Something else to try is copy and rename your post like (no arcs mori seiki) and have your dealer turn the arcs off in that new post. Use it for 3 axis stuff. I have 3 moris with that control and have the same issue with small arcs.
One MSX 501 control has a nice lookahead feature if I remember to turn it on. When cutting circle mill paths its nice to have arcs though (arc post).
Just a word of experience (BAD) here. I like to rotate my geometry or flip not mirror. Once I moved to mill-turns and drilling od holes and face holes mirroring got me in a lot trouble. OD holes in the solid models mirror also and parts needing a hole at 15 deg will end up at -15 deg . The utility is plus 1000 for this reason also .

YES. I had the same problem with a Mori dura center with a fanuc control.I never got an answer back to solve the problem with the tiny arcs.Go with lines all the way.You will have to change your config file to enlarge minimum arcs for the future.(just in case it might pop up again)
I was trying a method used with tough alloys and stainless sandvik had on a web site.Entering the part on an arc outside the part to cut depth.
Just testing but it works nice.
I USED CENTER BUT IM NEW AT THIS.I KNOW CORE STARTS OUTSIDE AND WORKS INWARD.I JUST GAVE IT A SHOT AND I LIKE IT.YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE BOUNDARY TO FIGURE IT OUT.
I USED SURFACE HIGH SPEED CORE ROUGHING AND ADJUSTED THE CONTAINMENT TO LEAD IN AND OUT WITH A FILLET.THE MATERIAL IS STAINLESS 304 SO THE FILLET HELPS WITH WEAR.THIS IS WHAT I GOT.
I have the same problem with small arcs.I had to set my post to (points only for 3d work).My dealer recommended this and the problem was solved.Sadly code is much longer.Certainly try above first.
[At least I think that is what you are after.]
You read my mind.I want an M04 so I used a Left-164 tool and rotated it B180, comp right ( code and backplot) looked good.I guess it was straigt forward.Curious how to make this less redundant.Do I modify and save the default setting for face and turn ops or modify the post (rather not)?How did u get the T01.01?That would be nice.
I have a new Mazak e500h and im trying to create a 45 deg face tool for face and turn operations with no success.Has anyone tried to create tools?My dealer and I thought it was strait forward but the m03 or m04 is posted wrong or the angle is doubled during posting.
Creating a new 45 deg tool using the Sandvik library (dsnn snmg) was easy enough then rotating to -45 deg in tool setup.The post ignored the -45 deg part.Inside the parameter page the (tool angle) option thats available is throwing me off.The post reads any angle in (tool angle)yet if that option is not set every time the B-axis will rotate during a face operation to rough turn operation.What am I missing.Thanks
I have a SV50 mori with no problems with the same gcode.My MC reseller thought a parameter change might be needed.Im using I and Js.We tracked the error to a radius less than .001.The control takes a backward route when it sees the small radius.
I have a large loop radius happen when my MSX501 Fanuc control sees a very small G02 or G03 radius of say less than .001.Is this a parameter issue I can change?Changing the post to output only points works for 3D work but a bad finish occurs when interpolating bores.
I just replaced all linear guides on a Mori Dura center 5 with only 250 hrs.Purchased used after sitting 3years.I was told it was synthec. coolant to blame.Watchout ! Tech said its too common now.I understood him to say Mori was using wayoil now. ???
