    Just Myself plus a lot of other duries.

  2. quote:

    when I use lathe canned cycle it seems to ignore the stock boundries in the job setup. is this common or am i doing somthing wrong?


    I took your file and mod.

    loaded back to the FTP site ander canned2

     

    I changed your tool paths as well the ref. points and the Lead In/Out values

     

    Moved your solid to a diferent level

    re-do your drilling cycle with out using your points and the center line

     

    I did it in a hurry hope it help

    Normaly I would have my Z0 at the front face of the part

    I belive I got the weire moves becouse you have it on the back face and it load my defaul setting when I opened your file

  3. Thee

     

    Disable stock recognition – The roughing toolpath is computed as if the stock does not exist. You must chain the outer boundary for roughing between boundaries.

     

    Regen or backplot switching between the 3 options (Use stock for outer boundary, Extend contour to stock only and disable stock recognition)

    it will be easy to see than explain what it does.

  4. Thee check your e-mail!

    I would do it that way

     

    I added a reference point (approach and retract).

    I added a leadIn/Out.

    I changed the Plunge Parameter to plunge cutting that allow the tool do the under cut.

    And selected disable sotck recognition.

     

    Hope this help you!!!

  5. Don't forget the infeed angle some times that help to control the burr direction

     

    I prefer use the multiple threading cycle

    (G76 or G71 on okumas)

    Fanuc has six kinds of infeed-angle 80, 60, 55, 30, 29, and 0

    Okuma has only 3 infeed patterns cut on front face of the thread, zig-zag and rear face of the thread

     

    Some times I rough the thread relif, run the threading cycle, finish the thread relif, run finish profile and re-run the thread cycle at full depth you add a few second to the cycle time but the deburring goes away.

  6. I also use the full profile insert

    (Like the NTC from Kennametal each insert is for a specific TPI)

    they take care the deburring on the crest of the thread

    I run the final tool again (just to deburr the fist and last lead of the thread)and re-run the threading cycle at full depth

  7. The easiest way I have found to make a similar tool is Main menu > NC utilities > Def tools > library. Open a tool in the library of your choice, edit whatever you want to, then hit save to library. This will make a new tool with the changes you made.

    The define tool page will still be open, hit cancel. This will leave the original tool parameters alone.

    Now you have 2 tools, 1 that was the original and 1 that you just modified.

     

    or

     

    Open the tool library

    Hi-lite tool to be copied

    while holding down [Ctrl] and hit "C" then "V"

     

    Tadaaaaaaaa. An exact copy is made.

     

     

    Lathe custom tool geometry rules:

    There must be separate planar closed boundaries for the insert and holder drawn in the Top view.

     

    The boundaries must consist of lines and arcs only.

     

    The insert and holder geometry must be different colors.

     

    There must be no other geometry in the file.
