consider the wireframe stuff as parametric
