Our Wire guy here programs our old 2-axis Charmilles using MILL. Define a tool at about .010 and just go from there. He uses our WIRE module for the Newer 4x Charmille ROBO 310

Nothing like diving in. All you can od is make a mistake. Make you soem sample parts in alum plate for startes cuase it cut the quickest and will show you how and where to make some start and stop and go from there. I would also contact your dealer in the area or who sold it which ever is the right one and ask them to coem in for a few hours ro give you soem pointers. If they want ot charge you say well I might can get thme to upgrade to 9.1 if you can help me show them that it is a good program cuase they must not think it is if they still have version 7.

 

Good Luck and ask way alot of wire guys on here that I am sure will be more than glad to help.

Hi Arty,

 

I agree with Mill man about the upgrade, see if you cant get a upgrade, mastercam changest alot from version 7 to version 8, made it easyer to change toolpath without have to rechain stuff.

What kind off WEDM is it you are running?

I have had more luck talking to the actelly manufactere than dealers when it comes to training.

 

Good luck
