We have something like that it it's more of a sharpener. I need to relieve say a 1/4" shank down to .200. Or make key cutters in house
-
I haven't looked at the file but I would create the stock model with a tiny ribbon connecting the two pieces of stock, making them actually one piece.

Just set a 5-10% stepover and refer to feed speed wizard app. Works like a charm

Harvey Tools Simulation Files
JMahon replied to BrianP.'s topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
Nice find! I'm gonna try this after lunch!! -
I've been trying some full 5 axis paths on our robo but getting very strange moves. All of my 5 axis experience is on a mazak and we used inverse time, programmed at center of rotation... What are you robodrill gurus using?
-
Would love to hear some more about this. Just getting into full 4-5 axis on the robo.

Select the stock model toolpath, then click toggle toolpath button. In ops manager
-
How much runout?
-
Yep

Looking for a small surface grinder to relieve endmill shanks. Any suggestions? Right now we either buy a Harvey tool that will reach or stick an endmill in a hand drill and hit it on a grinding wheel... Not so effective when trying to grind a .02 endmill! I was thinking a little surface grinder with a 5c manual spindle (whirly jig)

I believe you have the option for the transform operation to create new toolpaths and geometry.
-
Not sure what version it started but, opticore and stock models are where the money's at!
-
Curve slice?
-
That's what I did. Maybe my I'm missing something with the format of my sub. Gonna give it a shot again Monday
-
Dynamic optirough if your using x9. Chain your stock and pick the entire model for drive. Set your depths let her eat some chips!
-
Most folks around here have Fanuc wires. Very user friendly. I've also used Sodick and Agie-Charmilles. Sodick or Fanuc were may favorites.

So I tried just adding G05.1Q1R1 and didn't notice any difference. That was with .0002" tolerance and 10/80/10. Went to try .0001" with arc filter off but can't figure out how to read off the card on this control. I've done it on an older control a few years ago but that's not working. Back to the yellow book!

X9 DynamicOptirough containment boundary issue
JMahon replied to maestro's topic in Industrial Forum
There's a radio button under your chaining menu to pick inside or outside -
I run 3 monitors. It seems overkill but it's worth it. I run mastercam graphics on one, plane, levels, and ops manager on the second, and I have my print on the third. I couldn't imagine working on one screen.

It's slightly intricate implant details. Surface finish is actually more important than accuracy on these parts. It's on a robodrill

What options are yall using when surfacing with small (.020") ball mills? I have a hard time understanding the fanuc books. I'm running production at the moment so I can't tinker with it but I would like to speed this thing up a little if possible. It's a 31i B5.

1/16" and 3/32" Endmills for 304SS?
JMahon replied to #Rekd™'s topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
I had some .031" 8 & 12x reach in standard and variable helix geometry. The variable helix outlasted the standard at least 3:1. -

JMahon replied to #Rekd™'s topic in Machining, Tools, Cutting & Probing
+ on the Harvey. Make sure u use that variable helix geometry. Makes a HUGE difference in stainless. -
I'm a dry guy as well
-
I think that could be in your arc/filter tolerance.
