Agie Wire nocore X,Y zero move??

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know why the wire path always wants to go to X,Y zero between the core and trim pass when using nocore in Mastercam?. This is great if X,Y zero is at your threading hole, but when the threading hole is located anyplace other than x,y zero then the wire always wants to move to X,Y zero before making its trim cut. The last move in the posted .ISO file for the nocore is G1 X0 Y0.

 

I have found a work around by deleting the zero move in the .ISO, but there must be an better way. Is this a glitch?

 

Mastercam X6 Mu2 with the AGIE GENERIC AGEVISION_AWF 4X WIRE post.

 

Thanks,

Randle

I can make it not start at 0,0 for both no core and finish passes but I cannot control the start position in the no core paths.

 

 

I can force it to start the no core at the thread point I choose but mastercam generates a path of its own that it calculates itself. I can only get this to work by using "Area"

Thanks Del.

 

Picking area helps avoid cutting inside the treading hole, but it still makes a direct b-line to zero at the end of the "no core" path cutting through the part.

 

I guess not many people are using wire, much less the Agie post.

 

 

As far as your finish passes. set your thread distance in the parameters to force it to start there Randall.

Like if you want it to thread and start .050 from edge of part just set thread distance at .050

Make sure you have the contour set for " Inside" though in that screen

I think I found it.. :laughing:

 

The "Default Wire EDM" has different dialogs than the "Agie" version. There is a no Core selection for "Auto Exit" in the defualt. I turned this off and the path looks correct.

 

I should be able to develop an Agie post that uses the defualt type of dialogs or just go back to using the Agie C-hook.

 

Thanks for your help Del.
