Because this machine has never been set up for 4th axis work like the and I’ve had great success modifying the post to get what I need . I havent had any luck using the MD all my rotations are the opposite direction or just wrong

I am setting up a post for a HMC and I want to break the rotations of B axis to limit it to 360 deg. I’m cutting a pocket substituting x axis but its winding 360 deg around. the post says to modify " pmotion_su" but I don’t know what to change. I’m not using the MD to set variables. thanks in advance

B -440 should read B- 80.104 and so on

I am machining slots around a 16" dia, im using curve with chain and all is great except the slots are not 360 deg around the part so when it transitions to the start point the tool follows it all the way through and cuts through the part the file is to large I know its the kinomatcis but I don't know how to adjust them

thanks

like wise whats the ftp psass

Mill man it is the add on for mx7 and bsemp I read that pdf but it dosent say anything about enabling it in mx7 and yes im just waiting for the code to be sent to me. we use cimquest new England formerly s4a

Hello,

I just got productivity + for a 2 week trial. First how do I enable it I down loaded it and installed it but in MX7 it says its not enabled? Second anyone have any good resources for learning it thanks

OPTIONS SAVE AS

I have only noticed this with x7.. when I save a STL model from the verify and then bring it in to verify next op the STL model is very grainy?? is this normal for x7 now thanks

Thanks im still getting a wrong g code error I think its a parameters thing from the builder

Im trying to use high speed machining but I keep getting a improper g code for the g05.1q1 is there a parameter that is not turned on or off im also running it off a sim card with m198 witch I have done before on previouse tools centers using the hsm thanks

Not at all hope it works out for you

got it thanks

Ok that makes scense do I assume I need to remove the undercuts before then. here is a copy of the file

BOOLEAN.MCX-7

Im trying to make a fixture for a thin chassis and I keep getting the error non manifold, I understand what that is but how do I fix it, thanks

it seems others can do this

Love this how did you get the 2d geometry for the core rough did you draw it or extract it .. can you just take the curves and project them up to 2d?

Make sure your stock setup is in the correct plan

thanks to all

Ceramics used them before and they have their place for roughing, but for finishing I will stick to Carbide. I do like a the diamond coating it does help tool life and to me is worth the cost.

 

HTH

ya it makes sence to use diamond coating but ive been told it wont work or dosent but i have a hard time beleaving that considering its harder and more wear resistant than anything else that i know of and we are looking into ceramics for roughing it will just be a matter of getting them doen to 3/16 ball and the only company that makes ceramic ball endmills only make it as small as 3/8....

ya this is a very complex part and were useing about 90 tools per part has anyone tryed diamond for finishing the biggest problem is the tool is wearing out by the time it gets to the root so the blade tappers and we have to end up running it twice .....ive use alcrona and i love it but will it make a big diffrence over exceed thanks for all your responses ... ps we run oil not coolent

Im cutting inco and i want to get more tool life out of the tool any sugestions on coatings or any out of the box ways / theorys. Its a 3/16 ball that reaches down about 2 in. tool has a 1.5 taper to 3/8 shank ( very very tight spaceing) i was thinking of trying dimond.....thanks

I actually figured it out this is what i was looking for it to do

ah ic ok thank you

we just got a new hass in and i want to set up the tool measeuring and probeing from the offset pages and not have to go into the vqc. i have seen it in my last shop were this is in the last 2 colums but there is nothing there on this one and i dont know if its just a setting or diffrent softwear, i have the standerd omp probe and ots. i hope i expland this right. thanks

or create the tool
