Which steel ? If 1018-1500RPM and 25IPM, but it all depends on your depth and radial amt.

NOTW Programmer replied to Incognito's topic in Industrial Forum
Would you cover, relocation expenses. Im in California, have been in the industry for 10+ years, 7 of which I have had personnel under me. I am familiar with ERP, and MasterCAM X6, I can setup and operate mills and lathes, naturally program them aswell, I have an AS in Electronics and Comunnications, and working towards an AS in Engineering Technology. -
Getting my Work offset right from file New
NOTW Programmer replied to Fred @ Slate Industries's topic in Industrial Forum
You can set, in the view manager, the current tool plane to 8. That should give you E9 since 0 is E1. -
The only time I see the model rotate is when I have the rotary axis activated in the Operation itself. You might need to get a third party like Vericut, I believe there is an option True Solid which is supposed to do the same for the 5Ax toolpaths.

Have you enabled the Retract box on the operation tree ? -
MPMaster to output Gcode on every line
NOTW Programmer replied to Manuel0822's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
What manual or information is available to find everything needed to modify posts. I have learned several things here and on my own, because of my access and electronics background. Is the a manual or post modification training book ? -
MPMaster to output Gcode on every line
NOTW Programmer replied to Manuel0822's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
Why not change it to *psgcode instead ? -
I run alot of SS304 I would use; .0125ap, .0625ae, 7500RPM, 16.5IPM, 4-Flute SCB, .25LOC. These are Titan Endmills, pretty cheap, other brands may have different parameters.
-
You have to crate an offset entity equal to half the tool you are using, plus any material you want to leave for finishing.
-
It is the files themselves poiting to the old location, when ever I open an older file that used a prior version of MasterCAM I have to update all the paths as I use them.
-
Thats right the X NHasp will support V9, we have done this here at work for the same reason. Altough it shutsdown whenever I close V9.
-
I have used Multi-DNC and have had no problems, they do Ethernet and Wireless now. Here is the link http://www.multi-dnc.com/products_MultiDNC.php

Rt click the MCAM shortcut on the desktop, go to the target "C:\Program Files\mcamx6\Mastercam.exe" and add /M outside the apostrophe. That should start MCAM in Mill.
-
Minimize the browser and the yes button along with the "don't ask again" should be visible now.
-
The walls are different widths, contour would create some air cuts along the long edge of the pocket. Nothing wrong with Dynamic Area Mill but I would like to have the tool enter the pocket from the inside and attack the material from there, rather than do an entry move.
-
How would you machine this with Dynamic toolpaths, I have X6 and the only way was to create a dummy roughing op to remove the middle, then user Dynamic Rest. Is there a better way.
-
Well how big can you go, we machine some 6" pipe; it would have to be a pretty long endmill. I would load these on a 4th axis and machine one side at a time.

M09 Turn Off Coolant Sooner
NOTW Programmer replied to Gcode66's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
+1 K2csq7™, Our machines have no problem with two M codes on the same line, now our HAAS lathes a different animal. I had no need to hardcode my M9 as our machines support it, but what K2csq7™ did above works for those that need the code in that format. -

M09 Turn Off Coolant Sooner
NOTW Programmer replied to Gcode66's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
I dont think you can place it directly there as it would involve the pzout variable and it might output a coolant code on every line there is a Z, however I placed it next to the M05 which is the line right below what you wanted and this is on a separate block. pbld, n$, sccomp, *sm05, scoolant, psub_end_mny, e$ <------- added scoolant here The code looks like N124 Z.2 N126 G0 Z.25 N128 M5 M9 <-----M9 before the move home ! N130 G91 G28 Z0. N132 A0. N134 M01 -
need help when using G17
NOTW Programmer replied to goran55's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
Then you must place a conditional statement that chages the dia_mult from 2 to 1 and back to 2 after milling ops are complete, something along the lines of: if cuttype = 4, dia_mult = 1 ... And towards the end of the mill tool change, set it back like this: dia_mult = prv_dia_mult What are you trying to do a C-axis contour or a Cross conntour. I fired up my debugger and used the same post as you and got a good output. -
need help when using G17
NOTW Programmer replied to goran55's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
Which post are you using, In-House or MPMaster. Have you tried the Generic post to see what the output looks like. Under Machine Specific Settings dia_mult : 2 #Multiplier for output on X axis (Neg. switches sign of X) Try changing that to 1 like the value for Y and Z are. -
An image would help !

Got it to work with a dummy PKT rough, rest now starts where the pkt left off the 1.75" through hole and dynamically approaches the rest of the PKT.
-
Use Area Mill to machine the entire pocket then drill the thru hole, I ve been trying to machine this but it always wants to machine from the center out.
