HSM Feedback

[mayday]

Thanks, Christian

I'm looking look forward to it. I have yet to cut metal with the toolpaths. only because of the lenght of the prg. I cant drip into the control on this current job. comparing in verify things look good

Thanks christian,

sounds like it should be looking pretty good really soon!

Sam went to customers shop and tried it out. Results:

 

Faster calc time

 

Smoother finish

 

Was also able to cut at 400-500ipm instead of 200ipm without machine jerking, resulting in a very significant reduction in cycle time (50%)!

copy the .dll and .txt file from the programshsm... to the mcam9chook directory

also your 30 day code needs to be there

Thanks Jimmy....there was no readme...heh Ahhh found it

 

 

Just now getting the time to install it...

Crunch time is awesum. I didnt have a leftover choice. But the pencil computing time is worth it right there

 

 

Murlin teh getting a quote

Murlin,

 

Have you ran the part? Cool finish? Higher feed?

 

???

Awesome, Huh.

I havent cut anything with it but by the look at the way the cutterpaths crunch I could run my little mill full bore with this code.

 

The demo version have all the toolpaths?

I only had:

 

pocket

contour

horizontal

scallop

pencil

paralell

 

I didn't see a leftover.

 

Yes, the cutterpaths crunched in about 1/3 of the time and the scallop had a slightly diffrent strategy, which I liked.

 

As far as no arc filtering,

Most of the new HSMC's are built to process mountains of code and no arcs will not matter to these machines.

 

Two words

 

Love it,

 

getting it......wait that's four

Once in tool path params go into rest material.

There are alot of toolpaths in each of the ones you mentioned

Will next version be able to calculate roughing/finishing with respect to a STL file?

(KSR) ?

[Müřlıń®]

Thanks Jimmy, time to go back to school

 

 

Murlin teh study, study, study

Looks like there is an option for stl.

Will let you know

If you want to start the HSM from the OP-Manager, take a look to this Topic:

 

http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...t=007499#000000

 

Rel. 0.4.14.50 is close for release. The 3+2 works fine there. And you will find some new options there, like: rest material support for the contour strategy.

 

Our beta tester here in germany are very happy with this tool. The roughing saves a lot of calculation and machining time.
