Sub Spindle - Stock Transfer Error

[Mick]

Almost always, at some point when working on a Stock Transfer part, I get this error:

 

"Warning: Stock Defined in both spindles. Stock must be defined in 1 spindle only"

 

If I then proceed to try and delete the RH stock, it returns the warning: "Cannot Reset Stock Boundary. It is used in a stock trasnfer operation which must be deleted first"

 

I dont understand, as I haven't altered anything in the parameters, and it is weird that the only way to supposedly fix it, is to delete the Part transfer operation. Has anyone else encountered this?

I get that a lot no idea on how to help you. I do a stock transfer and everything just goes to H. I delete the operation and try it again it usually works. I feel your pain.

i got a lot of issues with the stock transfert

 

if you don't get it the first time , you will get many problems!!

 

so delete all , unblank all geometry associated with transfert and delete all

 

 

then you can redo the stock transfert

I have been using stock transfer alot on my integrex Machine Def. and it works incredibly well (totally unrealated to what machine def you have of course).

 

I also compiled a tutorial that I could possibly post up on the ftp when I get home (since I cant do it at work) that has a fairly in depth explanation of how to do stock transfers really well. I use it in the shop here for other people looking to program for sub-spindled machines and they have no issues either.

 

If you wanna have a look at a copy shoot me an email and I will send it to you. Feed back on it would be great too. =]

This is available on my FTP site in the misc file folder

 

If you don't have the link for it, check the CADCAM's FTP thread at the top of the threads.

Randy, thankyou VERY much for providing that pps (I downloaded it from JP's server...thanks JP!)

 

The pps is a great help, as there is little/no documentation in regards to stock transfer. We have a Multus B400W and I have had to learn the hard way. I pretty much picked up most of it shown in the pps, but the synchronised spindles (holding with both chucks for milling) is something I haven't tried yet. I might have to give that a go.

 

It really doesn't explain the issues I am having with the stock errors. I guess I am going to have to dig a little deeper.

 

thanks again!
