It's funny how you get so used to your settings for so long that you can't remember where to change them......
Just hired a new night guy that isn't too familiar with X platform so we are training him. He keeps changing things accidentally, and I keep relearning buttons/settings I haven't used in years .....brain fart 101
Backplot kept coming on before doing toolpath.......I just always keep it in run mode,not trace....couldn't remeber where to switch it
CRS rears it's ugly head

Thanks Brad . I will run some of our programs on both. I do alot of 3d surfacing so I will need the speed and accuracy for vice size parts.
-
Yep. I uploaded the latest and greatest from here and it works fine when it's in the right place lol
I will check out the tools...thanx
-
Yep......works fine now. saved it in the my doc's folder instead of public. Can't read what it can't see ! lol
Thanks for the guidance

The way the logic is written in to the post, if mr1 = 2 then it will output at every z level.
I dont know that I am the best person to help you with this because I am horrible at explaining things to people. To solve this particular issue,
look for this line.
if mr1$ = 2, #AI-NANO 2, AI(nano)CC output (Artificial Intelligence Contour Control) - G05.1 Q1
And add
& mr1_flg <> 2
It should look like this when you are done.
if mr1$ = 2 & mr1_flg <> 2, #AI-NANO 2, AI(nano)CC output (Artificial Intelligence Contour Control) - G05.1 Q1
BUT!
If you change the mr2 value in any of the following operations that use the same tool, it will output the G49 and high speed code again to change the R value (precision level). That is assuming that you are setting that value at all.
Here's the post updated :
phsm1_on #High speed functions before G43
if opcode$ = 3 | opcode$ = 16,
[
mr1$ = 0
mr2$ = 0
]
if mr1$ = 1 & mr1_flg <> 1, #Advanced Preview (look-ahead) control - G08 P1
[
pbld, n$, "G08", "P1", e$
mr1_flg = 1
]
if mr1$ = 2 & mr1_flg <> 2, #AI-NANO 2, AI(nano)CC output (Artificial Intelligence Contour Control) - G05.1 Q1
[
pbld, n$, *sg49, e$ #Must be in G49 and remain before G43
if ipr_type > 1, ipr_type = 0 #Must be in G94
pbld, n$, sgfeed, e$
pbld, n$, "G05.1", "Q1", [if mr2$, "R", no_spc$, *mr2$], e$ #Mr2 gives accel/decel value/coefficient, usually R or P
mr1_flg = 2
]
# HPCC is working when called before G43.4 on Fanuc 31i
# if mr1$ = 3 & mr1_flg <> 3, #AI-HPCC and AI-nanoHPCC (High Precision Contour Control) - G5 P10000
# [
# if ipr_type > 1, ipr_type = 0 #Must be in G94
# pbld, n$, sgfeed, e$
# pbld, n$, "G05", "P10000", [if mr2$, "R", no_spc$, *mr2$], e$
# #pbld, n$, "G05.1", "Q2", e$ #auto arc filtering
# mr1_flg = 3
# ]

This is basically a post question, but not having much luck in the post processor topics. This question was part od another topic.
Anyway, when I enter #2 in misc. for AICC highspeed function, my post (MPMaster ) kicks ou the proper code. However it also kicks it out at every z depth change and tool change. This poses a problem because it's accompanied by G49 which sends z home and errors out the machine. It doesn't do every z depth change on surface toolpaths ,but it does in 2d.
Anyone else getting this ? Is this something my minimal post editing skills can change ?
When I edit it manually, I simply put it at the beginning and end of each program and it works fine.

Thnx for the input fellas. Just saw your vid too Joe.Those are definately feeds I need to achievs. is it my understanding that the MB has the Supernurbs as standard and the Genos has it as an option ? Still haven't read thru ALL the literature yet
-
Thanks Doug. Nice vid's. Woo hoo ,She's a crankin! For a 40 taper that was some pretty rigid cutting. Getting a 15,000 spindle makes it more attractive too. I do alot of tool steel and hardmilling for small form die sections and looking for a small highspeed rigid machine. Some of our hardmilling is roughed and then h.t. 55-60 Rc, but looking for something that can do more hardmilling post h.t. Mine current machine is limited. My work envelope is typically within 6"x 6" and alot of small tools 2~6 mm.
That Isky .75 chatter free chip load is incredible....wonder how long those edges last.
I would definately like to see a vid on the Big Plus diference

Comparing the GENOS M460 to the MB-46V. It's my understanding that all the mechanicals are made in Taiwan on the Genos. Just wondering if there has been a noticeable difference in quality, rigidity, etc . I like the Genos for the price, but really need higher rpm spindle that comes on the MB.
-
Anybody have any experience with Okuma Genos M series vmc's ? Looking for any and all input if ya got it
-
I have really good luck with Sumitomo GS series . I usually use GS4's (4x dia) and they love aggressive cutting in hard, tough and gummy materials. Typically run them in the 120-160 sfm range with anything from .004-.006.......

