Hello world!
I'm in a bit of a quandary with some code that my post processor has output from the NCI.
Basically it's regarding the 'Plane Spatial' function on the Heidenhain 530i control.
I understand the concept of the function, but what I am not getting is the following Datum Shift command that is wrapped around it:
2584 L X-11.542 Y+8.736 R0
2585 L Z+125. FMAX
2586 CALL LBL 999
2587 PLANE RESET TURN FMAX
2588 L B+90. C-90. FMAX
2589 CYCL DEF 7.0 DATUM SHIFT
2590 CYCL DEF 7.1 IX+6.449
2591 CYCL DEF 7.2 IY-107.6
2592 CYCL DEF 7.3 IZ-23.7
2593 PLANE SPATIAL SPA0. SPB90. SPC270. STAY SEQ+ TABLE ROT
2594 L X0 Y0 R0 FMAX
2595 L Z0 FMAX
2596 PLANE RESET STAY
2597 CYCL DEF 7.0 DATUM SHIFT
2598 CYCL DEF 7.1 IX-6.449
2599 CYCL DEF 7.2 IY+107.6
2600 CYCL DEF 7.3 IZ+23.7
2601 M128 F50000
2602 L X+6.449 Y-107.6 Z-23.7 R0 FMAX
2603 *- #######################################
2604 *- MILL Ø7 SPOTFACE FOR HICKEY BALL
2605 *- #######################################
2606 FN 0:Q1=50 ; PLUNGE FEEDRATE
At the moment I am not understanding the logic for this.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi,
I'm trying generate the corner rad of an under cut (Rad = 1.27mm) using a t slot cutter with a 0.5mm rad on the top edge.
Can anyone please tell me the best way to go about this? Sorry I'm a newbie to Mastercam!
Thanks....
Good morning,
This is my first post, so a big hi to everybody out there!
I'm new to Mastercam X7 (I have a Catia V5 and Solidworks background), so I am struggling a little bit with some topics.
I need to find the best strategy to rough and finish the wrapped pocket shown in the attached image:
Any ideas please?
Thanks in advance!
