I have seen drill routines greatly increase backplot times compared to actual cycle times. Not sure why. I used to use it often in the past to determine cycle times but found that if I backplot everything but drill routines it was more accurate.

Mazak quick turn 15 with mazatrol CAM T-2 control.

Anyone ? -
Trying to help out a friend of my brother's. He has one of these lathe's and has somehow got a few parameters screwed up....and guess what....no parameter backup. Anyone got one of these machines and be willing to share a copy of your parameter settings.

Hey Malibu, Got any job vacancies there ? Must be tough in such a beautiful place.

Running X2 MR2 SP1. In older versions of Mastercam when I would run verify I was able to set up my stock size and toggle on "Use last size" and it would always keep them values stored. Now when I use the verify feature, even though I have "Use last size" toggled on I ALWAYS have to reset these values. What am I doing wrong that it will not store and keep these values ?

Always D+Z+ Crazy. Thanks Steve.

Is there a way to eliminate the Y data input box from the ribbon bar for a standard 2 axis lathe ?
-
Thank you.

Recently went from Version 8 to X MR2. When I create tool path's each one has more info than I care to see. Example Lathe Face (WCS:TOP)(T PLANE LATHE UPPER LEFT(TOP)FACE TO +.010" All I really need to see is LATHE FACE : FACE TO +.010" What do I need to change to keep all this info from appearing in each tool path ?

Mike Gates, Thanks. That appears to have fixed my problem.

Got a Hitachi Seiki. No live tooling no Y axis. Just a simple 2 axis machine. Recently purchased X2 MR2 package. I never need to be in any plane but D+ Z+ to program this machine. I find that after setting this plane as I need it that it will change to another plane. Is there a way to lock this plane in D+ Z+ to keep it from changing to something else ?

I have run a few lathes that allow an E command to control feed for threading. With an F command they were limited to 4 decimal places. Using E allowed 6 decimal place feed rates.

Is there a way to select say the center of the arc as your from point and the origin as the to point. This seemed pretty simple to do in 8. X form translate from center to origin. Are you saying that now i have to create geometry in order to accomplish this task ?
-
Well we finally upgraded from version 8 to X2 a few days ago. The first part I attempt with X2 is giving me a little trouble. Could someone please tell me how to use the 3d translate feature to get my part to x y z zero from a point it now resides.

On our Hitachi lathe a dwell is accomplished with a G4 command. It needs to be inserted right after the line for movement. Time is controlled with a P value. Example G1 Z-1.0 G4 P1.0 X 1.5 Here the machine will feed to Z-1.0, dwell for one second and then feed to X 1.5 HTH

Where you at in Colorado strabe ?
-
Forgot. In your groove shape page have you specified .002 fillet rads where you need them.
-
This may sound stupid but have you got the .002 radius geometry drawn or is the groove defined with only straight lines.

How far South you going Randle ?

Is there an easier way to use an inserted drill as a bring bar?
EZ3PUTT replied to DavidSV's topic in Industrial Forum
I do this quite often with insert drills and 2 flute end mills. I will program the first plunge using a drill cycle. For shift and bore I use a rough bore cycle creating a new tool and tool number. After posting I can delete just a couple lines of code to splice together the drill routine and the boring routine. Works well for me. -
I have in the past used a single point type threading bar to do thread milling with positive results. And if your looking to save time might it not be cheaper and faster to order the holder for the inserts you have.

4 levels deep mean that the main program calls up a subprogram, which in turn calls another subprogram etc. 4 times.

I cut a lot of peek here. Not really anything to be concerned about. The biggest problem is chip that is stringy and tends to wrap on the part. May need an M0 (stop)or 2 to clear chips. Our parts typically start on the lathe where I will face and turn, od groove, drill with an end mill and finish bore. Our biggest learning curve was that on our parts we have wall thicknesses of as little as .010". You cannot rough and then finish that. I take one pass groove cuts to finish wall thicknesses then remove the material between the walls. By the way what part of CA are you in ?

Hi all, any help is appreciated. Not to familiar with post modifications and have the following question. I find the following line on ptap in our post feed = (1 / n_tap_thds) * speed I have an M2 x 0.4 tap programmed for 1000 RPM. If my math is correct that should be a feedrate of 400mm. It post's with a feedrate of 2500 instead of 400. Fadal post Version 8.1

Micro 100 TM-375 solid carbide 4 flute single point tool wirked real nice. Got about 5 parts per cutter. I'm happy with the results. Now the engineers think it's standard operating procedure.
