    You can probably call the dealer to transfer the physical hasp. But if you got a hasp from your new version and have the old one I suppose you can hand it to some one as long as you don't violate any itar regulations.

    It came with a 6mm ball we had a 2 mm probe from our other machine and I tried it out. I calibrates fine and seems to perform ok. I slowed down the feed in the settings program just to be safe.

    This is almost always caused by the gouge check shortening your lead in because it was too long or the radius was too big or in certain cases when you chain an arc it can happen.

    Do you happen to know if this is a pay for option on FANUC or you just need to enable a parameter?
  5. Leon82
    No problem. Contour is good if you have a straight line cut so you can take advantage of the micro lift and back feed or if you have equal stock on all sides.

    Set the holes as an air region and use dynamic mill.

    Posted out a circle mill and got an error during posting. It said arc converted to line, contact your reseller. But I dug deeper and realised I had an over lap and spring passes. Removing the overlap fixed it. On pocket cycle you get a warning about spring passes not being output because of an overlap when the path is generated.

    right click, open with choose default program?

    Normally on fanuc you can use j2000 in the tap line and that is the retract rate. 2000 is just an example Any speed really

    I used it once because I was able to rough a pocket with an angled floor and finish the wall with cutter comp

    Make sure there wasn't material gummed up and stuck to the tap as well.

    Can you humor me and tell me what parameter 5200 bit 0 is set to and what the number in 5210 is
  13. Leon82
    You can Try to substitute y axis if you have enough x travel
  14. Leon82
    This is a 100% guess but if you set rotary axis page to rotary axis positioning will it spit the right code out?
  15. Leon82
    What you can't do is use a un-A guage to check a unj thread
  16. Leon82
    Yes, but a simple 3 axis machine may only need coolant and taping changes. More axes and parameters need more in-depth mods and logic.
  17. Leon82
    That cycle is called fine bore shift and there is a shift value field. There are parameters in the control of the machine also that change the shift direction so verify it shifts the correct way above the hole
  18. Leon82
    use one way instead of spiral and turn on the filtering
  19. Leon82
    We use one with and one after if we want both coolants on. Multiple mcodes is usually an option

    In the control panel there should be a mastercam icon , can't remember what it's called. Go in there and there should be about 5 things and one is to reset the ribbon bar. You will need to restart mastercam I have done this before but not in x6 ETA, this may have been for the bottom bar that shifted off the screen

    I always make curves an a separate level after import. I don't use every one but it looks better to me I also think it's easier to analyze dimensions with the curves
  22. Leon82
    Yours is based off a different post it seems.
  23. Leon82
    Do you have the look ahead on in the machine? Are you using an overlap in circle mill? how fast are you machining? Your guage idea would depend on what roundness or workmanship spec they call out
  24. Leon82
    Use the upper left folder icon to navigate where you have your machines stored.
  25. Leon82
    You have to click the manage option when you click machines, mill/lathe, unless it has changed since x9
