highfeed z0 feedrate

[Candyman]

hi all i've just started playing with highfeed option in mill 9.1 . all seems ok it outputs different feedrates for different sections of a surface contour(3d) but it also outputs a feedrate of zero(0) which my fanuc control doesnt like.. how can i avoid the f0 output.. thanks paul

Hi Paul did you try look at your operation parameters and check to see if plunge and retract

feed rates have a value also in the highfeed page make sure you have a value enterd for the min feedrate.

operation parameters are all ok and NOT showing a feedrate of 0 ... when in highfeed i select optimize feed for finishing only it doesnt give any options for changing feedrate..but still outputs a feedrate of zero if i dont use highfeed at all my feedrates are all ok..

Check in your highfeed params, You may have min feed set to 0 or a 0.something and post is rounding.

 

Check into the highfeed.doc, and there is also a highfeed power point available.

check the minimum cornering feedrate in the highfeed parameters after that I don't know.
