put an speed/feed correction your posts. in that case you have to set the max spindle-rpm in the mmd's above your highest spindle. my posts correct the speeds and feeds to an S-max that is related to the tooldiameter. For our Fehlmann P60 with an 26000 spindle: Tools 0.0-0.399mm : S-max = 26000 Tools 0.4-0.599mm : S-max = 25500 Tools 0.6-0.799mm : S-max = 25000 Tools 0.8-0.999mm : S-max = 24500 Tools 1.0-1.999mm : S-max = 24000 Tools 2.0-over : S-max = 23000 My tool tables are limited above the highest spindle. Now the backplot time is not correct, but my setup sheet's also use these correction. I only have to replace the mmd in the machine group and i can post with the right speeds and feeds

Any body use NCsimul ?? That's only simulatoin. Vericut is not only simulation, it can also optimize toolpaths and feeds.

Paul, I'm also interested, can you put that file on the FTP ? Thanks

I've loaded V9.1mr0105 and X2mr2 for 2 hours now, no problems. Hasp, no Nethasp

Can't you create an WCS for the second router?

I've send an test file to QC The answer: quote: Hello Henk, I logged that back on 11/7/07 as defect # CNC 00031524

Lee, Yes, the arc filter is on. Did you make a toolpath, if so then you can see what i mean.

I've noticed that in X2-MR2 the Pocket "Paralel Clean Corners" toolpath changed from loops to lines. I don't like the new one, specially when the feedrate is high.

The solid only has one color. Create surfaces from the solid, and choose entity properties

If he buyed a (part of an) shop. IMHO he has to contact the Mastercam reseller, maybe they can/will transfer the licences.

No c-hook, I've set the speeds and feeds in my tool tables for the highest spindle. My posts calculate them all down for the different machines, and calculate up the tool times in my setup-sheets. An condition for this is that you must set the Max spindle RPM in the MMD's above the fasted spindle.

I define them as an tap and name them as mill. Now i can put the pitch in the parameters, and assign the to the Threadmill cycle in our heidenhain programs.

Solids @ 150 Electrode solids @ 150 GEO for Solids @ 7

I've 9.1MR0105, X2MR1SP1 and X2MR2 on my box. No problems

Alu-Tools with an coating Speeds and feeds like Alu Coolant On

quote: X+ = Gunther has requested the MR1 version NOT be used in MR2 There is not yet an MR2 version of X+

Tom, As far as i know, thats how it works Please you both send it QC, like i did

look here

Andrew, You can also play with the Blend toolpath
