We are looking for a 3d cad viewer to open up, .prt(UG), .step, .x_t. Hopefully something that is inexpensive for our quoting department to view customer models. Just wondering what it is that you all are using.

Rob, you have mail

here this should help had the same problem awhile back. linky

Any word on the swiss package?
-
Ahh well, I guess that we will just have to live with the finish that we have. Tried the re-boot had no affect. Thanks to all for your thoughts.

Cranked it up to 75% still get the out of memory error.

Steve, Memory buffering is set to 50%. The toolpath is a 5 axis flow (doing a true 5 axis path), I am trying to change the cut control distance from .005 to .00035 to obtain a better finish. The toolpath size with the .005 setting is reported as 7187.6K.

Got the infamous "out of memory" error. Is there an allocation table as in V9? 2GB Ram 3.4GH Pentium D FX 3400 Graphics card. Thanks in advance.

I have no experience with any other mill/turn centers other than Mazak. I love them to death, I got so used to programming them when I had to program a 3+2 it told me "too many axis commanded" loved it. Any how I would go with the Integrex hands down.

Worked great John Thanks a bunch

I will work with that, I will let you know how I make out. Thanks John

Hey all, I am trying to get my post to prompt me for a "X" diameter for the bar stop. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

here is a sample of what the code in most of our 5 axis machines appears. This code is from our Integrex post. code: N25 (T025025.0001 | 0.302 JOBBER LENGTH COBALT DRILL | DIA. - 25. | DIR. - 0. | SUFFIX - 1.) 5 AXIS - PECK DRILL - FULL RETRACT - SPOT 7.95MM HOLE (DRILL 7.95MM HOLE) G28 U0.

pattern reselect your surfaces and change the cut diretion.
-
Are you using the flow 5 axis path? If so you should be able to click on the geometry and in the dialog box choose cut

Running a 3.4GHz Pentium D here 2GB ram and the fx 3400 card 256mb of ram. No problems here, I actually think that it kick a$$.

Stork, I hear alchol is now availible @ 8am on Sunday

I have had that happen to me as well. I think I have discovered (at least for me) what the problem was. We also run UG, if I have UG open and then open MasterCAM all is well. However if MasterCAM is open and UG is opened after MCAM all heck seemed to break loose ie..... Toolpaths moving completely of the part, corrupted tool paths, ops changing sequence, just all kinds of horrible stuff.

We have a 300 and a 200, both with KM63 holders. I like the holders repeatability, however, with only Kennametal and Valinite (I think still VM63) making these holders delivery/selection of holders can be an issue. I have not taken any (what I would consider) heavy cuts, so I have not noticed a rigidity problem. I have seen all the sweet options that are available with the capto system, kind of wish I was more involved with the purchase of the machine.

Travis, Good luck. I was faced with a similar situation about 2 years ago, moved 600 miles away from home. The first couple of weeks in a new town / company were a bit odd, but........ I am truly glad that I took the chance. Good luck again.

Welcome to the forum, took the lathe, c-axis class, Martin Roderick's files and then just lots and lots of "hmmm whats this switch do" I guess if you know what you want the output to be than it is just up to you to make the software do "as it is told
-
John?????? I know that it can, not a post expert by any means, but a search for that "M28" would be where I would start.... I think that one if the post guru's will prove way more helpful, I just hope that I am remotely close.......

We use NX2 and NX3, Long story short, UG is an excellent 3-D modeling software with a good CAM package. Some of the menu options in the software are buried IE, cutter comp, feedrates. I have also found that customizing the post processor to do things (common for MC) can be a bit difficult, and UG support offered little or no help. I like UG’s CAM package don’t get me wrong, but when I need to program the Integrex here I would not even (in my wildest dreams) think of using anything other than MasterCam
