Verifying problem !!!!Picture update!!!

[Bafer184]

I just installed X6 and Im attempting to machine a solid model. Its just a simple contouring and pocketing program. Whats happening is when I verify the program it shows the tool removing too much material even though when I backplot it the tool is machining right to the profile. Ive checked everything, tool dia, x and y wall offset, the .stl file parameters, stock offset, etc. If I add .030" to the wall offset then the .stl file shows it to be perfect, but only when I add material, it should be perfect if I set the walls to 0.

 

Any ideas?

 

Ive attached the backplot screen to show the tool is machining to the profile, and also the verify .stl screen to show it shows that the part appears to be under size. thanks!

are you using compter, wear or control comp

 

if you're using control comp you must enable " Cutter Comp in Control" on the Verify options page

and a dumb question ..

 

 

 

you're running STL Compare... how did you make the STL model you're compair verify results with..

 

Is it a model of the finished part ... or the stock ... don't laugh .. I've done this

[Bafer184]

Nope, I checked the stl comp in the verify parameters. Plus, the comp is in the computer.

 

The stl file was taken from the finish part aswell....

What about your verify settings for stl tolerance, tool tolerance, and whatnot?

I just installed X6

 

 

 

Your drwing says you are using X5.

Take a look in the verify options window. under miscellaneous window, two down is the cutter comp in control window. this was causing me a problem when i first used X6, it is defaulted different from X5.

When you run the Verify is the quality set to the the maximum?
