MCX5 Verify

[ricktv2]

I just installed MCX5. I opened a file that I created im MCX4. The model includes surfacing a cylindrical bore. The file backplots and posts fine. I checked the NC file against the MCX4 NC file and they posted the same. My problem is when I verify. On my surface finish parrallel toolpath verify does not work correctly. It shows the tool driving thru the stock. I regenerated the file and made sure that the NCI file was saving to the correct MCX5 folder. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Check to see if Tool is programmed to TIP and not Center.. That was my problem... DUP!!!

I have been working with this. I have found that if I change my surfacing filter settings ( turn off create arcs in XY, XZ and YZ ) it verifys fine. When I change the filter settings back, it appears to drive tool thru part again. Depending on tolerance settings it may obliterate entire stock in verify.

Randle, I was programming to center and changed it to tip. It verifys correctly now. When set to center it verify's erratic, not just offset by cutter radius. We ususlly program to center so that we can follow the contour of a arc if needed. It worked fine in X4.

had this same problem when i upgraded to X4. the problem was the tools were still attached to the X3 tools directory. make sure all your tools are coming from the designated X5 directory. just a thought

Thanks for the tip, I will check into it Monday morn.

I checked my file, tool is correct. I also deleted the tool and created a new one, and the verify is still incorrect. It will verify correctly if I do one of two things, 1) comp to tip or 2) remove all filter settings. Should I send this to QC?
