Help With filtering

[MotorCityMinion]

D2, 62 rc, .1181 bne @ 20k and 40.ipm.

I'm using SF contour, .00011 tolerance, .001 step down. The codes way too long. I have to create a good finish with a .0004 positional tolerance. What might be some good numbers in the filtering section to achive this? I tried 3:1 with a filter tolerance of .00033, cut tol. of .00011. Code got dramatically smaller, but the surfaces look corse. Any tips for this? Version X. Thanks for your time.

X?

X2?

X3?

 

 

If X3 you might try going into the control panel, the Mastercam settings and turning off the new arc filter and revert to the older style and see if that helps

X (1) be da number. Sp1 mr sumthing. Last update before x2 I believe.

So are you saying that almost the only improvement that we got for our maintenance money in X3 MU1, can actually make the surface finish worse?

Motorcity,

 

I use 2:1 and set the total tolerance to .001 maybe you could try 2:1 and set the tolerance to something smaller.

Does 3:1 typically create a coarser finish than 2:1?

[Justin Beebe at Folsom Tool]

I have never used 3:1 but I get good results with 2:1. Maybe someone else can enlighten us on this subject.

Not being at work and having a few extra parts to sacrifice while I'm there limits my ability to test out the different settings for now. I was hoping to get the code smaller so that I could run this on two machines. Friggin Haas only has 1 meg of ram and is giving me % sign errors midway through the program (running off the USB) with the standard post. Going to try the mpmaster on Monday and if that fails, I'll call Haas support and see if a Parameter or other setting needs to be tweaked. Mpmaster works flawlessly on our older Haas.

 

Thanks for the replies, MCM.

Hi John,

What does it mean " new arc filters "?

Where I can find (look) this settings ?

What is better disable or enable this option?
