I wonder what THAT sounded like?!

 

The machine or the boss ??

To be really sure that the tool stay inside the boundry:

• move/project the boundry above the part.
• create draft surfaces from that boundry.
• add those surfaces to the operation.

You can be a member of the mastercam site, all you need is a valid HASP number.

 

AND you have to be on maintenance.!!

Our maintenace expired, and now that forum is blocked, exept the useless 'Non-maintenance Customer Forum'.

Hi Daniel,

Maybe to late, but i found this:

http://www.cnc-meister.de/hauptseite.htm

I guess you can use a stock model instead? How does that work?

 

Stock Model is just an operation.

So add that operation to your toolpaths, and fill the parameters.

No Verify and save as.

3-ax toolpaths:

• Create an surface from that arc.
• Then project the lines and arcs on that surface.

OR:

• Create an 2D toolpath
• Then an 'Surface Finish Project' toolpath

Purchase the Catia add-on.

Or get your supplier to translate the file into step/parasolid and then you can import it.

 

Or purchase the "MoldPlus Catia add-on" through your supplier

John,

Nice video,but....................

I like the Holder CHook from Gunther thats enclosed in the X+ much more. 

Hi Colin,

Thanks

That was step one, fixed the errors

I have changed an mill.set for my setup sheet, now it's nearly what i want.

Need some hel with the finishing touch.

• I added an diameter output for an helixbore and an threading cycle.

Line 973 - 990

The values come at the wrong places, see attached .jpg

• The header tells:    # This post supports output for 3 and 4 axis milling.

In my 5 axis pgm's the output is OK, but i get errors:

09 Jul 2015 02:33:55 PM - RUN TIME -OPID(51)- Only single-axis rotation is allowed!  Angles may be incorrect.
09 Jul 2015 02:33:55 PM - RUN TIME -OPID(51)- Only single-axis rotation is allowed!  Angles may be incorrect.

How to avoid these errors?

BTW the X-style coolant you see in not yet working, but that's an next step

Setup.zip

I already delete the lines related with that problem, it works.

Yes, the other way is to use '#" to make that line be a comment.

 

You didn't make a copy before editing ??  :rolleyes:

I don't like the 'Lock Feedrates', to much times i forget to push the 'Re-initialise Speed&Feed'

I would prefer to lock individual 'data entry boxes', requested here : http://forum.masterc.../Topic5593.aspx

• Right click in an yellow 'data entry box'.
• Have an Lock / Unlock option.
• Turn the locked entry boxes Red.

G10 lines as POSITIVE TOOL LENGTH OFFSET

 

???

Not an Chook, but the "SnapShot" from X+ wil do

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for not being too communicative lately... I´ve working a lot and not spending much time to be online....

 

I saw you don't even have the time to update your exellent blog...      http://camzone.org/

sholder_name : ""    #Toolholder name

if prmcode$ = 12727, sholder_name = ucase(sparameter$)      #Toolholder name

Erni,   THANKS!!!!

I missed this in the (public)Beta's

Makino !! ??

eVo is not made in China, the ECO's are..

 

The control:

• Siemens, i've never touched...
• Heidenhain iTNC 530, rock solid IMHO

Yes, Verisurf X9 tools will be ready very soon.

 

Hi Ernie,

I miss the X9 verisurf WCS-arrows..!!

Günther beated you with the X+    ;-)

I'm very happy with those free addon's 

I don't use them, but you can look at Caimax

http://www.camaix.com/chooks.html

 

I wish there is a way that I can purchase the post without LOCKED file.  Thanks.

In that LOCKED file is the link to you hasp.

So that locked zone is self defence for the resellers.

There is a lot of knowledge (and $$$) in the 5-axis posts.

I can imagine they don't throw that out on the (digital) street.

You can also have a look at:

Nope

http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic3421.aspx?Keywords=level%20names

I use them sometimes.

When a file comes back after a couple of months, i'm thinking why did i lock that operation???

I would prefer to lock individual 'data entry boxes', requested here : http://forum.mastercam.com/Topic5593.aspx

 

But now locking the ops does nothing...they will still go dirty so it is a useless function.

They will go dirty..........., BUT the toolpath data is still there, and you can post them.
