Model geometry Breaks apart between rotations

Recommended Posts

Hello ,

 

I am using a standalone CAM package developed in my lab integrated through

Chooks with MastercamX6 64 bit. (recently upgraded from X4 to X6)

 

What this CAM package does is that it automatically creates high speed machining toolpaths

for a part AUTOMATICALLY from various orientations.

 

For ex: machining from a 0 deg;180 deg for a given part.

 

The issue is that when I rotate the model between two toolpaths,

the models break apart; ex: half of the model rotate and half doesnt

which ends up with surfaces hanging in air for which toolpath is generated.!

(Please see the picture attached)

 

Has any body faced the same issue.?

 

It does this for all the standard format files like sldprt, prt, iges, step, parasolid

 

It always worked fine when I used it in X4, but in X6 it is literally tearing away the model geometry

everytime I rotate it about an axis.!

 

Does anybody happen to have a clue?

 

Help is appreciated,

Ash
