Hey Marty!

 

Tryin' to get rid of that darn map, I see? We use very little paperwork over here. Then again, we're set up different than you guys are. We program it, then run our own stuff. That way, we know what's going on and know what to expect.

 

The tlist.dll chook alone will only print out a tool list. This is a nice feature, but you'll still need to print out a brief description of each program for the operator. It would be nice if you could combine the 2 things into one easy to generate printing. Good luck!

hi Thad

 

yea that's what i'm trying to do. i want to have

a space in the setup sheet for a little comment.

it depends on what day of the week it is,will the operator go by the map or look at the program.

they don't want to do anything now but push

the button.well talk to ya later.

Marty, you may want to touch base with Millman or Rekd on what your after. the tooldatasheet I am working on isnt bad if all else fails. you can always add to it with instructions. I no they have some good setup sheets tho. maybe check the ftp site to see whats been posted there. I'll keep you updated with what I come up with

the FTP site, i never would have thought of

that. thanks again for all the help. one hour

to go ,then it's fishing time.have a good weekend

MayDay, you can add your own logo to the setup sheet. You only need to copy your logo as logo.gif to your mastercam folder.

You can also edit the dropdown fields in the setup dialog.

 

[romer]

Some very neat sheets.

 

After reading through the thread I'm still confused, did anybody convert the ncdatasheet.dll to english?

If so, can they post it to the ftp or perhaps point me to where it can be obtained? (in english)

 

Thanks all,

Romer

Hi

Yes I was wondering that as well?

Ok, I've tried to translate it.

 

If anyone want to test it, get it here.

 

Please report any mistake here.

[F. JAVIER]

(In rafiki's voice) CORRRECTION!!! the ncdatasheet is in english, you can without a lot of effort get what you need and for an additional fee it can be customized to your own needs.

Thanks Gismo

 

[Don S at Barefoot CNC South]

Gismo,

It is in english but won't generate any tool data?

[mayday]

Don, it only generates what toolpaths you have checked in the opp manager. from 1 opp to all opps can be output, also note: if you output to an HTML you can edit it by going to view in the menu. select source code and it comes up in notepad. make any changes and then save. it then goes back to the HTML view. just hit refresh and your edits are done

great job Gismo, I was on the path to do this but you beat me to it. Thanks

[KEVCAM]

Gismo,

 

I tried dowloading those two different zip files. The first one come in with greek language. With the second one, nothing happens.

 

I unzipped them into my Mcam9 main directory and then moved the dll. files in with c-hook folder.

 

Is there a way i can make them work.

 

[crazy^millman]

Hey Gismo Crazy Millman here. This will not work with Tranform toolpaths that have posting off. Is it suppose to be that way?

[Bruce Caulley]

Do I need a separate programme to re-configure this sheet? The settings available do not suit the way we do things here although it is still a great way to get some quick data for the tool setters.

 

Bruce

[Günther Massimo - GMCCS]

Does anybody has the same problems like KEVCAM?

 

@Ron Branch

"Is it supposed to be that way?" Yes. Only valid operations.

 

@BC10146

What parameters are you missing?

You can also use a EXCEL Template. The template should be copied into your chooks folder as "ncdatasheet.xlt".

[Bruce Caulley]

Gismo,

We use a separate operation group and programme for each tool. These are then called as subs from a main programme. This way an engineering change request or a tooling change will not result in a job needing to be re-proven. What I would like if I could do it is to have something like this:

 

1010 63mm face mill length diameter tool#

1020 16mm rmr length diameter tool#

1030 6mm spot drill length diameter tool#

 

I haven't had a lot of time to investigate this because our format may change shortly. Will the datasheet use the template if it is in the same folder?

 

Thanks,

Bruce

[Günther Massimo - GMCCS]

@BC10146

If you need only tool information then you can use "tlist.dll". All the parameters you've mentioned are available. Other parameters can be hided. I can translate it, if you like.

What are the numbers 1010, 1020 and 1030?

[Bruce Caulley]

Gismo,

Sorry, those are the programme numbers. I can get the NCI name from the first operation in each operation group with VB(I think), but I don;t want the whole path.

 

I have uploaded brucesetupsheet.pdf into the unspecified uploads folder. This is a good sheet but we do it manually in our company database. Ther is also brucesetupsheet.bmp which is a screen shot of the operations manager for this group of programmes. Each operations group is a separate programme. This setupsheet is time consuming and open to human error. The operator at the machine will create a main programme that calls each tool as a subprogramme.

 

We may also use the one tool 2 or 3 times within an operation so tool list wont give us a breakdown of all the sub programmes. ie if I use a spot drill then a drill and then the same spot drill again I only get the spot drill and the drill once each in the tool list.

 

Ideally the programme # field in the tool parameters window could be accessed with VB but I have been told that this is not available.

 

Bruce
