  1. My company owns both Esprit CAM and Mastercam. We are in the process of procuring NTX 2000. My management has given me option to purchase 'Millturn module & post' for either Esprit CAM Or Mastercam. I am a Esprit Cam user for last 4 years and Mastercam user for last 1 year. Still I prefer Mastercam over Esprit. But after going through this thread, I really worry that my choice might be wrong. If post is the only problem, then I can go for Postability Or In-house solution Post. Any suggestion will be much helpful. Thank you.
  2. We purchased as "5 axis bundle with post". So I am aware. Till reading this post, I was knowing about 'post linked to machine simulation' option. Also, I never heard such thing with my previous CAM. Anyhow, I will reach out to my reseller to find it. Thank you.
  3. My SMC is expired and I don't to disturb them, if there is a simple way to check. That's the reason I asked.
  4. Other than asking my reseller, Is there any way to check whether my Post is coupled to Machine simulator or not?
  5. Any update to this post? All these problems for NTX 2000 is just because of the Post Or is it due to the MC itself? Is it all improved with MC2023?
  6. Vericut supports VNCK. I couldn't find any information regarding Ncsimul's VNCK support Ncsimul has 'NCsimul 4CAM' module, which is an integrated post processor. This is one advantage of NCsimul compared to Vericut, but when I contacted Hexagon (India), they informed that the module is not fully functional. If anybody has any information on NCsimul's VNCK support and NCsimul 4CAM module, then please share it here. Thank you.
  7. Hello all! Thanks for the suggestions. 1. I understand that it is a post problem. I gave all the inputs (output from MC, output from other CAM, etc.,) to my vendor (MC India) and they are working on it. 2. I asked my vendor for post which gives Vector outputs instead of angle outputs. This is just to check. 3. Contacted Siemens. They asked to ensure correct placement of Clamping & Unclamping codes. I will update here once the problem is solved. Thank you.
  8. Hello all! During 5 axis machining, the machine stops with an error message of "Axis enable missing". I observed that this happens when the execution changes from 3 axis line (block) to 5 axis line (block). For example, some of the line have only x, y and z value and when it reaches the line with x, y, z, B and C value, this error happens. I also observed that changing the values/switching off of Cycle 832 (High speed machining cycle of sinumerik) have some effect on this error. That is, some time it continues to run with warning/alarm, or it sometimes stops at different block no. Could it be the problem of post? Or any other settings in MC? I don't get this problem when I run with program from different CAM. Just based on that I am ruling out machine / controller issue although I am not very sure. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
  9. Blade expert is super easy but it doesn't support Profiled tools like Oval/Barrel tools. Now I want to create toolpath for the same blade using Morph toolpath, to use Oval tool, but the tool axis control is super complicated with lots of option. 1. Is there any good idea to set tool axis control for Morph toolpath by making use of generated Blade expert toolpath? 2. Morph toolpath has "Impeller normal to floor" option in Tool axis control. How does it differs from line control? It asks to select 3 blade edges. Any idea what are all those edges? Thank you.
  10. For example in Impeller part, during blade finishing with Morph toolpath, I like to control my B axis within -10 to 95 degree, since thats my machine limit. Just by trail & error, I could get the toolpath within limits by setting conical limits with respect to z axis. But I couldn't understand how it actually limits the B axis & if I want to use line option for this case, then where that line should be? I see the limits can be give only from 0 to 180 degrees but my machine can travel in negative B upto 10 degrees. How to specify this in limits? Also whenever I limit the axis, I end up with a messy/wavy toolpath in some zones. I switch between exact & approximate step over calculation but still there will be some messy toolpath zone. Right now I don't have example file. You may please consider the HTEC impeller from tech exchange. Thank you!!!!
  11. Can you please share some pictures on this? & Can you please elaborate on this "I might need to make it normal to the start of end of a rotation since it is limited to 0-180"
  12. How to display toolpath which traces Tool contact point instead of Tool tip? When I use Lolipop or ball end mill, I am not really sure whether the tool runs on the boundary edges or not and some linking motions are really confusing. When I backplot it, I understand those moves happens to keep the tool in contact. If we can change the toolpath display from Tooltip to Tool contact point, then I hope it will be easy to understand especially when we use Lolipop end mills. Thank you!
  13. What if there are no G2 & G3 in the code? I mean approximating every Arc moves into linear moves. Will the overfeeding still occurs?
  14. This old post explains it better Is it possible that MC adjusts engagement angle instead of keeping it constant, to compensate for the increase in chip load due to Arc moves, instead of varying the feedrate?
  15. Plz check this link. It says "constant chip load" https://www.mmsonline.com/articles/boost-metal-rates-with-constant-chip-load-machining
