Next week I will be starting with a new company. I will still be using mastercam to program, but they do not have any 5 axis machines. I am not sure whether or not I will have access to e-mastercam. So I would like to take this time to thank everybody in this forum for all the endless information and help you have supplied me with. This is truly a community I am proud to say I have been a part of. The first thing I am going to do when I start is check for internet access. This is a tool I am not going to give up easily. Cheers for all your help!
I use it everyday. It works very well. I have the trunnion and the spindle represented in verify. However it does not support crash detection yet. You must verify everything visually. It saved my xxxx more than once!
I use a five axis post to program a mazak with a five axis indexer mounted to it. The indexer is programmed seperate from the machine utilizing m codes. My question is, is it possible to output the A and B axis moves in parenthesis so I can leave them in the program while running? If this is very time consuming I am not sure it is worth while. Currently I extract the A and B moves and replace them with M codes, but before I do that I program the indexer with the information obtained from the code. Any advice would be helpful, thanks in advance.
My bad. I took another look and did it with 5 axis swarf. I checked the 4 axis tab and used and entry and exit curve. I will send you what I have done. Hope this helps.
I use harvey on a daily basis. The quality on everything they offer is amazing. I would recomend to anyone. I use the thread mill in titanium and I have not found anything that lasts longer.
Center drills are exactly that. They are for making centers. The smaller diameter tends to break off in the part during production use. This is not desireable.
I got your e-mail but the attachment was blocked by microsoft outlook. I sent you a copy of my post. Good luck, just compare the code with your code and verify A axis rotation.
