maybe there is a way to get the "flat on tip" field accessible from the tool parameters?
-
sweet. thanks
-
Could it be related to the Cimco settings for checking external changes?
-
I am sure it is just a preference thing. How about making an additional row available if needed?
-
Tony, Did you try the "lock feedrates" option in the configuration? I didn't try, just taking a stab....

Enhancement Request, Contour & Face Finish and Spring Passes
Kyle Waters replied to Dave.L's topic in Industrial Forum
+1 We also do many small pockets/features. Would also be cool to utilize the climb and conventional directions inside this enhancement -
You can also just re-click the wrong entity as long as you are trimming 1,2, or 3 entities...
-
Well currently it looks like there is something similar to "cell padding", I was thinking kind of like resizing columns in the Level Manager, or in Excel.
-
Hey Ken, I was thinking when you create a new Named View. It seems like if there was a checkbox below "Set as WCS" for creating a Viewsheet, all the naming and settings would be done. I have 20+ usually. And while were at it, could we have resizable tabs too? It is almost Christmas....

On the 3dConnexion site another user created an application and driver to be able to use devices for virtually anything. Check here... Linky I haven't tried it, but it looks promising. HTH
-
Good Morning All, Has anyone already brought up creating a Viewsheet "automatically" when a new view is created? Then maybe you could eliminate a step for those of us that use them? Just wondering...
-
Highfeed, Yes it is, except Justin is editing all of them at the same time thru the "common parameters" dialog.
-
how does the cost compare? Last I saw, you could only get this in square variations....has this changed?

Mill Turn - Multi-thread Editor
Kyle Waters replied to Mark Baker CNC Software's topic in Industrial Forum
Hey Mark, I assume you are talking about the function using the Mastercam editor? I looked over the info a while back, will this be seeing more support/documentation? -
Mayday, Did you already change the settings for the posting of the error file in the control definition?

okuma p2000l (multus) delete files with .SDF?
Kyle Waters replied to xarvox's topic in Industrial Forum
oops my logic is a bit whacked, and my counter is incorrect. It should be VSET VC1=1 VC2=20 N1 IF[VC1 GT VC2]GOTO N2 PSELECT PART.MIN PSELECT SERIAL.MIN IF[VC1 LE VC2]GOTO N1 N2 END -

Kyle Waters replied to xarvox's topic in Industrial Forum
Can you try this out? VSET VC1=1 VC2=20 N1 PSELECT PART.MIN IF[VC1 GT VC2]GOTO N2 PSELECT SERIAL.MIN IF[VC1 NE VC2]GOTO N1 N2 END PART.MIN making a part here M30 SERIAL.MIN IF[VC1 EQ 1]GOTO N1 IF[VC1 EQ 2]GOTO N2 IF[VC1 EQ 3]GOTO N3 IF[VC1 EQ 4]GOTO N4 ......for as many individual numbers you need N1(SERIAL #1) program here GOTO NEND N2(SERIAL #2) program here GOTO NEND N3(SERIAL #3) program here GOTO NEND N4(SERIAL #4) program here GOTO NEND .....on and on.... NEND VC1=VC1+1 M30 -

Would it be easier to have the serial file stay in MD1, then either make it a G code macro and pass the required info from a variable or Call the serial file and pull the info from a variable For the tool issue, do you use/have tool life management on the machine? I am thinking that you could use the tool life management variables to automatically know which tools you need to call up, plus an additional variable for a loop counter. Then simply implement this into your tool change program. -
Has anyone out there managed to have a list of the created planes from the RMB menu without the need to click on the named planes/gview? Or is that too crazy? I did a search on RMB and couldn't find anything along those lines. Thanks in advance
-
Tuxedo, are you using toolplanes with the operation? Secondly, is this post one you use all the time? In your machine def, the B rotates around X, and A rotates around Z?
-
dperron, You should be able to manually align the stock, then command the same angle in your bar puller routine.
-
Yep, that would be a Mitsubishi not a Fanuc.

Hey Dave, I brought this up a while back at my shop, we had a demo from InpectionXpert off from a few of our own drawings. It recognized alot of things right off the bat, and our drawings are pretty bad. Unfortunately they didn't do any sort of trials, so the boss said no way. Let me know how it works out.
-
Hi Malibu, Yes I do use Mastercam to program our NL, however most of our stuff can be done at the control with the conversational side. You can bore jaws straight from the control, pretty easy. I have never used a Mazak so I can't compare, but I can say that since we have an MT2000 with lower turret,in-machine parts catcher, etc., Mori learned a lot of lessons in the mill-turn arena. The NT machine is bad @ss! And since we are talking about it, are you guys completely opposed to a Multus or Macturn?

Sweet, thanks Gunther. I can't wait to see the lathe stuff!
