Rapid moves turned into feed moves on groove

[TFesta]

Hello Everybody,

 

I'm grooving a part and want to turn the rapid moves into feed rate moves. I have checked the feed rate box in the rough groove tab at the top right on MCX5. I want to change the feed rate from the default .010 to .025. But no matter what I do. I can't get it to go higher then the .010 feed rate. Does anybody know?

 

Thanks

Think that was a bug in that version. Not seeing it in X7 or X8. May have to make a trigger in the post to do it for you. Call your local Mastercam dealer they should be able to assist.

Ok, Thanks. I usually don't use that option. But on the VTL's they would rather feed faster then rapid, with the little lathes it's not a problem.

Yes when you are spinning 100" diameter parts with rapid moves makes the people jump. The have a part spinning at 9 rpm and when the tool is moving faster than the part is just scares people.

Try this....

 

 

Change the setting to feedrate, enter your desired retract feedrate, then click on the “Groove finish parameters” tab, then go back to the Groove rough parameters, then Green check out.

 

$20 says it will work...

 Oh my gosh. K2csq7. It sure does work and I didn't even use the finish groove. I just went over to the finish groove tab and then back. Wow, thanks.

When I go back to CT to see my brother and sister-in-law. I'll buy you a drink. Thanks a lot.
