hi guys
we have vericut fixed by CGTech technical support (excellent support)so now
verification is showing correct tool movement, same as the machine.
as I expected, control def. for G43.4 was modified.
I could show video from verification but I do not know how to attached file
to this post.
guys, G54.4P1 is no problem, we are using this function
(Workpiece Setup Error Correction) in hundreds programs
without any problem, we shift workoffset Z0 point using variable
#5813 in program header
#3200=3 #5223=#3212/100000 #5813=-5.4764(VISE Z)<<****************** G00G17G20G40G49G80G90 G91G28Z0. M1
(TOOLPATH ID2) N1T2T14M06(2" FLY-CUTTER) G54 M43 M46 G00G90A0.C0. M44 M47 G54.4P1 X9.4247Y-1.5846S10500M03 G43H2Z15.
so, the real problem is G43.4 (tool tip point control) in vericut
that did not show tool reposition when G43.4 is active.
Bob, you are absolutely right, so far I did not have the problem like that
because at the beginning of using Mazak variaxis (3 years ago) I modified our mastercam Mazak post
and vericat control to match machine control but, I always use furs tool change
at 5axis milling and null tool change in mastercam,
what happened last week was new young programmer and his believe that vericut
is 100% accurate.
in the past we run hundreds programs in this mode
and never had problems with G5P0 and G64,
I check my programs in vericut and so far I did not have
issue like that,
just to add, in vericut control, driven point zero and axis orientation should not be
changed and rotated when G43.4 is active, but tool tip point control during rotation
should be recalculated and vericut must show that.
I tried to find macro for that and add to G43.4 spec. in control
but so far no lack.
Joe788, I know wat happened and why, but
I am looking for solution in vericut control file
for mazatrol matrix to cutch the possibility of
crash that happened.
guys, in vericut all options were set on,
warnings,colision detection, travel limits ect.
so fare we did not have any problems with vericut,
this software is really excellent.
crash happened because programmer did not forse tool change
at null tool change when full 5 axis was running.
We cut the part running MAZAK VARIAXIS 630-5X-II with mazatrol matrix control.
With G54.4P1 and G43.4H22 active, machine was cutting 5ax swarf toolpath and at null tool, machine
rotated table and control recalculated tool position on X,Y and Z axis so machine
moved on all axis, but in the program there is not linear axis move.
We check the program in Vericut , but Vericut DID NOT show that recalculation and tool movement.
HUGE CRASH!! $40,000 spindle. In the middle of the program!

Does anybody have idea how to fix mazatrol matrix control
to show this movement? Thanks,
couple whys:
1. why in tool manager mouse mid button + alt is steal dynamic pan, but in mastercam
is changed to mid button + shift?
2. why in tool manager I can not activate dynamic tool projection ruler?
3. why in mastercam, when I start new file, mastercam is not link to default
material library set in configuration file?
Hi all corrupted tools.
You have this problem becouse in old MC X file you changed machine group name;
Mastercam X7 tool manager is working O.K. if your machine groupe is as defoult;
for ex: Machine Groupe-1, Machine Groupe-2, so on:
Machine Groupe-1 is in Mastercam X config as user defined, so
in old files you have to change machine group name to this, but not manually;
create new machine group with new name as defoult Machine Groupe-1
and copy and paist toolpaths from old machine to the new groupe
