Treadmilling using MPMASTER_OKUMA

[cadmonster66]

Have a quick question, Finally getting around to using VX2 MR2 and having little issue. Been e-mailing Greg back and forth we both seem to think the post is having issues . When trying to use thread-mill option no matter what you do in your settings to make the post output the thread as 1 single arc (360) the post will not do it seems to break arc into 180 degree.

Example

1/4-20

Z will move down in .025 in 2 moves instead of 1 complete .050 down on an external thread.

Post works fine in V9 though.

Also funny is when you change settings to allow complete 360 it works fine in contour though

weird huh.

 

Hope your watching Greg lololol

Any help would be great to get the threadmill option to output in 1 single 360 instead of 2 180's

ohhhhhhh yeah active teeth is set to 80

 

Thanks

John

Have you modified both the post and the Control Definition? Check both places. Also, make sure you edit the Control Definition THROUGH the Machine Definition Manager. Otherwise it will not prompt you to "reload" the machine definition file with the newly modified one...

 

HTH,

Colin,

I have this post set with all the options I want for 360 and all those settings in V9 and just used post update in X2 that didn't help check settings in post on X2 and they are all set to proper 360 and don't break

thanks

You don't just look in the Post anymore. The X series of Mastercam requires a Machine and a Control Definition file.

 

The settings in the CD override the settings in the Post. Have you tried contacting your reseller?

[gcode]

Go to the Arcs page of the Control Definiton

and set it to "don't break arcs"

Thanks
