High Feed Machining

Rick,

 

What is this Bug?

 

Thanks

[Rick McAllister]

I was doing some G testing on the machine and I noticed if I had Highfeed set to Rough and Finish it would not be applied to the path. Also when I had just Finish on and cutter comp set to Wear, it would loop around some of the points in the path and basically trash the part. Watch your Backplot and double check paths and feedrates.

Rick,

 

As I understand, Ccomp should not be used?

So far doing 3-D I havent had any problems. Havent tried it on 2-D yet.

Michael,

I was testing on a pocket with several differant radii an diferant line lengths. I wanted to get a feel for how it was going to break the paths and see how much the decel feed rates were going to be. I turned CC on so I could run the same path in the same test piece several times, all I had to do was comp the tool out a liitle bit to recut the material. Thats when I noticed the bad path. Try making some test geometry and seeing what it does for you. We have V9.0 SP2 Level 3.

I have also found this to be true but as I understand Ccomp is not supported which is why you may be having the problems ?

 

I do agree with you. Comp "wear" should work as the path is the same as computer. This is why you may have been able to log this. It would be Cool! if it would work with wear. I would use it much more often. I will make inquiry.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

HFAPP_V8.DOC from the v8 Chooks folder is the only one I know of. I don't believe a v9 version exists yet.

The V8 version is on Cadcams FTP site under Apps_files.
