Today my PC did a windows update know verify in MC 2020 2.1 is not working

5th Axis

It happenes when a Created tool plane has a point as the datum. If you right mouse click on the plane and lock it it will not happen again.

Done! Thank you to everyone for their help. M50 X 2 (3 start) Internal thread - thread milled using a single insert. (Lathe boring bar and Insert) Programmed a 6mm pitch and transformed rotated the tool path twice at 120 degrees. Cheers

Thank you as always you are correct.

Thread is M50 X 2 (3 starts) I have programmed a single point insert to thread mill a 2mm pitch at 0,120 and 240 degrees. I will cut it today and see how it goes. Thank you

I get it all the time with 5-axis toolpaths or transformed toolpaths.

I have asked the tooling reps and Im waiting for an answer. Does anyone know if the Internal thread mills can do a multi start thread? Or will I have to use a single point tool.

Hello I have to thread mill an internal thread with 3 starts. How can I do this? Thread mill only has one start Do I have do 3 tool paths starting at 0,120 and 240 degrees? Cheers

If I chnge it to .001 and Decimals3 it engraves 0.001

Im trying to engrave just a sequential serial number. The number must be 3 digits. 001, 002, 003, 004 etc. I can get sequential numbers working 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. but how can I get the leading zero's? Thank you

Controller is the 630 For roughing I've used half of the cut tolerance and roughing and the machine fly's I haven't tried the angular tolerance. With a 2 degree tolerance for 5-axis does that mean the machine can position within a 2 degree tolerance?

Hi guys we just had our new DMG Mori DMU 50 delivered. In mastercam I can set Cycle 32 values. If someone can give some values they use for roughing and 3D Surface finishing I'd appreciate it Cheers

Thank you

Hi guys anyone running a Heidenhain controller doing sequential serial numbers? Can you please show me how you do it? Thank you

HI guys not a MC related question. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a shop floor work traveller template? Cheers

I have requested that we can change spindle speed and feed rate on the final pass of contour with multi pass

Same here, I never knew you could lock a plane until my awesome MC reseller told me.

Cant you just scale the models?

No, the guys that work next to me have two of them. Any chance of getting the models?

Hello does anyone have machine sim model of an Okuma MB 56 VA? Cheers

I found the same only un-checking "Max distance" does not fix this issue.
