We got the machine. I think my boss said next-gen sent us a post to try. It's going to be an oddball in the shop.

you can draw the spindle nose as the top segments of the tool holder

can you define a second edge on that control with its own height offset?

is the retract feed rate zero and some paths are rapid retract and some aren't?

thats ours. i wonder what that means

Can't you tell it if wcs changes re issue position command? I did this with my probe cycle on the 5 axis. Instead of using force tool change of the wcs changes it zeros z and re issues unlock and positioning moves with the new offset ptlchg0$ #Call from NCI null tool change (tool number repeats) pcuttype pcom_moveb pcheckaxis c_mmlt$ #Multiple tool subprogram call comment$ #pcan result = newfs(15, feed) #Reset the output format for 'feed' pbld, n$, sgplane, e$ pspindchng if sopcomm <> sblank, sopen_prn, sopcomm, sclose_prn, e$ sopcomm = sblank if prb_flg = 1, #WCS CHANGE FOR PROBE [if workofs$ <> prv_workofs$, [ sav_absinc = absinc$ absinc$ = zero pbld, n$,"(WCS CHANGE RETURN Z TO ZERO)", e$ pbld, n$, *sgabsinc, *sgcode, sg49, "G53","Z0",e$ pbld, n$,"M132",e$ pbld, n$, *sgabsinc, *sgcode, pwcs, pfcout, e$ pbld, n$,"M131",e$ pbld, n$, sg43, *tlngno$, e$ pbld, n$,"(PROTECTED POSITIONING X AND Y)" ,e$ pbld, n$,"G65 P9510",pfxout, pfyout,e$ pbld, n$,"(PROTECTED POSITIONING Z)" ,e$ pbld, n$,"G65 P9510", pfzout,e$ pe_inc_calc ps_inc_calc absinc$ = sav_absinc ]

We've had good luck with transcend cards

We have parts where if the dovetail isn't torqued it affects the flatness of datums

Now they make a 42v same machine as the 35 but bigger max workpiece size

Back in the day Moore Tool had a jig-bore model for inspection if I recall

I made a sub program to go to b-90on the mam and blast it with thru spindle while rotating. The 30 seconds beats a night lost to a gap check alarm

If you can cut a lot of features with 1 tool you can probe the last feature cut. With CMM verification of the first part it should be a reliable fast check that won't eat too much time .

We do it for in process datum pickups a lot. Some for loading errors. I have it rejecting the pallet if it's mis loaded. You could use if for inspection and either make a macro to recut it and re inspect or reject the pallet and stop the machine. You have to tell it to ignore the out of tolerance flag and run your macro instead. Maybe a spring pass first then you can give it a ratio to adjust cutter comp. The book should have an example

I usually put it on top.some times I've had to put it in the op i created the stock

if you program using the solid can't you push/pull then regenerate?

What is your minimum step set to in the control definition?

I don't know if this is all customers but our Camplete help now goes through next-gen solutions. They have some videos on their website for altering output but their ticket response seems faster than Autodesk.

Tabs on both sides. Then chop off after the floor is done

I helped my coworker in the Nakamura lathe. It's m200 on there but during turning he gets a g73 canned cycle alarm but if it's in the cnc memory it doesn't alarm out. Is it looking for an internal sub program perhaps?

You have to keep it in single block from reset. If you start then go to single block it has already looked ahead. You have to stop on the g43 line. I do it all the time while twp is active on the gtech 31 on the matsuuras. It works with TCP but can be dangerous depending where it's going. Unless there is some random parameters that would prevent this.

What speed do you use. We want to try it on some 00-90 threads

They said they do not support them.

True story one of our matsuuras came in as cat so they shipped us the fingers from a demo machine in Minnesota while they ordered the replacement fingers.

Yes it's just the fingers on matsuura

Haimer makes holders as well as lyndex. We use haimer shrink and their er collet holders. We have a few lyndex slim chuck and dream holders also. Command also but they don't make their 3" er11 holders in bt40 anymore
