  1. I did the way as iowajim62 states. Simulation of turret will be very helpful for lathe guys. regards! Chao
  2. uncoated carbide insert, grade H13A
  3. sometime it works to play tolerance.
  4. 1, need to draw half of the geom. 2, from setup page, define tailstk 3, from toolpath/misc.ops/tailstk, engage or retract. regardS! Chao
  5. We have two mori lathe with twin turrets. the controls are Fanuc 15 AT. We modified the post from PMLfanuc. the main things are the bottom turret work on X+ instead of X-. The G2s and G3s need to switch over each other for the bottom turret. We use manual entry to do the synchronizing to output Ms codes. HTH, Chao
  6. just for discussion: In order to obtain the form deviations (straightness, flatness, roundness and circilarity),two steps have to be gone through: step#1 - collect data Generally the data collected by indicator or CMM or whatever are not the deviation value. step#2 - process data setting up two "parallel" geometries on data themself by NIMMAX principle, then the distant between the two"parallel" geometries is the deviation value. Parallelism and Flatness have nothing to do each other no matter what how perfect they are. regards!
  7. in RoughParameters or FinishParameters window, there is a tab of RoughDirections or Finish Directions there you can play around.
  8. 1, Number all the dimentions on your print. 2, Analyze your model one by one in accordance with numbers on your print. you get one dim analyzed, you highlight the dim on print. 3,Features are not dimensioned on your print means they are not required for inspected, just cut with the model. Anyhow you need to analyze small corner to select cutter. HTH
  9. Can you try to convert surfaces into solid and then scale them?
  10. quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wonder what a CNC programmer in China earns? -------------------------------------------------- 1 bowl of rice?????? ---------------------------- Maybe half bowl of rice. Let's say one meal would cost $10 US in North America, the half is $5, times 8.25 should be 41.25 RMB (Chinese money yuan), times 2080 hrs should be 85800 RMB, say, $10400 US. this is what they making there in China. Listen, this is not a small number for people living in China. More Qs?
  11. That would be a great benefit for us if so.
  12. Is Vericut able to simulate two turrets (upper and down) or two spindles (main and sub)turning centers? thnaks.
  13. the other way you can do is adding one or more points before and after geometry chain. in this way you can lead your tool (boring bar) along the route you want.
  14. Or open the gear.doc in the folder of chook in mastercam, you may find some tips in it.
  15. If only a few dims need to do, you can do them as somebody told above by setting Cplane respectively; if a lot of dims need to do, it will get a messy to dim them in 3D, I would do a solid layout and then dimesion them in 2D. HTH
  16. Hi there, Just for reference only: 1, open MPmaster.pst and find the block ppredtool to find tool type info, such as tool_type = 3 for drill, tool_type = 10 for flatmill, etc. 2, put if .... then ... into whereve you like to output the tool info, such as if tool_type = 10, pbld, n, "E/M", e 3, there are 19 different tools in Mcam, you have to put all types of tools to there. It is not very difficult to get this done, but it will take some time. good luck.
  17. What machine you are working on? lathe or mill?How many tools you are using?
  18. Hi there, You can use toolpath-point-rapid(pick up the point)-back-feedrate(pick up other point), thenthe parameter window popup and you can change the feed and rpm... good luck
  19. You can use operation of Toolpath/Point. You need to do something in the post, like If opcode = 15 (for Mill)or opcode = 106 (for lathe), output M5, M0,.. whatever you like.
  20. I am not sure what is the problem. Could try to set "bug1 : 2" in your post?
  21. Analyze - Suefaces - Curvatures...
  22. I am not sure what you are asking, but the following two methods may be useful to you: 1, Xform / squash 2, Create bound. box. HTH
  23. Normally I do the similiar way as upstair told, say: 1, Make active for "Force Tool Change" from Parameter windowChange NCI. 2, Manually entry whatever you like, such as "Check 0.010 stk", "Check insert" ... HTH
  24. For Ver.9 noly. Take a look for file in MCAM9LatheMC9SAMPLESMAIN to SUB spindle T'FER. Play around and you will get it.
  25. Programming processes and machine configurations may get involved to modification for the post.
