[Bruce Caulley]

Vericut delivered today. I see for the price though that you don't get a manual.

Did you invest a little more and get the c-hook

for M-cam??

Its well worth it. You'll spend an awful lot of time

setting up veri-cut manually. JM2C

 

 

PEACE

[Yogesh K. Raman]

no manual?!!!, ask for a refund!

[Yogesh K. Raman]

keep us posted on ur progress, like to hear 'bout it!!!

[crazy^millman]

Vericut without the C-Hook junk in my book. $35,000 could been spent elsewhere in my book since no Chook was bought oh yeah it ain't cheap either.

Some get all the Toys!

[deeherk]

good luck with your new machine...manuals could make life easier though..

Hi Guys,

I have the c-hook but I dont use it as a wanted a completely indenpendant verification of the g-code produced by mastercam. Vericut dont take that long to set up when you get used to it.

[jeff]

Vericut is that much $???

is verification that necessary to most ppl?

Do you use it for production runs?

Or big molds or what?

Im curious.

[Bruce Caulley]

Jeff,

We do a lot of 5 axis aerospace parts. Lots of $$$ if we xxxx it up.

 

The price for the software and to have them build 3 different 5 axis machines was A LOT!!!

Hi Bruce also using Vericut

Bruce

I think if was a nice guy he would send you the c-hook.

[Bruce Caulley]

What does the chook do? We want to verify the actual code and not just the nci. Would this make it a bit quicker?

 

Bruce

[DavidB]

The C-hook is free I think.Look under your cgtech folder/windows/mcamv there is a v8 and v9 c-hook.

Bruce check your email!

[crazy^millman]

Will this one send the Model, Tool and other Data between and Mastercma and Vericut?

[DavidB]

The c-hook starts Vericut automaticaly from Mastercam with either G-code or the NCI. I always use G-code. Also brings in Tools and holders.

I make a .stl of the billet and fixture and bring that in.

Remember if using a Horizontal machine rotate fixture and billet -90 degrees in side view.Vericut thinks B0 is top view.

Bruce,

 

The VERICUT manual is included on the software CD. You can access at any time by pressing F1, it is context sensitive.

 

There is also a printable PDF file on the CD. I would recommend printing only the pages you need. The manual has about 1300 pages.

 

The C-Hook is a purchased module. I verified and your company bought it also.

Bruce,

 

I think you'll find it will save your butt over and over. Did you get the Autodiff addon? It's a neccesity for comparing cut stock to customer model. It catches stock left in finish paths and a lot more.

[Bruce Caulley]

Rick,

We ordered the whole kit and kaboodle I think. Our 3 programmers are at the training course as we speak. I didn't get to go because I now have a slightly different role here and couldn't make the time. I'll pick it up as I need from them when they get familiar with it.

We use VeriCut with the MC c-hook as well. We also use the OptiPath add-on. Optipath has saved us huge amounts of machining time by optimizing the feedrate based on the volume removal rate of the cutter. In other words, if the tool is buried in the material the cutter slows down, if the cutter is taking light cuts, the cutter speeds up. All this while, at the same time, verifying the g-code.

Well worth looking into, especially if you have only a few machining centers.
