Tombstone

[tlarue]

Does anyone have a sample tombstone program. I have improvised several times and would like to lurn the right way to program on a tombstone with work on multiple sides.

What Mastercam version would you like?

[spade117]

using wcs will probably help.

Not a 100% sure, but if you download the multiple work offset post from our wonderful friends right here @ IHS web page then you will get a sample tombstone file with it... I am blocked from downloading the file so I can't see the contents, but I believe that is where I got it from in the past.

I have been looking for the same example for machining a tombstone on a HMC. I went to the link above and downloaded it. The download contains a post that I assume is for a HMC but the example MC9 file is for a VMC.

 

Does any one have an example MC9 for machining a tomstone on a HMC?

I'm a little slow today. Please explain. Do you want a model of how to machine a tombstone on all sides? Or a model showing how to machine parts on different sides using the WCS?

 

I uploaded a file to the MC9 directory called

 

HMC_10_X_19_TOMB.MC9

 

It shows how I machined a tombstone on 4 sides using transform rotate for one of our horizontals.

Shoot me an e-mail (address in my profile) and write exactly what process you're looking for and I'll find something for you.

Where did you upload the file HMC_10_X_19_TOMB.MC9.

 

Please advise.