How do I interpret the GData table to see what tool is in what pot? Is there a way to assign a tool number to an empty pot? I've been looking for a way to do this forever, it would really help us cut down on change over time.
I'm not sure how long ago your service issues were but Hardinge and Bridgeport machines were switched to a new distributor network a year or or two ago. Your distributor for parts and service will be either Gosiger, Morris, or Hartwig. They cover the entire USA except for our Territory (MN, SD, ND).
Regarding your earlier post about the tool#-pot# in a OiMC control. You can go into the GData table and see what tool is which pot any time. You just have to know what the numbers mean. When I do new machine install training I show the operators where and how to do this.
Anybody have any input on this subject they can share ? Where can I find what the numbers mean ? I don't have ALL the manuals.....

When I enable this on my Mpmaster (same controller) , it re issues a G49 and G5.1Q1 at each depth cut. The G49 sends the z back home on the second depth cut. How can I change it so it only posts both lines at the beginning of the op and not every z change ?
-
pevek, I typically do what Jay is saying whenever possible , too. Just bring in your solid and you can add wireframe for just what you need for boundaries or whatever. Bringing in a model with all the wireframe just adds to file size when you don't always need it for machining. Use the solids chaining option in your toolpaths....quick and easy.
-
I couldn't see the video. It sounds like you are importing a file that is getting wireframe in X4, but no wireframe in X6.
Are you importing these models from a different format....iges, step,sldprt etc ?
If you are, then go to your configuration in X6 and look under converters. See if the "edge curves" button is checked. It migh be checked in X4 but not in X6
Also, use your screen/ statistics drop down to seen exactly what entities are on your screen.....
-
Create /curve/curve on all edges.....select your solid or surfaces. This will create your wireframe on the whole part. You can also use "Curve on one edge" and select just the edges you want instead of the whole part.
-
SledGeek,
Seems that toolpath solid-face display is improved in X7.... If I ask a toolpath to show me check surfaces, I do not see the drive surfaces any more!
-
The ability to use toolpath/surface selection to show with solids/faces. .....without converting to surfaces ! I just can't remenber every face I select for drive or check.....and God forbid I get interrupted while doing it !
-
Nice Rush quote cadman ; ) used it plenty of times !
-
Check out CNC cookbook.....google it
-
The shuttle comes all the way into position.....no restricted movement, after checking everything. It's electrical, best i can tell . Something isn't recognizing that the atc is in position or something else isn't in position.Been getting several alarms including mag lost it's position. I don't know what yet.
Hot die due by Friday.....one tool at a time with no atc. Painful....very,very painful lol
-
Thnx fellas. I will check both. I think the switch is ok for the position. It will give me an error if I hit it while shuttle is retracted.......it's working at least to some extent
-
2006 Hardinge xv710 Fanuc 0i-mc
I have a shuttle type atc that won't cooperate. It will start the toolchange....z postion, spindle orient, shuttle moves into position....then just stops. It doesn't alarm out even tho it's timed out. It will sit for what seems to be forever. I can hit reset and use M122 to put it back into position and then it gives me alarm" 1050 atc not ready (A1.0) "
I'm guessing spindle orientation is fine.....no alarm
It has also twice given me alarm 1050 mag not oriented (A2.3). I went through the XV shuttle tool change fault recovery from builder which includes pocket/mag orientation to spindle, etc. That's seems to be ok.
Gettin nothing but repeat stoppage of shuttle at spindle .......
This was started by just doing a toolchange in a program.......no power surges or resets in the middle of the tool change
Anybody ???
Machine still runs...heh, manual tool changes and copying z offsets .......
Where is that button ???

yeah...i found it Aaron, thanx. Just took several minutes of wtf's. Just kinda laughin at myself.....
