TO ALL HEIDENHAIN gurus

[Duece06]

While verifying toolpaths with Vericut the second op kept cutting .25 below top of the part even though the actual code looked correct. Not being familiar with the code for the heidenhain I didn't notice this.

 

 

27 ;TOOLPLANE NAME - OP2 JAWS TOP

 

28 TOOL CALL 2 Z S2500 DL-.25

 

29 L Z-.1 R0 F MAX M91

 

I st up my toolplanes the same as I always do so I am totally confused.

I've never had this DL-.25 show up in any programs before and am curious as to where it came from and what caused it. Looking in the manual I did find that its an offset amount .

 

All ideas accepted and appreciated

Many different things could do this. Without something more to look at not much I could help you with. Got a file? When you talked to your dealer or post builder what did they say?

It's the DL in the tool call.

 

I'm guessing you are cutting with a 1/2 ball mill and you are programming to the center of the tool?

I agree with hsm400, are you to CENTER instead of TOP of tool ??

 

One of my posts gave me for all mill type's an lenght correction (DL) with the "radius-value", we've changed that to "cornerradius-value".

So if you didn't use an Ball-mill, your post can have the same problem.
