Calling all 5 axis guru's...I need help with my first 5ax profile (on FTP)

[MetalFlake]

I finally get to do a 5 axis profile. I think I could figure it out on my own but I thought I'd ask for some help from someone who does this stuff all the time. It's a simple 5axis profile along 8 walls that are about 1" or so tall with .12rads on the floors and .265rad corners.

 

If someone could just do what they normally would with it and then save it back to the FTP it would really help me get off to a good start.

 

The file is FIRST5AX.MC9 and its in the MC9 folder.

 

BTW: The part is a aerospace app. Aluminum. I'd say more but....

 

Many thanks!!!

Check your e-mail

Wow that was quick James!

 

I'm at work. Could you please email [email protected]

 

I dont have a very big email buffer...I dont think a 2.5mb file will make it. I'll see it at home though!

 

Thanks!!!

Zip it first and it'll go down to less than a meg.

These walls appear to be vertical. Are you trying to profile the top of the wall?

[MetalFlake]

Not vertcal but close and they are of a swarf type of profile. The outter walls along one length are kicked over and there are 2 walls well inside the periphery that I'd like to swarf cut as well. The top of the part is planar. Shade the model and do a Analyze-Dynamic and click a wall and note the direction vector will vary.

 

Thanks for the reply!!

Hi James! Good weekend? I sent it to you from my home email but it wasn't zipped. I'm zipping now and it will be off directly.

 

Thanks!!
