Anyone familiar with G&L horizontal with Numeripath 8000B controller? Purchased post,but not familiar with W/Z tracking and MC.

Any thoughts?

I have a new machine to program,no one here has any experience with. Mori Seiki sh-400 horizontal mill.i'm using Mastercam X-6 with cimco editor.How do i set the machine control up to recieve my program?Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tim

Thanks,

I know the formula,I just had to create a tool with the correct pitch and save it.

Running X6,I'm using a metric config. and want to tap with a 3/8-16 english tap.I cant seem to get pitch/feed rate right.Wrong settings?

Thanks,Tim

The Cimco edit V5 that comes with Mastercam is a OEM version.

 

The version you downloaded is a stand alone version. To run the V6 (the version you downloaded) you need to purchase a key from your reseller. The version you downloaded has a few more features in it such as backplot and a calculator built in it which can be very useful tools.

Thanks, it makes sense now.Will have to check the price.

I run X5 with cimco edit 5 no problem.I downloaded V6 and it is only a demo version and is looking for a key. In V5 help,about, it shows X2 license.Where do i look for this?

Thanks

Thanks,will try it.I have to learn on the fly so it takes longer.

Have a new to me SH400 horizontal mill.MSC 518 control. I want to program the machine to identify the pallet in machine and index the pallet out at the end of a program,any ideas?M30 will rotate out only if staging light is on,then gives error warning program not found.
