MASTERCAM 2018 MACHINE SIMULATION

[mirek1017]

Hi Guys ,I set up my job on  VMC  on indexer .When I make simulation ,every time when  indexer rotate for new working plane the toll hit in my part .I think I have to set machine home position ???Can some one point me  what I do wrong .

 

thanks

Try using Very High clearance moves......

My master always first :::)))))

let mi try .My z 0 is center part and my values are incremental .

My HMC post is set to output a jump height upon seeing a rotation or an WCS change on the same rotation....

As that happens in the post, the simulation never sees it, so I set my paths with the jump height, run them, then set it back to my normal clearance....

You can also use Reference Points at the end of paths that you know there will be a rotation.....that can be picked up by simulation

even worse :::)))

Looking at that head into the table, I am left to think you have a plane definition issue

It does the same for me.

When I give it a higher Z for clearance, the head goes further into the table.

Even when using TOP.  Verify and backplot are fine, so is the posted code. It's Simulation that has the issue.

That machine look familar. Look at Ref points to help you get past this issue. If it was tied to the post you wouldn't see this. Basic machine sim is still clunky on multi Axis work like this. See it from time or time on full 5 Axis work. Where linking helps, but then you have a bunch of un-needed clutter. It is an issue with machine sim plain and simple. Do each operation and you will not see it. Where a real CAV makes the difference. 

I built that machine with OD and ID jaws, you can copy that machine and make one and OD jaws setup and the other an ID jaw setup. Just would need to break the jaws out into separate jaws like I did if you want the control of their placement like I did when I built this with Axis control on each jaw. I was using this an example of show others the power of machine sim not being utilized currently.
