2017 problem with 5 axis

Recommended Posts

I have cut quite a few parts now using full 5 axis motion without problems after the teething of figuring out which toolpaths work best. However, I am now stumped on this one and I do have a call into my reseller for help but while I am waiting I figured i'd ask here first to see if there was a quick answer. The picture shows the gist of my problems.

For whatever reason when I cut a closed angle curve with 5 axis motion on the machine it cuts to deep into the geometry by .100". When I cut an open angle curve wall with 5 axis motion it stays to far away from the geometry leaving it rough from the roughing cutter i used with dynamic pocketing. I am not sure if it is off exactly the same amount as the closed angle 5 axis motion I just drew it like that to give perspective.

I want to point out that the angle of the pocket is correct, its position is off .100" so it is rotating to the correct angle it is just .100 to deep.

For the open cut test last operation (mw swarf) , It is leaving material in the corners because you have .25 set in the corner rounding box in the corners dialog.  Reduce this to about .03 and I think you will get the results you are looking for.  As for the over cutting and not cutting enough in simulation, I am not sure what is causing that.   Check your simulations tolerances.
