Im just working with some surfacing toolpaths and for some reason whenever I leave more stock on the check surface than the drive surface my toolpath gets all sorts of jacked up. Instead of machining a smooth line it jumps around and only finishes parts of the wall. Any ideas? I did surfacing in Mastercam 9 as well and didn't have this issue.
Im using Mastercam X and am trying to get 5 axis swarf toolpaths to post properly. The machine in use is a Haas Vf-4 with a trunnion. The trunnion axis are A and B. So it would be a table-table configuration. What has me confused is that there does not seem to be a machine configuration to suit this. The closest one is a table-table horizontal configuration. So my problem is after I make the toolpath I post it and the B axis is replaced with a C axis (that the machine doesn't have). I messed a little bit with editing the machine configurations in the machine group properties and when I thought I had it correctly configured to use A and B as my rotary axis, I get an error saying the machine configuration doesn't allow for that type of toolpath. Any help would be appreciated.
