Hi,
I downloaded the 2019 Generic Haas ST 4X MT_Lathe post from MaterCam website ( Tech exchange).
I'm cutting a face contour. when I activate the Misc. Integer 4, my X values comes out way too small even negative X values.
How can I fix this?
I attached a sample file.
Thank you,
ST20 Test.mcam
I bought the post from Postability but working with DMG is a totally different story. The post is not outputting the correct codes. I have to tell them what needs to be changed. I do not get any help from DMG. I'm not worry about ultrasonic part of yet.
Thank you for your help.
Hopefully one of those 700 machines out there runs by MasterCam.
I'm not worry about Ultrasonic part of it now. Just trying to get the 5axis stuff to work. 3+2, 5axis drilling, and simultaneous 5axis.
SUPA
CYCLE800
CYCLE832
Thanks,
Hi,
I'm trying to troubleshoot our purchased post for our DMG Ultrasonic 20 linear 5Axis machine. I'm not getting much of help from DMG and I'm not familiar with Siemens 840D control.
Does anyone here have this machine in their shop that he is willing to share some G-Code sample?
I can provide a programmed sample part.
Thank you.
You need to change your post.
Try these settings.
#Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms)
#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane
rotaxis1$ = vecx #Zero
rotdir1$ = vecy #Direction
#Secondary axis angle description (in machine base terms)
#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis and this plane normal
#are aligned to calculate the secondary angle
rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero
rotdir2$ = -vecx #Direction
Thank you for testing. But somehow it is not working here. I'm using metric machine definition which should not effect the output I think.
I will test with different posts to see the results.
Hi,
How can I output all my values in radius instead of diameter? I need to output some G-codes for our grinder.
I’m using Generic Haas 4x MT Lathe post.
Thank you.
Hi,
We just bought a Mitsui Seiki Vertex55II 5axis machine with a Fanuc 31i M control. I am trying to find out which type TCP should I use for this machine so I can dial in my post.(Type 1 G43.4 A,B,C ) or (Type 2 G43.5 I,J,K ). I asked the application engineer but he said you can use either one. Does anyone have this machine?
Thank you.
