The best 5-axis machine verification add-on?
kccadcam replied to RandleXX's topic in Industrial Forum
We are currently running a 30 day trial on Predator Virtual CNC. We have modeled up our LeBlond/Makino H1516 5x and have it "virtually" running a large Titanium casting. Working quite well.... The more detailed your machine and fixturing are, the more POWER you need. (Get me a Super computer!!) I'll get back with more feedback soon..... Vericut is more powerful, but you better have a very large wallet.... -
Thank You Tim!! That's exactly what I needed. (much easier than what i was trying.) I'm sure I'll have more questions before this post is finished.......

Here's the end of file: code: G01 X1.76 G03 X1.735 Y-8.3948 I0. J-.025 G01 G40 Y-8.4198 G00 Z8. M09 M05 G91 G28 Z0. T0 M06 T0 G90 M30 This is the last toolchange: code: M05 G91 G28 Z0. M01 T2280 M06 (3/8 2FL CARBIDE EM - PRIMO FINISH ONLY-) (MAX - Z8.) (MIN - Z5.625) M11 G17 G00 G90 G54 X1.4961 Y-8.4298 B0. S12000 M03 M10 G43 H1 Z8.

Already there, Want it to pretool T0 to save time. (every second counts you know) T0 comes from toolpot 312 in magazine. (farthest from toolchanger)

Playing with the new MPMasterX_beta,,, I have stage tools on, no problem. What I need is to have the last toolchange call T0 instead of first tool. code: toolcount = toolcount + 1 prvtp = rbuf(3,toolcountp) if toolcountn <= tooltotal, nexttool = rbuf(4,toolcountn) else, nexttool = first_tool$ Something like: if current tool = last_tool, next_tool = "T0"???? This is for clearing spindle in Makino A55e....

What are the main differences between mill.set and mill2.set in mcamX??? I've tried converting our old .set file from V9 and haven't had any luck. I want to modify a stock Vers X .set file and I'm not sure which one to start with.

Have any of you folks dealt with HP9-4-30 Steel? I just had the opportunity to try 4" Mitsubishi AJX in this material on an older H60 Okuma Horizontal. Currently running .060 deep, .060 per tooth, 210 SFM and I can say the chip auger is staying very busy!! It seems to be very free machining for having so much Nickel in it. Have ran this cutter dry with heavy duty air blast for 4 hours with no insert change or index!! Also ramp milling pockets with the Mits BRP series button cutter and working very well. What kind of SFM can I push this material to?? This before heat treat...

I had a full blown demo of MasterCam X with the Space Pilot, ( thanks Tim, Mcam Northwest)and all I can say is WOW! I want one so bad I'm beggin'.... Ergonomics is exellent, the programmable buttons are very cool. the new puck is very smooth and controllable. They have a 14 day trial. hmmmmmmm

In the backplot menu, go to display,appearance, look at the motion section at the bottom of the window.

Been covered many times before. Use the search button and type in watertight. Here's one: http://www.emastercam.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...t=012753#000000

Turn on tip comp, 0 breakthrough, 0 or 180 on tip angle.
-
60% lead in will gouge the wall. Do you have gouge check entry motion turned on? If so that is the problem. Turn it off and set your lead in/out to .025, should work like a charm.
-
Use circlemill, (Toolpaths,Next menu,circle paths,circlemill) just make sure the Exit/Entry arc sweep is less than 180 (I set mine at 120 most of the time) so comp will work correctly.
