how do i add F MAX to line #15. i cannot find it any where in the post MCX5 MU1 Heidenhain TNC530 control FROM THIS 0 BEGIN PGM 2102356A1 INCH 1 ;DATE - JUL-26-2011 2 ;TIME - 8:07 AM 3 ;POST DEV - IN-HOUSE SOLUTIONS INC. 4 ; 5 BLK FORM 0.1 Z X-6.5318 Y-1.3061 Z-3.8267 6 BLK FORM 0.2 X+6.5318 Y+1.3061 Z+.075 7 ;TOOL - 16 | 1-1/2 CARBOLOY INSERT CUTTER | R0.0150 | FACING..... 8 CYCL DEF 247 DATUM SETTING ~ Q339=+5 ; DATUM NUMBER 9 M126 10 M129 11 M36 ; CHIP CONVEYOR ON 12 M38 ; MIST BUSTER ON 13 M140 MB MAX 14 L Y+39.7 Z+27.5 R0 F MAX M91 15 PLANE RESET TURN 16 ; 17 * - 1-1/2 CARBOLOY INSERT CUTTER | SQUARE MATERIAL FACE 18 ;TOOLPLANE NAME - RIGHT SIDE VIEW 19 TOOL CALL 16 Z S15000 To This 0 BEGIN PGM 2102356A1 INCH 1 ;DATE - JUL-26-2011 2 ;TIME - 8:07 AM 3 ;POST DEV - IN-HOUSE SOLUTIONS INC. 4 ; 5 BLK FORM 0.1 Z X-6.5318 Y-1.3061 Z-3.8267 6 BLK FORM 0.2 X+6.5318 Y+1.3061 Z+.075 7 ;TOOL - 16 | 1-1/2 CARBOLOY INSERT CUTTER | R0.0150 | FACING..... 8 CYCL DEF 247 DATUM SETTING ~ Q339=+5 ; DATUM NUMBER 9 M126 10 M129 11 M36 ; CHIP CONVEYOR ON 12 M38 ; MIST BUSTER ON 13 M140 MB MAX 14 L Y+39.7 Z+27.5 R0 F MAX M91 15 PLANE RESET TURN F MAX 16 ; 17 * - 1-1/2 CARBOLOY INSERT CUTTER | SQUARE MATERIAL FACE 18 ;TOOLPLANE NAME - RIGHT SIDE VIEW 19 TOOL CALL 16 Z S15000 20 ; 21 M140 MB MAX 22 L Y+39.7 Z+27.5 R0 F MAX M91

what is backblock?

it's there but for some reason it is not showing up in Windows 7. left click next to the X and the menu will show up

had the same problem this morning with a 5AXIS CIRCLE MILL routine. was informed by app engineer from machine builder that i cannot use radius cutter comp in 5 axis tool paths. and that took care of the problem. try removing the RL and R0 lines and see if that makes adifference. in my case the tool was not utilising the Z retract moves and was staying down to move to the next hole. Control is Heidenhain, codes are the same i did not notice are you running Plane Spatial or Cycle 19

wear comp here. with control comp the tool cuts to the centerline ( have to add radius of tool in machine tool register ) of the tool whereas wear comp cuts to the edge of the tool. computer comp cuts to the edge of the tool with no G41 or G42 generated. wear will generate G41 or G42 depending on the way you program.

if you are paying for maintenance the hasp for X4 will run X3

what's the point of MCX5 MU1 allowing the user to select check surfaces in some of the new high speed tool paths and then turn around and disregard them in back plot or verify. bites me every time

did you try the surface flowline the tool does NOT jump around much and finishes one angled before moving to the next. watch the surface normals. the bigger the gap settings the less the tool jumps around and the less air you will cut

as Gcode says check the stock view setting. i always set mine to mastercam,s top view for all the machine groups and do not have any problems when using the STL for toolpaths or verifying using multiple WCS's

had that same problem. found that the tool never updated the directory structure to the X5 directory. it was still pointing to the X4 directory

the save some function will save as an iges as long as you window what you want to save as an iges file. if it is a solid model you will have to create edge curves on the solid. i do this every day for our QC department for them to program the CMMs for first pc and inprocess inspections

or you can use the snipping tool included in windows 7

First time running X5MU1 and noticed that the verify is slower than X4

Running Quadro FX3800 ( mentioned that in my first post )

is this a Windows 7 issue or is it a MCX compatibility issue? never noticed this in XP

your post is probably set to post R's instead of IJK's. that was the problem with our HURCO. set the post to use IJK's

it does this after the computer sits for a while. the restart fixes it but that gets old after after a while and it is a real PITA to to have to restart mastercam every time to fix it

running X4 MU3 what causes my cursor to disappear whenever i hover the level or attribute buttons at the bottom of the screen? using nvidia quadro fx3800

take a look in the machine builder's manual. it should be in the keep relays section. if i remember correctly it is not a Fanuc function but machine specific

Nikken Lyndex Shrink fit holders

+1 gcode

thanks Roger that works but it is not 100%. is this issue in X5?

i am not trying to use the print screen. i am trying to use copy image to clipboard from the screen pull down menu where i can copy individual areas of the screen by windowing them. it worked fine in XP befor the upgrade to windows7

my copy image to clipboard does not work in Windows7 running MCX 4 MU3 with Quadro FX 3800 video card how do i fix that
