I'm running mcamx(msr2)With a fadal 6535 vertical machining center. The problem I'm having is when I set my cutter comp to wear setting it seems to work on dia, but when I try to contour a line it does not seem to work. Any suggestions % N100E01 N110G90G80G40G17G00 N120M6T1*----- TOOL # 1 OFFSET # 1 ----- N130M3S3053 N140G8 N150G0X-.4575Y-4.7 N160H1Z2.M9 N170Z.15 N180G1Z-.05F7. N190G41D1Y.7F50.

I was having similar problems, when I used the force tool change option it cleared everything right up for me. Try that

I found the sg28ref line and put a # in front of it and now it gives me an error when i try to post..........any suggestions

Thats funny! I'm not sure....I'll have to do some research. I'll see if i can find the g28 call out. Thanks

I'm having problems programming, Haas tool room lathe with mastercam x. I'm using the generic Fanuc post. For the most part it seems to work, but can anyone tell me how to take out the g28 move to home command before each tool change. The other question is do I have to set the g54 position to the part or not. The current operator says he never set the off sets he only sets the tool length and x offset to each tool. But I noticed in the control the fixture offsets, just like the vertical mills that I am used to. Is there a better post that I should be using??????? Thanks, Seth

The Force tool change worked Great...... Thanks, Seth

I've assigned an offset to each tool path including the first one. Still no luck, I wonder why it will change with a tool change in-between each offset

I've noticed that if I change tools it will post the offset. But if I use the same tool and change the offset, as to duplicate a part it will not post the change.

I Checked the wsc and the box is checked and i have the work offset number the same as the misc. No change still post the same.

It seems that whatever I change the misc value to under interger 1 to changes the fixture offset number. But only on the first line of code it wont change each tool path for instance.

Not sure why it wont post like it should.

I'm trying to set my fixture offsets in mastercamx Msr2, but for some reason if I post the entire program the only fixture offset call out am at the beginning off the program e01. If I post each tool path separately then the offset changes to what I want. I'm running a fadal format1 I'm sure what post I'm using the company had it when I got here. I set my tool off sets under planes. Also I was wondering if the misc button has anything to do with it..... Thanks, Seth

"have you notice that you have a g40 right after the line with g41." I'm Not sure why its posting like that.

I'm not sure what you mean by lead in. G41 means cutter comp left, is the G41D3 using cutter comp left and offset 3 in the controller? I'm not really sure how that works. Do i need the g41 or could i turn the comp totally off in mastercamx. Then set the tool dia in the controller????????????

The only call out I see is g41, that’s with comp in computer and with comp in controller.

I was wondering if someone could lead me in the right direction, I'm trying to use cutter dia in the control (32mp controller) to allow the operators to control stock. It seems no matter what I change the dia. to it cuts the same. I’ve tried turning the cutter comp in mastercamx msr2 to controller and that didn’t work either. Any tips??????? thanks

I work @ 13 and grosbeck, CHS AUTOMATION.

Where in roseville are you from....do you work here or in roscommon.......

I'm using mastercamx (MR2)and I'm located in roseville mi. Thanks I'll Try that.

Here's the question. Is there a way to program your fixture offsets in mastercamx. (For a fadal being e01,e02 ect. and then also haas g54, g55ect.)It seems that I always have to program them after I post the NC file. thanks

Thanks the G53 works great now I have to figure out how to raise my tool before it returns to the part.....CRASH OOOOOOOOOPS

I was just wondering is someone could answer a question. I'm trying to send a machine to its home position between tool changes because of tool clearance on the tool change. I'm running a fadal 16x20 using fadal format one. Is there a g code command to send to the machine home position or possibly a m command? Thanks, seth
