Hello: Is there any special code needed to add the the Heidenhein control for high speed options? Currently looking to write/(modify) this for a potential new customer? I will be using the Heidenhein TNC (ISO) format.. Thanks for letting me know...

seein g that your i Georgia, contact Al Drost... he'll be able to help you out

In the control panel (or Mastercam control applet)...goto "components"... then C:McamX3commonsworksdatSwDocumentMgr.dll.. right mouse click ...select register component... you may have to unregister then register

editting the control defintion as well as the post processor...For some new to this just be patient you'll get thru it What machine / post are you using??

Jay Man: give me a shout if this didn't work.. I'll walk you thru it

remaching is just that.. it nibbles out the internal corners.... we use it quite a bit If you want full path around perimeter... use contour

ALT-C Dynpock.dll in X3 Mu1

yes the encription was modified in X3 ... even if it was a version 8, it will make X3 not run

CNC software has a "document" as what to do... but you may have to go thru your dealer to get the information

John: Thank you.... I have a customer who is asking about milling with "R A" heads

John: clicked on the link.. now looking at the "FTP" site... I don't see it under the unspecified uploads... what is the file name called?? Can you please let me know

Ow.. what's with the yelling??

Dennis: gotta remember one thing ... Backplot / Verify is "pre-processed" g-code... only way for sure of a perfect part is to use vericut / cimco / meta-cut

July 15 /16 is our X4 rollout and our webinar is the 21st... Gotta take my son to Jim Kelly Camp then end of June and into July... so once I get back OptiPro will be ready

what post are you using .. ther use to be mpboss10.pst on the version 9 CD it should be really close

Also.. you cant try "meta-cut" utilities .. it has a free trial period...it is simply awesome www.nwdesigns.com check it out

Murraymold: You can also use toolpaths, point then goto a location... but then under the canned text you would have to modify a statement for dwelling also.. just another option

typically cutter comp is not recommended to be turned on while on an arc.. typically it should be on a linear (G1) line of code then go to the G2/ G3 statement

Del: I tried that.. got hold of the Service tech.. they want a copy of the "ladder logic" so I am sending that as well as the g-code program Thanks

M00 worked with no errors, but now every time I have to hit "CYCLE START" for every toolchange Any other ideas ??

oops.. sorry its a fanuc 18iM not a 0M control... however I will try the "M00" instead

Hello: Here is a simple program that alarms on the "M01" line of code I have the mechine set up to run off the memory card but since this is such a small program I loaded this in the fanuc control.. I went to run it but it alarms (078 member not found) on the M01 (line 210) of the code just before Toolchange...

specprogrammer Call Hurco and ask for Gerry Traicoff... He is very good at helping / explain what would be needed ph: 800-634-2416 Hope this helps

John: I was wondering if that is what he had... one of the programmers left and went to another company..so now this gentleman is running the other computer seat and thta what they use for the setup sheets -- thanks john
