Mastercam X5 officially Released
Mcam Nut replied to Jim Evans from CNC Software's topic in Industrial Forum
It is working on my Nethasp server, but not on the remote pc's? -
I am yet to see a Quadro last for 5 years. We have 6 dell Precision workstations, purchased less than 5 years ago. Every video card had to be replaced due to over heating (fan came apart) I dont know if Dell fixed this problem or not. We also have 3 or 4 precision laptops that have had video card problems, not sure if that was from the fan or not, but it was heat related

All I was doing is reopen the file, and change the tol again, would this clear the regen folder?

Where do I find the regen folder?

MasterCam x4 MU3 Windows 7 64 bit Gateway pc - $1000.00 1 year ago 1.5 TB 7200 RPM HD (almost full) Intel I5-750 Quad core @ 2.67ghz 8GB DDR 3 memory ATI Radion 4650hd @ 1GB 1:15 Not bad for a system that costs about 1/4 the price of a good Dell Precision Also ATI Video cards seem to work much better with MasterCam then they used to. I didn't have to adjust any settings or switch any drivers to get this card to work good.

Where did you dl it from?
-
Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. I may start with a 3/4 solid carbide

I have my sim home for the weekend, but dont have the sample parts installed on my home pc. I also dont have the install disk at home. Is there somewhere I can download the file from so I can benchmark my home pc?

One of the quadro video cards went in a Dell precision, and we had a few 9800 gt's at the shop, so I replaced the quadro with a 9800 gt, and I actually find it works better with the gaming card.

Just as a update we did purchase the Lang setup We also bought a 2 sided tombstone for the vises to mount to. After 1 month of use I am very impressed with the quality and functionality of this setup. It makes for much faster setups, and much greater repeatability from our old setups. Also having the tombstone, basically turns our machine into a horizontal mill, so chip removal on a large part is no longer a issue. I will post some pics next week of some of our setups.

We bought it for a vertical 5 axis with a rotary table, but I think it would work great on almost any machine.

I am starting to try different tool Paths, and one of my favorite toolpaths so far is dynamic mill. One of the parts I am working on has a deep pocket (over 5") and the only roughing tool we currently have with that kind of reach is a 1.25" Sanvik inserted endmill with .25rad button inserts. My question is, would there be any advantage of using dynamic mill if my max depth is only .25" On backplot the regular pocket toolpath is faster, until I reach 250ipm on the dynamic pass.

Getting center Diameter whith renishaw probe
Mcam Nut replied to pat hynes's topic in Industrial Forum
You shouldnt need a software program to create your macros, they are easy to create, and there should be a book that came with your probe with all the functions, if not, you can get a renishaw training manual. I think our probe came with all the macros on a floppy disk, to load in the machine. -
Help With Toolpath Selection
Mcam Nut replied to Justin Beebe at Folsom Tool's topic in Industrial Forum
If you send the file to my e-mail I can put the toolpath on it for you. If you don't want to share it, I can create a similar solid with toolpath, so you can see how the toolpath works. -
Help With Toolpath Selection
Mcam Nut replied to Justin Beebe at Folsom Tool's topic in Industrial Forum
quote: To cut the od try 3d contour The 3d contour I am thinking about just controls the tip of the tool, it dosn't tilt the head to cut a draft angle. Is there another 3d contour that will allow you to cut a draft angle? I had to look at the pic from my iPhone, because it is blocked at work, so maybe I am looking at it wrong. -
Help With Toolpath Selection
Mcam Nut replied to Justin Beebe at Folsom Tool's topic in Industrial Forum
This Looks like a fairly easy job for Multiaxis/swarf 5 axis use these settings Output format: 5 Axis Walls: use Chains - select lower, and upper chains Tipcomp: Lower rail with a - distance number. This toolpath will work great for the sides, and the chamfer, the only problem will be to get the square corners. if your machine has a c-axis in the table, you may have to raise the part enough to tilt the head and use a curve 5ax toolpath to clean the corners -

Running old programs on 64 bit computer
Mcam Nut replied to Todd Mann from Fastech's topic in Industrial Forum
Have you tried to load it? I had no problem installing a old dnc program on win 7 64 (Heidenhain CDS 4.1) -
1:49 hp compaq 8000 elite Intel core 2 @ 3.0 Ghz 2 gig ram Onboard Video Windows xp This system was bought for e-mail, and Microsoft Office only. I decided to install mastercam, to see if it would run it ok. It works great so far, no graphics issues at all. Our best benchmark time before this was just over 3 mins on a Dell Precision m6300 intel core 2 duo t9300 @ 2.5ghz 2 gig ram and a Quadro FX 3600M video card. The Precision 670 in my sig was over 5 mins.
