Milltronics Centurion 7 3 axis mill

[MichaelH]

Any help please.

One of my customers has a few Milltronics Centurion 7 machining centres.

Now that I have started posting dynamic tool paths with 2018, the machines are doing odd things but not always.

Mastercam verify shows a perfect profile, cimco matches this with g-code backlit.

But machine on occasion will cut straight into the part, breaking the tool. Checking on the machine graphics verify, this shows the error path. This means the custom can catch the error before any damage.

Any ideas would be great, my thought was the look ahead setting. But just a guess.

The most common cause of this I have found from personal experience is the Min. Toolpath Radius should always be at least 2x the Stepover. Does it do an arc or straight cut when it violates the part?

Don't use the arc filter and have a machine setting that is fully linearized when doing dynamic. Old Fanuc arc issue. I am seeing the same things on 31i controls with Mastercam 2018. Luckily CAMPlete is catching them and I can fix them before they make it to the machine.
