dyapath 20

[heeler]

We just aquired an older tree mill with a dyapath 20. Does anyone know if there one of the standard post that come with MCAM that works fairly well for this control or one that they would be willing to share with me.

 

Thanks

Yeah, it appears that mpdypth.pst comes with Mastercam and it is made for Dynapath. Like I said version 7 included one, it ran in generic form with no edits needed. Hopefully this version will work for you the same. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions but be forewarned...

 

I haven't even had power to our Tree/Dynapath in about 4 years now so I am not sure how much I will remember. HA HA

I looked at that one, but it doesn't post a Spindle speed, which I think I would need. Unless there is something else that I need to do.

 

Still learning

PS Are you laughing at us, or with us. I couldn't believe it when they brought this NEW mill for us to use. I'm sure its pretty old.

Yeah i run the post from the cd on a dynapath 40 daily. works good. I made a few changes to get the toolchange sequence right because its a power drawbar only. Post can be easily modified to output a spindle speed.

Heeler,

 

Do a search on the board - "dynapath" -

 

might be surprised what all you find

 

What model machine? If you have some specific questions - let me know, I may be able to help?

 

Later,

Murling: Thanks, I'll take a look at that one.

 

Mark: When I searched for "dynapath" it came up with no results, I'll try it again.

 

Jack Kalal: Thanks for the emailed post.

 

Thanks all, I've been really busy with several projects and will try all the suggestions asap.

P.S. What a suprise, searched agian and 4 pages of topics came up. Must have had a typo before. Thanks agian.

Hi

I have a TREE VMC 840 with the dynapath 20, if you have any questions, give me a call or email. I also have a BUNCH of dynapath 20 manuals around here if you need one.

 

Good Luck

I know version 8 has a perfect one for the 3axis. No need to edit and has spindle speed. I know that it wont't work with version 9 though.

[MichaelJ]

di you try runing the post up date

[heeler]

John,

 

Should have asked questions here sooner. We had to wait weeks to get some manuals from DYNAPATH.

 

We are now trying to comunicate with the machine using Preditor. It seems to send it to Pred. but not receive from Pred.

 

Thanks

Glenn

Check your cable - lines 2 and 3 should swap from end to end.

 

Later,

Glenn,

We run a dynapath 20 on an older Devlieg and we also use predator. I will send you an e-mail you can try.

Thanks for the email Chad.

 

Will try to work on it later.
