X+ setup sheet (in X4) - ccomp problem


Kevin E
 Share

Recommended Posts

Just started using the X+ setup sheet from GMCCS in X4. One thing that we thought was really good was the ccomp indicator showing what type of comp was being used (off, computer, control,...). However, this indicator doesn't show up on pocket toolpaths, even when only the finishing aspect of the toolpath is active.

 

Anyone with some insight on this?

 

Thanks.

Keever,

 

I don't show that field in X+ since we only program using wear comp. (or NO comp for engraving).

 

The best advice I can give you is to use wear comp only. Using wear comp will make your shop's life much easier. No need to enter radius values in the control and the wear will only be small amounts like .001" to .005" and this will aid in the elimination of cutter comp errors.

Dave,

 

Sorry, we don't actually use control comp either, I was just using that to explain what field I meant.

I do switch between computer and wear though, using wear only when the ability to size features is really necessary. So I'm looking for an indicator of when wear comp is used, and when computer comp is used.

 

Programming using wear all the time (except engraving as you said) may be another possibility though.

 

Thanks!
