Helix Cutter Comp Issues

[ChrisB76]

I am having a issue with a Helix milling cycle, on my PC when I post it and look at the code, it activates the cutter comp but does not turn in off and moves to its next location. I am guessing that it is dangerus to have cutter comp activated when it is doing positional moves. We did a test in a different file, everything identical and it turns it off. The only way to get rid of the problem is to do a perpendicular entry.

 

Any thoughts?

I allwaye use perp entrey for helix bore if im useing comp on it. comp is only picked up on a liner move and the move has to be larger than your comp i.e if you have .005 comp you have to have at least that in liner movment to pick it up not sure if this answers your question

Did some looking and found that X5 has a bug that messes with this exact feature. I loaded the MU1 patch, only reselected my geometery, and regenorated, it comes out perfect.
