thanks Catherdral

Guys

Was wondering if anyone has the spec for a M19 x .35 6H class thread

It may be a software issue. I have had this issue since I started programming with V9. I learned to work around it by checking the codes in my program.

material type has to be taken into consideration

thanks guys

my reseller sent a workspace backup to replace all workspace files. but we still have to rebuild the toolbars

this happens on opening MasterCam and happens to multiple users.

using X8 every once in a while our Icons keep changing and the only way to correct it is to uninstall and reinstall MCAM. See image attached.

any help would be appreciated.

have you considered gundrilling?

I know this still does not resolve your question but another option would be to use the new transparency toggle.

i will look into this.

Not sure if any functionality was removed, but Alt+S should allow you to see the point.

I understand the ALT-S, but that just adds another step to the process that should not be necessary, and has to be done before any selection.

Is there a setting in MCam X8 that allows the solid model to change to translucent after selection during the Dynamic Xform Command. Some times i need to position the gnome in the center of the solid model and i have no way of attaching to the point created during the bounding box creation.

X6 & X7 had turned the model translucent after selection during the Dynamic Xform Command. Did CNC remove that functionality?

have you looked at www.lang-technovation.com?

figured it out after i posted it. same command in Feature Cam

Thanks.

i searched the forum but could not find this. Did CNC get rid of the panning ( alt + mouse wheel ) feature in X8. all it right now is rotate the part.

guys this has been bugging since we loaded X7. how do i turn off the "hide hidden lines"  in my config file i like to see all the lines when i perform Alt-S

Will never work without one, even if i have to bring mine in from home.

micron guy,you know what im trying to get,ill try what you suggest.can you give an example of what the G codes will look like?

this is a quick code at those values feed and speed incorrect

Clearance set to Absolute      1.00

Retract set to Incremental        .05

Top Of Stock set to Absolute  -.64

Depth set to absolute              -????????

If your drill cycle is set correct the tool will start at Z1.00, rapid to Z-.59 to start drilling to programmed depth, after drilling tool will retract to Z1.00 then move to the next hole clearing the islands on the part rapid down to Z-.59 and start all over.

The key is the clearance plane value. I know a lot of programmers that do not use that feature.

few questions

are you using cycle 19 or plane spatial?

cycle 19 will give you random movements whereas plane spatial will go to the actual programed #'s. i had the same problem with the machine movement in cycle 19 ( scrapped a $40,000 part), changed to plane spatial and every thing is honky-dory now.

is the kinematics forcing the rotation of the B axis towards the operator?

i see mastercam is pushing their stock model. it works great inside the software. the question i have is sometimes i need an stl to run in vericut, how do i export the stock model out as an stl so vericut recognises it as such?

Im trying to use high speed machining but I keep getting a improper g code for the g05.1q1 is there a parameter that is not turned on or off im also running it off a sim card with m198 witch I have done before on previouse tools centers using the hsm thanks

 

 

If I remember correctly from my Fanuc days the G05.1 Q1 has to come before the tool call line but I may be wrong.

What Grievous said. Don't lose sleep over it.

The control will re-sequence the line #'s or you can do it manually in CimcoEdit before the transfer.

try turning this setting off

I have used Fanuc, Haas, Hurco,Okuma and Yasnac and it does not get any easier or user friendly than a Heidenhain. For the first 2 days I hated it, but after I learned the control and how powerful it is I loved it. The only gripe I have on the control is the override knob controls the feedrate and rapid at the same time. There is no separate override for the rapid. The manuals are available on the website for download.

M126 is the code for shortest distance so the machine will find the solution for shortest travel and move to that location. That is probably the reason for the tracking. The only other reason will be if M128 is active. M129 will cancel M128 and M127 cancels M126

there is a setting for solid angle in the control to turn on SPATIAL. you may have to call Dekel for help. dont know if it is the same as the MIKRONS.

will that model control run SPATIAL, we have an older model TNC530 that will only run Cycle 19

I am not too familiar with Dekels but I am pretty sure you do not need line #30 in the HEIDENHAIN I may be wrong due to the control being an older model. You can download the HEIDENHAIN manual for your control from the HEIDENHAIN’s website.
