DNM500/600 are very good machines, wich controller would You preffer (becouse You can buy it with Siemens, Fanuc or Heidenhain)?

very simple, go for it

What causes my part to be off center and really small sometimes when I click fit ? Like when I am rotating a part then go to a specific view say back to ISO and click fit it goes off center and is small and will not work right, I have to use my mouse to make it fit the screen. I have closed MCX ran ram saver everything and nothing helps once it happens.

there can be some geometry away from your desired part, so if you can not find it try to save only geometry that is around center, as save some...

or click delete window in the area that look like empty

if that is very offten and long term I would consider parametric programing, that would also save time to draw new parts, that will make some expences but in long term is very useful

gun drill , for dia 4mm yuo can use 4400 rpm and feed of 35 mm/min, shoul work for 3.4 also , but there will stay problem, becouse you will need high preasure through coolant

Is there a way to program in Surface footage in EIA on Mazaks Mills?

We have 640M/Matrix/M32

 

thanks!

I do that with subprograms, so main in Mazatrol, and only call ISO (.EIA) as sub

i have 2 parts that are left and rights.one side is programmed and done.now i just have to mirror it to get the other but when i mirror the chain directions reverse.when i manually reverse all of the chains and regenerate all contours go from left to right.then i have to change them as well.any easy way around this?

are you mirroring toolpaths or geometry?

dont see why problem is if toolpaths are goinng from left to right if tool compesation is ok

enable reverse toolpath in mirror dialog box, if you are mirorring toolpaths

Hi To all

 

How can i find the minimum fillet of workpieces for know the minimum tool diameter that we must use for finish workpieces ?

 

Thank you

Try, Analyze-> Test Surfaces and Solids->Curvature

Hi. I drew up a custom tool for the lathe and every time I try to select it, I get this error.

 

Only 2 colors (insert and holder) must be used in the custom tool MCX file.

 

I am trying to draw a face groove tool. What am I doing wrong?

It works fine for me, just make geometry on another level, no specific color is needed, but

-insert must be smaller then holder

for example:

Yes, G97 S3 is the rpm for live tool. I can run C axis from MC, we only try to use G77 (HAAS can cycle for flatting) directly on the machine.

ok, but where is your start point in X direction for G77 , X4.?

diametar of yor stock is?

Thanks for the answers.

 

Crazy....

In our machine lathe ST-20SS,follow the manual G94 is End Facing Cycle and G95 is Live tooling rigid tap (we used G95 before), we call HAAS and and they said add G97 in line N110, I did but the same error and they recommended use MC C Axis toolpath, but the surface is to rough.

Darko...

1- G97 S3 should be.

2- G21 or G20 the same error.

3- G90 the same error, and G91 "ERROR Invalid G code"

4,5 - we insert a line with linear move and F and the same error.

when you try run Single Block, the error appear in the first block.

G97 S3 ,why? it is 3rpm, is it for main spindle? it shold stoped not turnning, is it rpm for live tool?

just want to help.

with C axis you could try with multi passes or depth cuts, but

yor position is in X4. I am not sure it is OK. seem to me that you need one more X position, start position,

could you attach file or something

there a few things that are missing or confusing in this program, first of all G97 S3 - it is 3 rpm???

second- you should have G21 or G20, inch or metric values in start of program (just in case)

third- is it G90 or G91, absolute or increnental move

fourth- there is no value for feed rate at all

fiveth-it shold be great to have sone linear move in feed rate before starting any of circular or simillar motin. or aproaching stock part (it is not necesary but it can be very usfull for not stroke or if you run first part in single block mode)e.g. N140 G01 Z-1.849 F100. or F0.01)

Sure it is important to see the spcification requirements, if you just engrave numbers as such good tool for that is 60 degree

tool with small r on tip e.g. 0.3 (metric values).

why not use formula? minor is 12.64, that is theoretical

do you see model at start of importing? may be stupid, but did you try to fit screen? maybe geometry is somewere out of origin, or I missunderstud yor problem?

Is it possible to change in Machine Simulation position of A axis and tailstock in eg. 9_5XBOSTO_VMCHTBA, reverse, so that A axis will be on the right side and tailstock on the left or I have to make new machine? Is it posible to just rotate .STL files and save them?

got it

I short terms, can someone explain what kind of data (kinematic) is necesary to even think abuot it.

or any link, but for begginers.

Thank You

I would like to make machine simulation for macho-deckel DMC 125 U in MC X5, so i would like to make a new machine, what kind of data or file should I ask manufacturer for to make it possible?

thank you

I machined this half face to demo what a cnc machine can do. Not the fastest toolpath but I could get the chips fly:) You can find this full head model in FTP site.

ok

with X5 in the multiaxis samples folder, there is a human head file that you can 3ax machine.

thank you, I have found

hy, I need help finding model (I would like to make machinning with MasterCam) for something like that

My link

thank you

Material 15-5 heat treated to H1025 (Rc34-42)

 

I need to come out to the .550/.552 diameter bore during peck drilling the .187 and .156 holes to clear chips, then rapid back in. Is there a way for Mastercam to do this?? I do NOT want to start pecking at the start of the .550/.552 hole as it would cut air. {see attached file}

 

Custom drill cycle maybe....never used them....How is it done???

you should use some of comon drill cycles, but adjust clerance to eg. .3, and retract to eg. .-0.3 , top of stock is probably 0, and depht is what is on you blueprint, should be careful, the tab clerance must be active and z+, in case of multiple holes
