this started happening from the latest window 7 update for me also i would the ability to expand the toolpath parameters when clicking the + button and the right click becomes ineffective on the lower tool bar to change attributes etc.
Makino all the way. may be pricey but you get what you pay for. Why not consider a 5 axis machine instead of a horiz. The mikrons from Agie are a good buy. You can always program 3+2 on those and still have full 5 axis capability when you need it.
Why do we always need a work around for Master Cam. You would think that what is being paid for Yearly Maintainence that we would get a version that works at least 99.999999% All these workarounds do is slow your production down.
F20 will give you a feedrate of 2.00 ipm F200 will give you 20.0 ipm. ilooked thru my Tnc 530 post and can't find where it is getting the feed rate from for the drilling cycle. there is a cycle def for reaming. your pecking depth has to be larger than the drilling depth for the machine not to peck
question
how do i set up MC to generate Plane spatial commands for a MIkron 5axis using Heidenhain T530 control?
i can only get it to generate Cycle 19
the tap drill for a 2-56 STI form tap is .1015. we run that all day long with no problems. make sure the thread gauge is for the correct class thread you are trying to produce. for a thread that small the difference in tolerance dimension is very minimal. my 2 cents
had this same problem when i upgraded to X4. the problem was the tools were still attached to the X3 tools directory. make sure all your tools are coming from the designated X5 directory. just a thought
