TK....i went thru tk_instructions 2x......when going to internet....i get- page can't be displayed.... paths are correct...in right spot with "" do you have any idea what is causing this?
-
Sub-plates have been discussed for this machine. One of the negatives to a sub-plate (for this machine) is that we do some tall work on the machine. Losing 2-3" would hurt us in that area. We may have to go both ways, sub-plate as well as tapped holes in table. Maybe instead of a 2 x 2 pattern we can enlarge the spacing or drill & tap holes specific to fit certain parts. We aren't drilling any table yet we want to make the right decision. Thanks for the answers....keep them coming

We have a machine here that has a 30" x 60" table on it but only has 3 t-slots for clamps. We are going to drill/tap 1/2-13 holes on it....probably in a 2 x 2 pattern. Any tips,tricks or best practices to help me avoid breaking a tap or drill off? What is a machine table normally made from?

...this means my customer will still have to send me a print, even though they'll send me solid or surf files of the part.

I see entities supported are..... surfs solids wireframe axis' planes colors layers/levels drilling features Are print entities supported....dimensions? gdt symbols?
-
check your solid...does it need re-generation? did you delete an entity that was used to create the solid? (blanked or not) hth

We have NC-BASE, DNC MAX, CIMCO EDIT all work well. We can comminicate with all of our controls. We can remote-request with all of our controls except for one...a cinncinati 950 ( i believe) hth

thanks mike

question 2 for HFM..... What is the average time spent on ea machine to set-up MCAM HFM?......you know.... finding out what your machine can/cannot handle.
-
robk, there it was...right in front of my face duhhhh!!! thanks
-
posted code in mcam.......once your machines are dialed in, the post will deccel/accel in & out of corners, slow down where material volume is large etc...etc...
-
Is there a cost to HFM? Is it an option? ....or is it just set-up time getting all your machines dialed in correctly? Where do i access it?.....i can read help about hfm but i can't find where it is.
-
another point to take is ...always save a good solid....sometimes constructions lines get deleted or moved and this will cause your solid to be in need of regeneration....if you don't regenerate, then save....you will have problems upon file-get. (a warning will tell you this, DON'T IGNORE THIS WARING)

remote request is the feature you are looking for. We just installed CimcoDNC/DNCmax/NCbase we're very happy with it. We used to run focalpoint, it worked fine, rather than update focalpoint we decided on Cimco has it had more bells and whistles. hth

i suspect some setting has changed....you may not be aware of it....but something has changed
-
I also have win2k sp4 (indexing disabled) ...maybe a virus! something is corrupt....b/u while you still can good luck.....
-
i don't know why this is....for him to use drafting he must hit the D key. create - drafting - hit D key, his drafting works like normal. anyone know what setting he changed?
-
another user here....all of the sudden he can't add dims/notes/labels...etc..... create-drafting - menu is locked at this point he can back-up and continiue to work....he just can't use drafting....he can do everything else. we shut down mcam....no help we rebooted pc....no help checked globals....appear to be fine any ideas on why this is?
-
could also be poor graphics display......
-
a long shot but......go to SETUP - COLORS...make sure colors are not all set to black hth
-

-
We use Cimco DNCmax5 w/NCbase...it's a full DNC system. We just had it installed about a month ago. We have 16 machines and 4 dataservers we send/rec programs to. Very easy to use, lots of features for program storage, editing, creating and viewing. hth
