Ok. I'll have to look.
-
A couple guys when they verify with a manual entry it opens and immediately closes Has anyone experienced this in 2023?
-
What does the ptool_inpection look like? Personally i would copy some of the ptoolcng block so it re issued everything. This way if for some reason somebody goes to start the program from there it's going to have the right tool and the spindle.

Call out X,Y plane after toolchange
Leon82 replied to Rstewart's topic in Post Processor Development Forum
Did you do it in the tool change block? Don't do it in the null or pretract or prapidout -
There should be a post block labeled subsequent holes underneath the drill cycles
-
It sounds like the spring pass is removing lots of spring

You could try an asterisk In front of the sgplane *sgplane -
You really don't have a choice but to make a center cut. You can order a smaller one and do some multipasses and finish with the full size cutter
-
I believe there is a tabs page in the contour toolpath
-
We have 520 and 850s. They work well. Our yasda is the linear motor machine and it is super consistent
-
You can right click edit and unlink which is what I did. That was the only time I've used that feature and picked the worst application for it
-
I may have made relative planes. I will try to make a file but our internet is restricted now so I'll have to figure something out.
-
I had a file in 2020 with 5 locked planes. When I opened it in 2023the planes were still locked but 160degrees off. I had to lock them because I had to modify my 5axis home for the dovetail fixtures we modified and it would keep reverting the planes. They also have this link symbol now.

It's for turning cutter comp on in a z move. It doesn't stop the simulation Feed plane is .03 incremental and top of stock it .02 incremental
-
When I do a circle Mill 5 axis I'm using a line I believe for orientation. Camplete posts out of g43 tilted work plane but it's turning cutter comp on on the z move for the helix. I have Track cutter comp mode in the files setting on Camplete checked. This is giving me a warning a cam fleet but a simulates fine I haven't actually run it on the machine yet. Has anyone had this before?
-
I asked why we don't use mastercam wire, pcfabcut has the technology for each fanuc wire already loaded. It's different for each machine so you don't have to figure all that stuff out and load it into mastercam
-
I believe it does exactly what you want. you can scroll thru the top of the post and it should have a description where they are declared
-
The fine print on the kitamura recommends a plus or minus 2° environment. .001should be doable but you will need to keep the machine temp consistent and may have to do fine tweaking with the stock to leave. Some of our parts have 20 micron true positions so we will usually make a sub program with a separate work offset on our matsuura and probe the datums
-
Maybe the stroke of the draw bar release is being blocked so it can't release.
-
I think he's more interested in doing multiple holes with one mastercam op
-
Sometimes you can use absolute top of stock with incremental depth for they are different depths from one plane. You can also make toolpath sub groups that would house each tool
-
It sounds like you need to copy your existing machine, posts and control defs to the new workstation. Or set them on a server and set the paths.
-
If your just probing holes and faces for work offsets you can do it thru the extra drill cycles. When I measure a surface I put the measurement macro in-between the cycles with a manual entry. If you can decipher the yellow book it may give you the parameter to check.
-
On old times we have to pick the current machine twice to get the control def text to show up. Sometimes it crashes and says there is a memory problem after trying this
-
Hit it with some ospho to stop the rust then use a coolant that doesn't cause it. The factory paint in our mam was gone after 3 parts where the facemill threw them.
