Getting alarm for IMPROPER G-code ON BLOCK #8 .Can you guys explaine why ?

Thank you in advance .

Thank you Chris .

I added line you recomend already.

What about " stock left " value in the coments ?

Hi ,

Working on lathe -fanuc 21 post . Where i can get some instr. how to use debugger ?

How to get "stock left x and z output in post for lathe ?

Here is my code

Hello,

What advantage and disadvantage to locate mmd ,control files on server ?

thank you

hi Ajmer ,

Looks like it what do i need !!!

Thank you for your help .

Thank you for the replay .

my problem is when machine (tool) from initial position (x,z switches) moving on rapid (G0) to program initial point ( example X2.0 Z0.1) it moving on 45 deg angle then what is left over on Z moving straight . If i am using center it could crush into the turret.

To avoid crush i would like to let machine move on home position first ( example x5. z0.25)

Thank you

Hi,

How i can force in G-code output "Home position " after tool change.

right now i have next output :

N100 G00

N110 G20

N120 G99

N130 G50 S3500

N140 G54 T0202 ( T2 OD FINISH RIGHT - 35 DEG. INSERT - VNMG-431 )

N150 G96 S200 M03

( ------RIGHT HERE -------) I would like to have "Home position" defind volume .

N160 G00 X2.0185 Z0.1

N170 G01 Z0. F0.005

N180 Z-0.5412

N190 G02 X2.0216 Z-0.574 R0.3531

N200 G01 X2.284 Z-1.9804

N240 M09

N250 G00 X5. Z0.25

N260 T0200 M05

N270 M30

Thank you in advance

Looks like nice creation . Is it available for everybody ?

Nice part ,

I would start rough from flat bottom side . Use HSM toolpath . Rough pocket(hole) on half deep , use dinamic area t/p than another half from the top

thank you Jon , but it changing color of whole text ,i want to change only name of group for example .

What is " Line color" there ?

Hello,

Is it possible to change color of Tool Path Groups name text ?

Thank you

Hi,

I have to open huge .stp file (files) from PROE.

Which software has the best .STP ,STEP converter ?

Thank you

So after a few more weeks with no problem, we had another "incident."

 

This time instead of the tool just taking off in rapid at a random point in the program, the symptoms were a little more interesting. While in the middle of a sub program running on the second part (each sub runs 8 times per cycle) the machine decided it was not going to finish this sub program, but instead it retracted to Z0, called up the first tool, and started running the main program from the very begging.

 

I know the operator wasn't involved this time for sure, as I was standing right there when it happened.

 

A repair tech should be coming to look at the machine soon, and the first thing I will have him check is that the machine is properly grounded.

Are you sure you are not too close to limit swiches ? Let say you using long tool , so you are close to z limit when you going from point to point

Thank you.

Can i check on conntrol what type of DNC we using ?

What about using Ethernet connection? It not allow any logical branches in code .

We cut this kind of stuff often . Iscar

Insert works just fine

 

find a speed that produces the least amount of vibration at the spindle head , this will help protect the cutting edge and ensure there is not any dynamic runout out from vibration

 

Also i woud go for smaller DOC but faster feed.

Me tooooo

Make sure you are not doing any feed movement if you are on limit switches (z for example).

This could be a reason

I usually open about 300MB+ step files (complete model of injection mould) and it takes about 2 or 3 hours to open it. After opening it is little slower, but after i found part i need and save it in separate file its ok.

For one kind of job i always create about 100+ MB mcx file (a lot of komplex free surface solids with toolpaths) and i must say that with these files MC became little unstable, i have to save job every 10 mins, because crashes when doing some operations with solids became more often. But it can be solved by splitting file in parts. Reopening is faster than, because i can open only file with part i curently need. But I do not complain, because second best won't it :-) Mastercam is the best for me.

I found same thing mastercam become unstable and do weard stuff when file grovs.

X6 MU2

 

I have following problem.

 

1-st

I created drilling operation. Again to edit operation, choose other geometry (point, arc) from toolpath type page, press button "apply" - Mastercam crashed.

 

2-nd

Again to edit operation, change type of operation (from drill to cirle mill or helix bore), press button "apply" - Mastercam crashed.

 

I have checked up it on three computer with different operation systems and have received identical result: Mastercam crashed. There is no difference between win7 or win XP or Vista, between 64 and 32 bit operation system.

Anybody have the similar problems?

Editing geometry in drilling operation works fine if you pick on Drill points manager in Operation manager.

So far i don't have any crush.

I had some crushes on my laptop when i do quick varify.

true, mastercam don't like big files

FBD does not work for 4 axis. same as FBM

Hmm i see the tab (option)
