Verify problem

[bogusmill]

I am machining an airfoil like part on 5 axis machine. I have a parrallel tool path for both sides leaving .005 on drive surfaces. Then in verify I have tool and cut tolerance set to .001 and choose the solid I'm cutting as my stock so with .005 per side left the part should not be touched in verify. So why is over half of my part showing that it's being cut?

I assume you mean in turbo?

 

Verify only works properly in Top (wcs)

 

In using bottom, You can adjust the Z value on the left to get it to work easy enuf

 

any other wcs you have to use non turbo.

[bogusmill]

No, I'm not using turbo mode and yes, turbo only works in top WCS.

Unless you turn off "Use TrueSolid". Then turbo works for all WCS views. You just can't rotate it.

Verify works fine if I'm using WCS and I use a lot of WCS and I never use turbo. The #1 thing that will bite you in the a$$ is making sure if you setup stock through the stock setup tab that is set to TOP. If it's not that I would have to see the file to know whats wrong.

 

You may have to re-select the solid model in verify as well.

Has anyone come up with a solution to the verify problem? I am having similar problems when running swarf 5 axis toolpaths in MCX-6 MU3. They verify correctly when I set the compensation type to computer but when I try setting it to wear, the tools either do not touch the part or cut into the part depending on if i'm cutting profiles or inside corners. I have tried adjusting the diameter for simulation and any other settings the seem to have something to do with the wear compensation but have not had any luck. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

When you save your part as an stl file make sure you are on wcs top. Also the Quality bottom and the speed will effect this.

[Andrew Seekford]

Yes, the stl file was saved when I was on top wcs. The issue seems to be with the wear comp settings. If I take the same toolpath that works with computer compensation and switch from computer to wear, the verify animation will not show the tool path correctly.
