5 axis toolpath trouble

[tony1001]

I have some surfaces that I am working with and I can't get a good cut pattern. I attached a file of what I have done with the Unified toolpath. If use Guide, I get weird dips along the edges of the cut. With Morph, it cuts through and behind the surfaces. I thought checking the box "round corners" would help and tried different values, but then it looked even worse. I have been messing with this for a while today, but could use some help with it.

 

Thanks,

Haven't got a lot of time to play, but if you turn on some collision control you will stop the cutter trying to cut through the surfaces.

Also looks like a crappy surface to program from !!

[So not a Guru]

Try changing the Projection direction in "Guide Curve-Advanced Parameters" to Machining direction, and change the "Tool Axis Control" to Tilt angle from axis towards point.

Those Makinos like lots of points. If you have any tilt at all, consider dropping your Max Angle Step on the TAC page from 3 degrees to 0.1-0.5 degrees.

Thank you guys for the help. I did try some of your suggestions and I got a toolpath that I was happy with that ran good in the machine.
