Hello,

 

I would like for our operators to be able to post as the job comes to their machine. Is there some software that can do that other than have a seat of Mastercam? I don't want them to be able to change geometry or tool paths just post the mcx-9 file.

 

Thank you

 

 

I have done that, But when I check in the tool bar it still has Fanuc machine listed in the box. It seems that If I don't change it there the transfer will error out.

Hello,

 

How do I change the default machine to Fadal  mill? I was able to get everything else right but this keeps changing to Fanuc mill.

 

Thank you

Does any one have a material library for things like ultem abco nylon 66 and various different plastics or phenolics?

 

Thank you

How do I fix?

 

Thank you

Colin,

 

I did this and it cuts the extra characters off instead of wrapping them around. I can live with this. But is this why I started to get a comment truncated error when I post? The post completes

successfully but asked to display errors.

Thank you for your reply, I have already blocked the tool comment and program name from the post. The problem is our file names are quite long so I would like to see about a pre defined length.

Hello,

 

Does any body have this problem and know how to fix it. When we load our programs into the control we get a missing " ) " error because the comment is to long and the control moves what is remaining to a new line leaving the starting line with out an " ) " at the end of the line causing the error. Is there a way to limit the number of characters per line in the post?

If you look further on the 2linc site the have a spring loaded countersink for cnc machines. We are using 2 of these and they work good. If you are doing plastic you will have to go to the hardware store and buy a softer spring and we also made a wider pad for the contact surface. These will hurt your pocket a little but they work well. The base is 1 3/4 in dia. I wish they had a smaller version.

I don't know what the difference is. We have a 2008 VF6 that I use to run in a different part of the plant and had know problems. But this is a 2007 VFE with pallet changer. When the prestage tool is called out on the G43 line I get a "TT or unknown axis error". We run this with the H and T in agreement so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Thank you for all the help. Sorry it took a while to respond. You pointed me in the right direction and here is what I ended up with. I added the n$ and the e$ so I could get the line numbers to show up. Once again thank you

Hello,

 

Our Haas vf3 requires the pre stage tool to be on it's own like. How do I get it there?

 

Thanks
