Anybody use 3D arcs (G03.4 or G02.4) on a Fanuc control?

We did some test on our machine using 3D arcs but sometime, we get a alarm "Over tolerance of radius". It happen when we process a small 3D radius. It's probably a parameter but can't find which one

Control is a Fanuc 31i

I think the problem is on this line...

Call SetLevelName(arrTokLine(0), Trim(arrTokLine(1)))

The function is called SetlevelName, I think it only set the level name and not the level set.

I did the test with another comma but got a script error.

Thank's

Really like this utility. Just wondering how the vbs could be modified to take care of the level set?

When we run the script, it only take levels names and not the levels set.

Any idea?

Thank's Thad,

I did the ScriptLinker and it work fine.

How can we map a .vbs to a button or to a key

Thank's

Hi,

We have a Toshiba machine with a TOSNUC 888 control. Any of you programmed this machine in NURBS?

I would appreciate if I could get a sample code with NURBS just to try it on the machine.

We have Metacut PRO but I'm not sure about the code formating.

Solid Works 2007?

Thank you guys!

Finally, I needed to be in Edit mode and in Prog function...

Have a nice week end...

Control is a Fanuc Series 31i-Model 5a

Machine is a 5 axis Fanuc Robodrill a-T21iE

Thank's

Somebody know if we have a way to do a find and replace all function in this control?<

Any idea greatly appreciated. tks

Is it possible to output the X+ tool list in a spreadsheet for Excel? I know that the X+ setup sheet can do that but what about the tool list function?

Any other idea to output a tool list in Excel?

Thank's

Anything new about this problem?

We get this problem on all our Windows 2000 computers with Mastercam X.

Matt,

You use /s /m2 switches? Try /S /M2 (caplock)instead.

Got a customer who had the same problem. They have a new USB hasp.

Any comment would be appreciated.

Plus, when he open Mastercam, he said that the big X is flashing. It did not do that before the new hasp.

Thank's

What a nice c-hook!

Any plan to do it for X?...

It depend on the work itself. If you know Mastercam mill well, it should be a easy transition. If it's a router table, it should be very easy. Lot of contouring, drilling is automated by block drills, some routers have side drilling. Feeds are very high. You'll probably need to learn nesting.

Did you pick your hole directly on a solid?

In the transform parameters, you have the option between Operation order or Operation type. It should do what you want.

Slepydremr, it work's!

Thank's, I'll sleep less stupid tonight.

It was probably checked by a windows update...

I always go with Explorer. It was working before, now it don't.

Don't know what is happening.

Is it possible that the cadcam's FTP site is down?

Anybody has access to it?

Thank's

To what I know, AXYZ's having a hard time to support two consecutive Z moves. ie: you'll have trouble to do pecking with your AXYZ.

Slect the entities you want to put on another level (pre-selection), right-clic on level manager, select the level and ok.

Mario, ton output semble bon.

Peux-tu nous décrire le problème que tu rencontre?

Dans la définition de ton cycle, le premier Z est ton reference plane, le I= valeur de peck, J=nombre de répétition du peck.

Sur les autres lignes, le I=profondeur incrémentale du trou.

Do you use compensation in control? Sometime we get some stranges moves when we try to backplot a tab contour with comp. in control.
