Haas UMC-750, tools vary .006 from beginning to end of day.
mwc815 replied to 5AXIS505's topic in Industrial Forum
Make a warmup program with alot of Z moves to go along with the X and Y. Also gradually increase the spindle speed as it runs. Mine takes about 20 min to run and helps quite a bit. Mike -
This has happened several times in mc2024. Never happened in mc23 or earlier versions. Mike

I've had it happen several times. Using mc24, installed update 3 last week. It hasn't happened with this update yet.

Material database migration came in corrupted. Tried migration again on just that file, no good. Took mc23 database , converted to text, then mc24 converted from that text, still no good. Finally just copied the mc23 file and dropped into mc24 location and it seems correct. By no good I mean the values were different between the 2 databases. One material came in with a default cutting speed and feed per tooth of zero.I can't trust it right now. I'm doing one off parts, I'll try it in a couple weeks. Mike

I know, it took me 20 minutes to find "bounding box". Hiding it in a right click menu.
-
What I do is contour the top of the part, use ramp/depth with pass at final depth. Use computer comp, turn off roll around corners and infinite look ahead. For a cutter I use 1/8" 90 deg included chamfermill. Stock to leave at -.0575". This puts the tip .005" inside the contour. Linking depth -.006". Verify and adjust. If some letters are too narrow and are left out, try -.06" stock to leave. Mike

Why is this? It seems to be on older programs.

If you have cad data, you can measure the pilot hole size.

Programming multiple depths with a key cutter
mwc815 replied to Doug Funny's topic in Industrial Forum
That would work until someone clicks on the tool and resets the depth of cut values. -
I'm not saying he did something malicious. All I'm saying is I extracted the file, opened the folder and saw one of the two files disappear. The fixture file was still there and the x+ wasn't. I can't install something that is quarantined.

Norton flagged that with a virus
-
Ok. Earlier versions never used to do this.

If I start 2017 there is a machine def loaded. File, new = def loaded any mcam file, open = def loaded If I open any other type of file (step, x_t, sldprt) it switches to design and I have to manually add the machine def. It's kind of annoying. What am I missing? Thanks, Mike

I wonder how long Mastercam products will support Win 7 x64. I'm reluctant to upgrade to 10. My boss upgraded my previous computer and I lost the ability to communicate with the cnc machines. Mastercam X6 worked fine. Struggled for 1/2 a day, reverted to win 7 and everything worked immediately.

lost ability to open solidworks files after uninstall 2017 b4
mwc815 replied to mwc815's topic in Industrial Forum
That did it. Thank you -
I Recently set up a new pc, win7 x64. Have Mcam X6 and X9 installed. The Mcam X6 x+ html setup sheet saves to the mastercam part file folder on the server, while the Mcam X9 x+ setup sheet saves to the x+/reports folder on the C drive. How can I change the save location for the X9 version to the job folder? The job folder being different for each mastercam file. thanks, Mike

I use 1 machine group per part. Different setups are broken up into tool groups.

Struggled with this all day. I have a printer that i share with other computers. Worked from mine, not theirs. Go to check settings, win10 wants me to install a print app. WTF? Give up, revert to win7 and during startup the printer starts printing. Check the cnc and it sees the shared folder with the nc code. There goes a day I'll never get back. Oh yea, you have 30 days to revert to the old os. Back to work now. Mike

Ok, while I was away for the holiday my boss installed Windows 10 on my computer. I lost my communications to the cnc, but still have network/internet access. Computer has 2 network ports, 1 for the local network/internet and 1 that is connected to a Haas ethernet port. They are bridged and the ip is set to a specific address, while the Haas is set to an address that is 1 higher. I have a shared folder on the C drive that I save my programs into and load them into the cnc from the controller. While creating the network bridge for the 2 ports, I get a warning that the ip address is being used and it will only work for 1 of the ports. Using command/ipconfig, the settings are right. Ping sees the cnc. This method has been working for years on 4 computer/cnc setups using XP or Win7. I dont know if its win10, norton ow whatever else. I have about 4 hours into this and nothing works. Mike

ok, I can live with that. The tool is defined accutately, and it posts out the correct code. As long as noone clicks on the tool to reset it. thanks guys
-
I thought about that, but I might also want to do a conventional toolpath in the same program.

We just got a used Alberti right angle head. It is going to be mounted in a Haas VF series mill. By researching the forum, I was able to set up machine def. and alter the router post to generate code that works. The one bug I can't figure out is the spindle direction. M03 spins backwards. I can call it a left handed tool to make it spin the right way, but I really hate to lie about tool definitions. Any ideas? thanks, Mike

Am I understanding this correctly, you can no longer change the origin of the WCS standard views? Thats ok for new work, but what about the thousands of existing files that have a different origin points in say the bottom or front view?
