"I found out if I remove all lines with ( ) it works fine." we have a vf-6, vf-3. the only problem I have is if I don't remove the statements () the machine will not run dnc, otherwise it runs fine.

I had a problem with the rough pocket gouging and not showing up in verify or backplot when x was first released but sp1 fixed that, have you downloaded the updates? hope this helps you Bill

Call AXSYS, they can e-mail you the new update for moldplus MR1, got mine yesterday and it works great

Thank so much, These are great tools

There is a problem with the helix entry in the rough pocket surface toolpath and the haas post. I crashed a part using it, didn't show up in verify or backplot. CNC software is aware of it and will be issuing a patch for it, I was just notified and thought I would pass this along.

We had a similar problem, our dealer changed the post for us to seperate the rapid move in 'z' and 'x y', when before all 3 axis did a rapid move at the same time, went through a couple of side walls, ours was a Haas also. Hope this helped

Hello friends, We just got release X, I programmed and cut a part with V9, imported and regenerated the cutter paths in X, verified the part with stl check, looked good with no violations, backplotted, path looked good. Did a post update for a Haas vf-3 and posted the program, set up a piece of crs and proceeded to run the part. The surface rough pocket helixed into the surface and violated in 3 different spots. This would lead me to think it is a posting problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankx

it's not in the traverse city area yet Shep

quote "BTW that sig line vid is in pretty bad taste." I'll say, the birds wings look like hands.

When we DNC to our haas, we have to remove any statements in ( ). Just a thought, don't know if it helps.

thanks for your help, you people are the greatest

no, do you think i should be? i'm using the setup sheet in mastercam,

greetings and salutations, can anyone tell me if it is possible to get individual tool depth of cuts added to the setup sheet in mastercam. thanks

Thanks for the input I really appreciate the trouble you guys go to to help.

Thanks jmparis but I know the calculations and the docs, the problem is when I attempt to edit the tool I am not up to snuff on what to enter where, if that makes any sense. I am a long time MC user but havent had the opportunity to create my own tool-materials librarys and have finally got to the point where I am just going to take the time and do it. can you point me in the right direction. Thanks again for the quick reply.
