i notice in x5 mu1 when i make circlemill toolpath in 2 or more circles roughing and finishing speed work only in first circle ,from second circle no roughing feed only finishing feed rate for both rough and finish . that not happen in x5. did i do something wrong?

this save my habit and now i can fly with x5 with less worry

yes! you open stl than save in solid format

Hi! where can i download prmDEF for x5 i get used to toolpath default setting rather than previous toolpath setting thanks

we have 5axis trunion table close to 5axis hass machine. it has A axis rotating from 0 to -90 and C axis 0-360 but my post (modify from hass come with x4) give out code x,y,z correct only A i want - it give + and i want c it come B post like this % O10000 ( PROGRAM - AMCO 5AXIS TEST ) ( DATE - 18-11-10 TIME - 21:07 ) G20 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 G0 G28 G91 Z0.

i install x5 on win 7 -64bit, and approach distance button grey out , anybody have this thing i need this to control first plunge not on material

thanks Jparis ! yes it is working by way u say , but in x4 i do not put value in rectangle , that means when i open x4 file i have to change setting in setting

i try other x5 post but not luck only g54 no g55

post i use mpmaster update from x4 and one more thing strange here is i open x4 made transform toolpath then post in x5 it post correct with g45 g55 but if i generate ,save then post , g54 g55 gone

not work

in x4 i used alot transform toolpath to generate for 2 work station with G54 AND G55 but in X5 , i can not make it happen do i miss something

Allan Thanks a lot. it is not perfect but better than linear

but in other software the codes come out like i said and part come out smooth no facet that mean problem is in mastercam and post , so sad to say so

this 3-d contour tool path where is linearize helix setting?

Hi everyone! i use 3-d contour cutting around cylinder (true circle) it ramp down from 0. to .3 at half of circle then ramp up back to 0. the code should be simply like this lead in G03 X-2. Y0. Z0. I... J... X2. Z-.3 I...J... X-2. Z0. I... J... lead out but x4 and mpmaster post give out only lines no matter how i change filter setting and C.D set helix in all plane how can i solve this problem i do not want to edit by hand

thanks all you guys

how do you guys recommend feed and speed to cut .75 with slot on 316 stainless steels and drill 1/2 dia hole i never machine this material before please help

offset centre instead of tip

not work , every thing stay the same

thanks ron branch i will try and let u know and sorry robh i mean x4-mu3

i do alot 5x drill in horizontal 4 axis indexing and x4-mu4 with mpmaster post give codes like this: N1 T1 ( 1/2 SPOTDRILL) M06 G00 B0. G00 G17 G90 G54 X1. Y1. S1000 M03 G43 H1 Z6.5 G94 G98 G82 Z2. R2.75 F5. X1.0607 Z2.8536 B45. R3.6036 X.5 Z3.5 B90. R4.25 G80 M05 but my 4-x indexing machine need code B in separated line from x,y,z like this 1 T1 ( 1/2 SPOTDRILL) M06 G00 B0. G00 G17 G90 G54 X1. Y1. S1000 M03 G43 H1 Z6.5 G94 G98 G82 Z2. R2.75 F5. G80 B45 X1.0607 G98 G82 Z2.8536 R3.6036 G80 B90 X.5 G98 G82 Z3.5 B90. R4.25 G80 M05 Please help me to twist post to make right format .thank alots

drill 5x output 4x works for me in this case centre of cylider off c/rotation thanks

thank guys i will try and let u know , thank alot

Hi ! i have to drill 20 holes around cylinder on horizontal 4axis . if i can put exactly centre line of cylinder in centre of table rotation , the program will be simple by drill one hole then transform rotate around origin . but for some reason centre of cylnder of c/rotation are off and transform rotate toolpath give wrong codes , and i have to do c/p and t/p in every hole that really long way , i know you guys have better way ,please tell me i use x4-mu3 thanks

check tolerance in your control definition
