Gouging/verify

[Kelly Burns]

Are there parameters somewhere to determine what to consider gouging vs a heavy corner cut? Using the rest machining option after area clearance and the backplot shows ok, but in verify its stopping at a gouge point. Verify isnt showing any red area, just stopping the tool there. Its about a 30 hr operation and I am wondering what to expect when it reaches that point. Are there parameters to adjust somewhere to determine gouge vs heavy cut?

 

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that verify stopped, and did'nt freeze? Sometimes you will not see the red area until you advance another single step.

[Kelly Burns]

No. It stopped and waited for me to continue on. When I did continue there wasnt anything showing a gouge.

I believe verify defines a gouge (red area)as interference during a rapid move, not based on a heavy cut. I would check your rapid heights.

I agree with Neil, check the linking moves I sometimes have to add more in the Leads (Vertical Entry).

 

Vericut will stop with a rapid move if tool contacts stock.

David, you got it right. Opened up the linking moves and it went away. Thank you all for your time.
