Is it Quartz??Or what

Is there a way to have Mastercam open a program from other Cam software.One of our facilities is closing and they were using Esprit,we are using Mastercam,is there a way for Mastercam to open these files?The file type says"ESP file" Thank you

We have a Bridgeport dx32 torque cut also.I have a post for it that i use with V9 and MCX.if you have a need for this let me know

Anyone know where i can get a download to engrave this?

When you say "Coolant" is that actually cutting fluid coolant or self contained spindle coolant?And also what is lubricated with grease,spindle?

That is some good information ......Thanks

Yang Machine,does anybody have any input or remarks on the quality ,reliabilty.We are thinking of purchasing one.(Yang BMV 1500 VMC Fanuc controller) Thanks in advance.

That did it Thank you

I can post fine for Fanuc.But we have a Bridgeport that i used to post fine with MC9.Now with "X" in machine def.it only has posts for generic Fanuc.Is there a way i can use my MC9 Bridgeport post for "X" Thanks in advance

The last sentence should be Vertical lathe ,.,.Sorry

We are going to purchase a new machine.Right now we have lathes mills.Our product for the most part is all round,we have the option to buy a VMC or a Vertical lathe.Witch do you think is better choice?I know there is many questions such as hard to say without knowing your product,but just compare it to your shop,would you buy a VMC or a Vertical mill Thanks for your opinion in advance

Not really a Masercam question,but i am to the point of callibrating the probe mainly "z" hieght and Renishaw is telling me to run 9801 program.I told them i dont have that and they said i need that to callibrate the probe .Anybody have any knowledge or history with this.I am kinda stuck.It is a Monarch machine 18I controller.

Using Mastercam X,How do i pick the right machine and post processor to generate "G" code for this particular machine?

Does anybody know of a good website to download enblems or logos to import into Mastercam .Im looking for Peterbilt truck emblem to engrave on a piece of material for our boss that is retiring Thanks

Thank you much

I am programming using WEAR compensation.We got a new machine with tool probe option on it.It requires me to program so that we put radius of tool in machine controller ,Witch one is that? Computor control wear Reverse wear Off Thanks in advance

Is there a way to program a certain tool load range for the machine to either slow down on feed rate or stop completely when tool creates to much load on spindle?Or in this case we are machining quarts.We are not really worried about spindle,but the tool getting dull and breaking or part(quartz)

I did some research,and you are correct during sending something got garbbled and sent it as a scrap file(nothing to open).Thanks for your input.

recieved a file from customer.It has an extension of .shs,has anbody seen this before?And what will open it. Thanks

I am part of a small engineering group at my place of employment(1 of 3).i used to be a and still consider my self a machine programmer and operator.then moved me to strickly programing all cnc's for about 5 yrs. then moved me to engineering.they split all our product into 1/3's each one of us is responsible for our product line.the other two engineer's have never programed our ran a cnc before,but management wants me to show or train them to program so i dont have to program thier product line.here's my question to you....do you think it is possible to be a good mastercam cnc programer with no cnc experience?..........my answer is NO just curious thanks

i use 2 suppliers they hold tollerances of +-.0005 plated tools metal bond tools resin bond tools core drills routers form tools etc...you name it

i use dwg# with rev# an router sequence example :T01598-A-2 this way prog.# should allways coincide with rev. on print

i have used prdator for the last 5 years,it works great.send and recieve programs right from the machine controller.great tech support also.if you need info where to get it or ?'s call and i will let you know

Keith , would you mind if i talked to you about these machines via.e-mail or phone? thanks both of you for your input

does any one have history with this machine?fanuc 18I controller.we are going to purchase one with pallet changer.just curious if any one has any input on the machines capabilities,and reliability. thanks
