Machining Torlon® 4203
duckdogers replied to dgriffiths's topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
we also cut this stuff,cardide stands up well -
I also do it this wayits much more reliable than importing ops
-
thanks that was exactly the problem.The computer that it was created on was x7mu1.I reg it on a computer with x7mu2 and it was gone.Upgrading other computer today.
-
near the end of the op the tool stays down and rapids to the other end of part which creates big problem in machine.When you regen op without changing anything it is fine can anyone explain.Thanks MAIN.MCX-7
-
that worked great.Thanks
-
I should clarify,i am just doing a slot with cutter comp off
-
that works if I have more than one contour but I only have one and it always go back to the original spot
-
hi guys, is there a way to have a cutter do a cut from each end(straight 2d contour) instead of retracting and going back to the same end for every depth cut.
-
sorry it wont let me attach my file I will keep trying
-
can someone help please.I am trying to cut the groove with surface finish project but I cant seem to get the cutter to the bottom.I have done this before but a long time ago and cant remember how I did it.On the other hand forget it ,it wont let me attach my file.I will keep trying
-
we had this problem when we first got our hass.We run our filter settings high which makes program long.We had to go to dnc because of the size of the program and the restrictions of either the floppy or the machine control itself.
-
I don't do a lot of 4rth axis stuff but I have the same problem just learned to live with.Where do I find my post to make that change
-
yes jay that is true I just like to keep my boundary up so I can see it clearly from the part.I thought if you used 3d it put the boundrary right on top of the part
-
I use silhouette boundry alot.Just set zplane 2d above part ,create silhouette boundry(pick surfaces ) that should give you what you need.
-
thanks CamMan but I believe you still have to change sides or cutter will cut on wrong side.
-
thanks I was hoping to just mirror the part and not have to go through that.If I have a job with a lot operations one might get missed.
-
when running a 2d contour toolpath climb milling on a part, then I mirror that part, I always have to go in and reverse the chains or cutter will cut on wrong side.When I do this the cutter comp changes to the right when I want left,so I also have to go in and change that.Is there a way to mirror a part without having the chains reverse.
-
I took your advice and unchecked allow positive,allow negative.It now does what I want it to.I think z motion should be trimmed to cut depths because when those numbers are put in cut depths that is the only area I want to cut(just my opinion).Thanks for the help.
-
bill,i did resolve dogleg issue by redrawing that surface.I don't understand how it worked because that is the only thing I did and it worked.As for the depth issue today I already have this part roughed down with a larger cutter to the -.3094 and are trying to go deeper with a smaller one.
-
Hi guys.Can someone tell me why my toolpath ignores the depth limits I have.Thanks
-
I just realized my spelling could use some work(tool outside sufrace).Afternoon shift is a killer
-
yes third op.I ended up redrawing surface and it seems to have fixed it(don't know why).I don't understand why backplot looked fine but not in verify.Those flowline settings are the ones we use all the time.Did you get the gouge in verify?
-
I did not realize you wanted fancy letters, not sure if you can do it the way I suggested.We only do normal engraving with plain letters
-
in op3 the backplot shows the tool doing what it is suppose to do.In the verify it shows going out side the surface gouging into the part where I don't want it.It has done it on the machine so I,m trying to figure out why.Anyone have an answer.

If you click on true type, settings should be Font-Arial Font style-Regular
