That's sounds like a good explanation to me. That would mean Scientific doesn't quite have the correct geometry for a threadmill situation.
-
The only thing I see in John's post that might come close is #4 the tool overhang. Its a .150 shank the OD is .27 but we're going about .75 to.8 deep. The tool was indicated for runout and it was within .0003
-
We've checked the tool and all parameters in the program look good. I looked in the micro-100 catalog and geometry for a lathe tool matches what we have but our threadmill is a 4 flute. .028 flat into the 29deg incl angle. A stub acme tool has a .033 flat. The lathe tool is obviously a single point tool. Again...its not the gage.
-
As I said gages are good. They've been verified. For some reason the tool "is" cutting oversize. We not even to the proper thread depth. Should we try a single point tool? If you haven't threadmilled an acme thread of this size then we might be treading water here. If you have ...what kind of tool did you use?
-
I keep mistyping here. the no go "goes" before the go....
-
And yes the PD must be bad. Have you threadmilled an acme thread before. Gages have all been verified.
-
Whoops---yes the no go goes before the no go.
-
Having trouble threadmilling a 3/8-12 acme internal. The go gage goes before the no go. We're using a 4 flute thread mill from Scientific. The specs on the threadmill look ok. Program looks good. We've got taps on order but I'd like to figure out why this isn't working. Would a single point do the trick? Thanks,

In grooving I've used the finish contour when the grooving cycle didn't work the way I wanted.
-
I only modify once. Dealing with families of parts. I sometimes save part operations for future use.
-
The problem we had was with simple contours. The file isn't all that large, the one in reference is only about 2.5 meg.
-
It appears you have some very large files and I think these problems are due to how mastercam handles ram.
-
As I stated I use the copy & paste as a work around but Keith seems to have had trouble with that too. I haven't had any problems with the copy & paste.
-
There seems to be a problem with the cut and paste of operations. I cut and pasted operations everything seemed fine. Posted and saved it. I had to make a change and when I reopened the file the operations I had cut and pasted were dirty and it duplicated all the tools in those ops...it was a mess. Work around is not to use cut & paste. Use the copy and paste,, then go back and delete the unwanted ones. Or the drag method can be used without losing the files integrity.

Most have a key on the control but you have to be it in edit mode to load the programs and clear the memory. You would need to designate someone to be the key holder.
-
Thanks, it looks a little different for the codes but it gives me a direction I'll compare to the book
-
I need a little more of the opening prep and closing codes like M91 to activate c-axis... Thanks
-
a code sample
-
I could use a sample for a drilled cross hole on the c-axis with a fanuc 21i/-T control on Nakamura SC-250. The programming book doesn't give a very good example.
-
Wanted- turn/mill post for SC-250 with Fanuc 21i/-T control. Thanks if you do
-
Yes, we have a net license here and the IT guy set it up so we can work from home. It is possible but I couldn't tell you what he did.
-
All tool headings, tool length offset, rotation moves and more are missing.
-
I'll check that out tomorrow.
-
I'm posting this again...As it turns out when we upgraded to X2 MR1 SP1 our 5 axis posts ceased to post correctly. We have contacted our reseller for some help but this totally baffles us. They work in our X2 not the upgrade.
-
I had this post working in X...somehow in the transition to x2 it became corrupted. I might just start from scratch. I have other 5x posts that were originally converted from 9 and I have the same problem.
