Agie Wire in X2

[Chris Kozell]

Anybody out there using an Agie in X2? I am having a Hell of a time trying to get the code right. I keep getting this crazy double move when i change passes. Anyone else run into this?

Chris,

 

Is that an older Agie Ac100? The older ones are a PITA to get everything right. I was thinking the post from V9 worked fine. Its been some time since I worked with the Agie. You may to set it to debug and see where its coming from.

I have

1 agie classic 2

2 agie classic 3

1 agie evolution

and I can't post with mcamx2 I use mcam9

but I work with my dealer for use mcamx2

it's hard

[Chipmakr]

We use MCX MR2 daily with no issues for 2 classic 3 machines. E-mail me your file and I will see if I can get a good result.

excuse my english I speak french

 

ok on the screen in mastercam the shape is good but in the control the is top is bottom and bottom is top

 

my bottom shape is Z0. and top Z2.

my thread point is Z0.

[Glenn Bouman]

Z0 has to be the top.

 

 

Open up Mastercam help and search for the word Agie and read the rules. (I think there is a French version.)

Toolpath Tips

 

For the Agievision control, we recommend that a part's zero position be on top. You then define geometry as negative from the Z=0 plane.

 

Before running agie.dll, define your stock in the machine group's Stock setup option. If you do not define your stock, agie.dll warns that the path requires stock dimensions. You will then be unable to complete the toolpath.

 

When window selecting chains, if each contour needs separate settings, set Mastercam to generate separate operations.

 

Mastercam gets the Measure point from the Start position at the first tool only. (Start Point means Measure Point in Agie terms.) The Auto start position check box in the Lead in/out tab of the toolpath's parameters dialog box controls this option. Normally, you should disable Auto start position so that Mastercam writes the start point to the output.

 

Events are created for Stop (SERP), but not for Glue Stop, so tabs do not create the event unless stop is selected in NC Parameters.

Set Misc Values 7 to 2

 

MI7 - At radius smaller than offset (0=off, 1=undercut, 2=no undercut)
