Anyone familiar with the DMG MORI CLX450TC.

I use G68.1 a lot on the NTX2000, and this is an example of simple milling operation on the sub spindle. Make sure that you set the tool offset correctly. The I, K work fine on my machine.

I don’t know if you have only a lathe machine, but it’s doable if you use an adjustable angle holder. You don’t need Y-axis to do it because you will just feed in and out on the X and Z axis. 411013018-40 from WTO what we use all the time.

The option to switch between radius and diameter is only tied to the upper turret by specifying G10X0 and G10x1 (be careful, it’s always diameter unless you have something special). The machine will alarm when reading G10.9 in the lower turret. I have been working with Mastercam NW for more than 2 years, and we are close to fix all issues with the NTX2000 machine environment.

Good idea, I do the same on the Gantry load and unload, but I haven’t tried it on the tool management yet. Thanks

I already did, but Mastercam said it’s not supported in the meantime due to the software structure.

The point is I wanted to see if other programmers are using Mastercam to program a similar machine.

I have a machine environment from Mastercam. This machine has a gantry, and the machine runs 24 hours a day “in the best scenario”. The terms of tool management are Load monitoring, tool breakage detection, tool life, and tool groups to utilize the redundant tools in the magazine. For example, it’s a combination of M-codes and logic need to be added to the program. The tool breakage it’s a macro call controlled by sync codes and this concept applied on the upper and lower head etc.. thanks

thank you, I have a machine environment from Mastercam, and all adjustment that we done is on it.

I just was wondering, I have been programming this machine for more than two years now. I use Mastercam and hand-edit especilly Mastercam doesn’t support some features like tool management in the meantime. The bright side is, I am working with the Mastercam post processor department directly to fix the issues, but we still have many. Thank you all,

Anyone using Mastercam to program the DMG NTX2000 or it just me!

Thanks, So it is default to post G17, yes I will leave it. Thank you Mustafa CNC programmer Oregon

Thanks, And yes sure I know the different and how they are working. I am (milling) using X and Z only ,so I should get G18 only, but as in the codes Mastercam post G17 and then switch to G18 to do the arc(G03). In hand write code I was using G18 only. I complain about it because it’s shop standard. That’s what I usually do in hand write: G0 G20 G40 G55 G80 M200 G330 M269 G28 V0. G0 G53 X0. G53 Z-14. G0 T0929 G18 G98 M245 G28 H0. G0 G55 X2.646 Y0.

Why I am getting G17 and sometimes G19 on milling on XZ plan, (lathe mill/turn) here is what I am getting (TOOL - 9 OFFSET - 29)-----------------------------------------I am milling on the sub spindle (on right) (5/8 FLAT ENDMILL DIA - .625) (PLUNGE R.31) G0 G20 G40 G55 G80 M200 G330 M269 G28 V0.
