I guess.... you have to recreate the geometry you just deleted, so you just as well recreate the operation too....

CAM ASSIST - any experience out there yet?
Newbeeee™ replied to Sumac Andy's topic in Industrial Forum
Just seen Tie Ton pushing it. BuBuBu BOOM! -
DOGEy....

This. Both of this.

Even better would be ditching windowze and running Linux....

Disconnect all your workstations from the web and run them as intranet only. I had 12 years 100% trouble free doing this with 6 PCs.... Had the 1 additional standalone for interwebz and emails....

Sisters funeral....clearing house.... decorating....selling.... contacting everyone... probate.... holy moly spensive now. Spend so far in rental and flights etc is 5k...

And smaller multiflute cutters where flutes are constantly engaged rather than large 2 flute bang bang banging the material off....

Errrr oh....yous got me thunking now and scratching my memory banks. Can't check my stuff as it's currently 1000 miles south as I'm currently back in UK. The straightening i was referring to was a 2% (by memory) pull, so it straightens but also relieves stress.... but i canny remember if that's 651 or 6511.
-
Someone did good in buying material that was controlled stretched and straightened (stress relieved) prior to you machining it (ie T6511). At least you started with the best option available over just normal T6.... BTW....measure your good parts again in a week....:lol:
-
Adding....you'll be absolutely amazed at what tolerances are allowed with the manufacture of wrought product. Granted, although plus and minus is allowed on thickness/width, usually "size" is slightly under as the manufacturers don't like giving material away. Thickness, straightness etc allowable deviations an be massive and as your part is long, "straight" is a relative term....

Anyone know how cutting tools are manufactured?

They need to remember the golden rule, that if you're constantly chasing insolvency, you're far better off sitting on a beach in the sun drinking beer. Because both lead to bankruptcy, but the beach has far lower overhead, so what money you have left actually lasts far far longer. -

I used to do that until the ol eyes went fuzzy! -
Perhaps....create what you want, everything listed in the format you want, and ask Pete?

I've beat the X+ drum for many years for the 1x click for cycle time and to check settings such as H=D, coolant, G54 etc but only ever used it for prototyping for a tool list. For real set sheet with customer part# Rev# tool list and datums etc, i did use a custom AR. Outputting as pdf (as Mcam didn't pay for the MS Word option, although AR can output it). So it was pdf, and to edit, the best thing i found was Nitropdf.

+1....and a few pantie wearers were constantly bunched far too tight.... Ronaldo - to add to others and especially to underline what the Super Honey Badger said, your inputs have been immense over the years. Not just Mcam, but methodology, process, and general life with all the experiences This place created life-long friendships - it was great. -
No need to apologise. Some of these guys here are from Southern American states and I struggle to understand their English The way I see it, is you either alter your autolisp program to output long code removing the G83 and replacing all with long hand code, or you change your machine parameter for the rapid. Changing the rapid, will also change for all rapids though. So it would be best, to alter your autolisp program....
-
With mastercam changed to output G1 long hand instead of the G cycles, you still 'gram as you normally would. No difference. Post automatically outputs long hand so your process is identical. Program loads to machine identical. Machine processes identical. So i don't understand the "wasting time" because all the 'gramming and processing is the same - and it's only a ix off so let it run
-
SO much this! That's what I was referring to - standardisation so the operators get an easier time
-
The problem with all 'grammers having their different preferences, is unless they prove the prog on the machine themselves, you've got the operators seeing different settings etc.... and "someone" really needs to be overall control of everything (control/machine/posts) to avoid meddling, and to lock out everyone else. "standardisation is a wonderful thing, if only people would do it"....
-
More clicks = Better errrr....
-
The point is, you don't have to use G83. You can long hand code the drilling with plain 'ol Z values and F values.... The machine won't care....
-
Well done for looking at all the thorough questions. Your boss is actually looking only at the price, where you are looking at the overall cost! As G said, trials is the only real answer as everyone has different parts, different machines, different holders, different coolant, and different strategies with their 'grammin.
