Good morning all,
When re-post all the old programs, i always get "R.1 and Q.1" in my G83 canned cycle.
is there any one seeing this or only me? if it is the case, can some one show me how to fix it.
Thanks for all the reply Guys.
I have this M4300 about 2 years, 10 months and I was doing just fine until 3 month ago.
The video card went down and Dell came out to replace the mother broad. Since then I started to have all kind of trouble with every piece of software that need open GL. It will cause my screen stop response and some time gives me a blue screen of death. I called Dell again and again but they said it was a software problem and they have nothing to do with it and ask me to call Microsoft. I think, I have it enough.
My new toy is on its way.
M4500 with i7/620m and Fx1800 for $1,100 from dell outlet
Thanks again and happy thanks giving.
Thanks gcode.
I did try driver version 260.99 on nvidia web side and it did not work for me.
I also tried, certified driver for solidwork at solidwork web side, driver R191014 at dell web side and none of them work for me either.
Then, I called dell service and they said it was software problem and refused to help me out.????
Well, i got stuck here. May be time for a new toy.
Thanks for the reply.
Good morning guys,
I am having a problem with my graphic card ( Dell laptop M4300 with nvidia FX360m). Could somebody please tell me what is the best driver for this model?
Thanks in advance.
For cutter comp. you may need this
Code
-----------------------------------
# Cutter compensation G code selection
scc0 : "G40" #Cancel cutter compensation
scc1 : "G41 D[#599]" #Cutter compensation left
scc2 : "G42 D[#599]" #Cutter compensation right
sccomp : "" #Target for string
-------------------------------------
and find cutter comp. section
code
-------------------------------------
pccdia #Cutter Compensation
#Force Dxx#
if prv_cc_pos$ <> cc_pos$ & cc_pos$, prv_tloffno$ = c9k
sccomp
if cc_pos$,#tloffno$
--------------------------------------
and just "Post and Go"
Hope it helps.
Thanks Tim,
Even with the help from vericut forum, i was still not be able to make the vericut add up the dwelltime in the part cycle time. But i have to move on because we are very busy right now.
I will be back in this topic when i have more time and more experience with vericut ( we just had vericut about 3 or 4 weeks)
Thank you for your help and have a nice weekend.
I tried dwelltime with the value 1000 and then $/1000 but did not see any different ( the cycle time still stay exact the same). i dont think "P1000" will work with "G81".
Thanks for your help and happy friday.
I got it working ( no more error for P1000) but i did not see anytime added up in part cycle time as it should. I tried the dwelltime with value of 1000, $/1000. Am i missing something??
Hello guys,
I know, we have alot of vericut user here.
Please help me fix this one.
Code
******************** TOOLPATH WARNING REPORT ********************
Warning for line 77
G98 G82 Z-.26 R.1 P1000 F11.
P 1000 is not configured in this control
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not want my machine to ignore it. I would like my machine add this dwell time in part cycle time as well.
Second question:
Is there any way i can set up vericut to detect the oversize hole before tap???
i am using V7.0.3
Thanks in advance
Here is what i got from Vericut forum.
------------------------------------
Display your Project tree
Select the Attach component branch in the tree
In the Configure Component panel in the bottom of the Project tree, Translate tab
Position = 0 0 2.5
By moving this component, the stock and fixture will be translated 2.5 inch
---------------------------------
Happy holiday
Thank you very much and i have another question. All my machines have a sub plate about 2.5" thick ontop of machine table and my question is:
is there any way i can change the machine config.or setting up the vericut? so when i create a stock, my stock alway sit on top of sub plate not on top the mahine table?
Thanks in advance
Just had a vericut V7.0.3 installed today and i ran into little problem.
Using Mazak nexus 510c in vericut library, and i try to run machine simulation and got these error:

Could somebody please show me how to fix this??
I already tried vericut forum and have no luck yet.
Thanks in advance
Been there, done that!!!
We are using a marco 9998 to check our tools and turn on/off with mi5. If it is the case, this is how i did it.
in section
"Common User-defined Variable Initializations "
code
--------------------------------------
sav_mi5 : 0 # Declared for capture
---------------------------------------
in section
"ptlchg_com #Tool change common blocks"
code
-------------------------------------------
phsm1_on #must remain before G43
# pbld, n$, "G43", *tlngno$, pfzout, scoolant, next_tool$, e$
pbld, n$, "G43", "H#51999", pfzout, scoolant, next_tool$, e$
sav_mi5=mi5$ # added tool check
--------------------------------------------
in section
"ptlchg0$ #Call from NCI null tool change "
code
------------------------------------
if coolant$ = 1, sm09 = sm09_0
if coolant$ = 2, sm09 = sm09_1
if coolant$ = 3, sm09 = sm09_2
if op_id$ <> last_op_id, pstock
if sav_mi9 = 1, workofs$ = sav_workofs
sav_mi5=mi5$ # added tool check
-------------------------------------
in section
"pretract #End of tool path, toolchange"
code
-------------------------------------
if sav_mi5 = 1, pbld, "M98 P9998 (TOOL CHECK)", e$ # added check tool
-------------------------------------
Hope it save you a little bit time
