What settings and programs should I change for the nivida P4000? I have added master cam to list, but after 2-3 hours running you lose the classic back plot shading. It is wnd 10 I7700K With nivida P4000.

we are building two new computers, whats best now, we have 3 I7700k now on Ron's recommendation, but replacing some older I74900?

We got are 500 vc-500a/5x this spring, with one tweak are postabilty post, and some parameter changes, has been working great!! the full 5 axis paths and also 3+2 positioning paths work perfect. just pick up part and start cutting it works great. pick up the part center top in machine, have center top wcs in mc. its way better then a 4th axis. All we do is molds and prototypes, i hope you like it. We also bought the simulator and it has also worked vary well, now you can check holder collision on legacy ops also, it seems to be working vary well what you see is what you get. It is worth every penny (i do not Know how much it cost?) But the post and the simulator was less then the cost of the holders and insert cutters to tool up the machine. we already had a 5 axis hasp (from upgrading from v9 to x1) so theirs that. Have fun you will like it. And for us center of rotation dosn't matter, it will if the machine moves (hopefully not).

if you are using a .125 cutter offset the top chain .0626 and try sf project.

I would go with solid carbide end mills for hard milling (designed for hard milling) if its a shallow cut use a feed mill style cutter, if its (big) and shallow i now Iscar makes a insert for hard milling for the fast feed line. Use dynamic cutting all the way, if the insert or cuter is in the cut to long the temperature will max out the insert or the cutter and cause it to fracture. D2 is vary hard, but with the right tools and speeds its butter.

if modeled right surf finish project would work make a line or a path you want to fallow and it will go up and down and you may need at least two passes. or maybe pencil.

i think you want the keep tool down box checked in depth of cuts page.

G53.1 P1 ?? This is the only post edit we had to do for are postablety post, we started with no p that is 0, P1 is a b positive solution p2 is negative, everything has worked perfect sens.

I am trying to help. the pencil pass will clean up the internal radius, and the scallops on the ribs would smooth out the steps on them.

Some penciling pass and a few scallops would dress that up.

I do not know, I have seen that before but what dose it do? What should it be changed to.

This is what are mazack post puts out if it helps. G00 G20 G40 G80 G90 G91 G28 Z0. G28 Y0. G28 X0. M46 M43 G28 B0. C0. N1 G00 G20 G40 G80 G90 T5 M06 ( .375 BALL) G91 G00 G28 Z0. G00 G90 G54 G17 B30.

is there a spot to set a tolerance for surfs made, normally they look fasseted to other geometry. JP said to scale it so probably not. (Like setting solid tolerances, so when you create curves on edges, the solid tolerances are the default )

I have herd that smaller ones, or partishend ones work better on some controls.

force tool change.

compensate to center of chain?

You can still change the hot keys in 2018, and if you make your own tabs the workplace is fine, with out docking you can not tell what color you are in or move levels with out clic clic (and please, put a number with the color). We are number people.

2 new machines sitting on the floor, tomorrow mazac will be here to set up are new 530 then set up the 500ax. Next week we should be making chips!!

+1 -90 deg to unroll.

If someone exports out of solid works with a large tolerances, that is the shape of your part, if you machine to the model it will have facets. It takes to long with that small tolerances the designer says!

We got the Postability post and the simulator, Played around a little bit, it looks like fun. The machine should be ready to ship 3-28-18 so hopefully we will have time to play a little more. There might be a learning curve!! Thanks for your input!!

Will we be able to get a out of the box post fore this? (looking at the thread for the um750)

It will have the 12000 rpm spindle, 30 tool changer, probing, and it should have all the high speed and 5 axis control stuff . Hopefully every thing will work great. The stuff we want to do should fit in the envelop of the 500mm cube. we talked to a mazack tech today and he said that the one we will get will have a larger casting and be more ridged then the ones sold a year ago or so?? we did want a faster spindle and larger tool changer. but the time line and limitations off options prevented it. Hopefully it will be a nice starter model!!

Anyone have one, thoughts, comments.We are getting one in 8 weeks. low_17-MAZ-0631 VC_Brochure_digital (1).pdf
