When I use a solid model for my tool on Mastercam 2024 update 3 I cannot create a Stock model.

I use Optirough all the time then stock model, after that Optirough but this time with rest material with smaller tool , one other operation and select stock model,

after that I create another stock model using those operations as source operations and I cannot get a new stock model'. If Iuse a regular tool it works.

I don't know if I explain myself. If not, I'll send pictures later on.

 

Coul you please create I stock model after that operation using that operation as source operation and let me know if you can create the stock model operation.

When you have time. it doesn't work for me 2024. are you on 2024? if I use a regular tool it works, I tool from Mastercam. 

Thank you. 

 

I am sorry ,I am just play on 2024  2nd day I  have to find out by self

Sure. Need to decide how are going to sequence them and how you want the output to be controlled.

I like to get N block every operation

mirek1017, is out of your question. But I need your help after you're done. could you help me. are you using a solid model for your tool definition?

yes

.01 on x and  z   so what I doing for fixing this when I set up  deep off cuts for .07  I   am do the same thing with step up 

now the tool live me .01 stock on floor 

I wondering ,can use sequence number to my lathe post ?

something like this 

(TOOL - 3 OFFSET - 3)
(RIGHT TURRET - 80 DEG.  INSERT - CNMG-432)

Hello All ,I know some one start dis topic but I can find it 

I am use optirough oprer for mill some packet ,I want to leave .01 stock on wall and floor ,when I am posting codes my least z cut is -1.1196  when my packet is -1.1875   deep ,how I can fixt this ,or maybe I should use step up to ?

Good morning 

Can some one can helping me wit modify 2 things on my generic MPLFAN post 

I like to get incremental number on my caned cycle operation

I thing there is some settings in control def ?

and the 2n thinks  I like to get  N block  when I am start new operation 

like this

May not be a translator yet to open it....

I'm not certain where Mastercam is on different CAD versions at this point but they may be ahead of your ability to open currently

JUst read it in the Update 3 pdf

You'll need to install Update 3 to get the 2024 Autodesk translator

 

from Mastercam.com ?

Hello All,  after when my engineers  team change autocad for 2024 version I have problem open  ipt.file

Yes very serious offer. How I feed my family and keep a roof over my head. i was in Oregon a couple weeks ago supporting a customer. I helped reduce a run time on a proven part from 5-1/2 hour to 2 hours. They are running 40 parts a month for the next 3 years. They have gained 5 hours per part 2-1/2 per part savings and 2-1/2 hour to use on other parts. 40 hours of my time resulted in 2400 hours a year in savings for that customer. I am working on a mill/Turn part where i think we will see the same kind of savings. Two parts that saved a customer over 4000 hours proves I might know one or two things about manufacturing. Not perfect and not the best, but I have 35+ years experience so that does help.

I have been to 46 states, 30 countries and 4 continents in my travels.

Are you getting what you are looking for? Sorry the posting is to vague for me to know if you got the results you are looking for or not. If not then you would use pzout and not pfzout. feed already has the * to force that output. If the R is not being forced then just add the * before the prdrlout or the pffr and see if either one of them give you the forced output you need.

As always please make sure you have a backup copy of your post before doing any post modifications. I have some posts backed up 20 times and with memory cheap as it today I have no problem being that redundant.

I just picked up a 990 M2 Samsung Pro 2TB drive for $130 off Amazon. My laptop will not have 7Tb of room on it. The new drive will be my Windows 11 drive. The laptop will have 3 bootable drives. I learned how to disable and enable the Mastercam license between each drive. Vericut doesn't care since it used the MAC address of the Ethernet port. Maybe next year when this laptop hits the 5 year mark I will replace it. Been rough year, but still keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table.

I will testing this somettime this week ,I thing this should work

In the drilling section of any Mastercam psot there is the mdrill$ and mdrill_2$ I am saying take the logic is mdrill$ and copy to mdrill_2$. From the Generic Right Turret VTL post. Notice in a Mill turn post we have 2 sections. We have a ldrill$ and mdrill$ in this case we are going to focus on mpeck$ and mpeck_2$:

mdrill$          #Canned drill cycle, mill
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pzout,
        pcout, prdrlout, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea

mpeck_2$       #Canned peck drill cycle repeat, mill
      mdrill_2$

Now replace the mdrill_2$ in the mpeck_2$ section with what was in the first mpeck$ section like so. I also used the pfzout to force Z output verses pzout which will only output Z if the value changes. 

mpeck_2$       #Canned peck drill cycle repeat, mill
      pdrlcommonb
      pcan1, pbld, n$, *sgdrlref, pgdrlout, pxout, pyout, pfzout,
        pcout, prdrlout, *peck1$, dwell$, pffr, strcantext, e$
      pcom_movea

Now you should get exactly what I was saying from here one.

Note to anyone following along. Mastercam can output perfect code for any machine.

I will repeat myself Mastercam can output perfect code for any machine. Problem is to many people think one size fits all and sorry that is not the case. Every single machine has its own quirks and it is up to us to sort that out. If you have enough experience with posts then these are simple tweaks. More involved ones require a professional.

 

BEST OFF THE BEST AND ONLY ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

try putting a G01 move prior to the G83 line

line this

It is possible that G0 is remaining active and cancelling G83

after one cycle is complete

My control i s  Fanuc  oi-tc  

I do not have problem with G83 line or  Z position ,my problem is when I want use G83 cycle  my machine pecking only on 1st hole the other C indexing position drilling without pecking 

so I think like Ron said I need to get G83 line with all index like this 

 C0 G83Z-1R.1Q1000.F3.

 C90. G83Z-1R.1Q1000.F3.

 C180. G83Z-1R.1Q1000.F3.

I cant find out ,how use pecking on this machine 

Hello All ,can some one helping me how use G8d  drilling cycle on this machine ,this is our Vtl lathe 

when I am posting  

G83 Z-1 R.1 Q.1 F3 . for my drilling  cycle ,pecking  do not work ,so I am find out on internet use  Q 1000.

So when I am posting 

G83 Z-1 R.1 Q1000. F3 .

C90.

C180.

C270.

the pecking working only on 1st hole  do not work on 90 180  270   position 

there is some setting  on machine or I should use something else in G83 line 

thank you 

so ,when you open my file my planes for turning operations are wrong ?

so I selected larger dia. then the arc to sweep.

in end profile chain..

let me try
