O/T Vericut machine simulation

[Tinhman]

Just had a vericut V7.0.3 installed today and i ran into little problem.

Using Mazak nexus 510c in vericut library, and i try to run machine simulation and got these error:

 

code

Could somebody please show me how to fix this??

I already tried vericut forum and have no luck yet.

Thanks in advance

Did this machine file work in an older version?

[Tinhman]

We only have one version v7.0.3

Thanks for the reply.

go to cgtechxxxlibrarymazatrol_matrix.sub and in section tool change(called by M06) edit this:

CGTECH_MACRO "ActiveSpindleCompName" "Tool_Spindle"

CGTECH_MACRO "ActiveSpindleOnOff" "" 0

CGTECH_MACRO "ActiveSpindleCompName" "Part_Spindle"

to this:

CGTECH_MACRO "ActiveSpindleCompName" "Spindle"

CGTECH_MACRO "ActiveSpindleOnOff" "" 1

CGTECH_MACRO "ActiveSpindleCompName" "Spindle"

Thank you very much and i have another question. All my machines have a sub plate about 2.5" thick ontop of machine table and my question is:

is there any way i can change the machine config.or setting up the vericut? so when i create a stock, my stock alway sit on top of sub plate not on top the mahine table?

Thanks in advance

Move the Z value of your stock component up 2.5.

 

So in your tree it would show Stock (0,0,2.5). Then save the machine file.

[Plastmo]

you can move +2.5 fixture as well

[Tinhman]

Thanks a lot.

It fixed all my problem.

[Colin Gilchrist]

It really depends on where that Fixture component is located. Tinhman mentioned that he has a 2.5" sub plate on his machines. In order to see that sub plate, it should be loaded as a Fixture model. By moving the fixture component up, if he loads that sub plate, his part would be buried in fixture. The correct move in his case is to move the Stock component...

[Plastmo]

Colin, yes and no; becaouse fixture is parent for stock, all depends where you locate models origin

[Tinhman]

Here is what i got from Vericut forum.

 

------------------------------------

Display your Project tree

 

Select the Attach component branch in the tree

 

In the Configure Component panel in the bottom of the Project tree, Translate tab

Position = 0 0 2.5

 

By moving this component, the stock and fixture will be translated 2.5 inch
