Jim Have you looked at a Faro arm and verisurf?

Jim I am very interested in the position. Email me at home please [email protected]

Jim you have mail again

you have mail Jim

Jim send it to me.

I think there is some info on the FTP site in the folder: MCX Post stuff

try clicking esc. key

Thad you got mail

We have Haas VF 8s with trunions (2) Vf 3s with trunion (3) VF 2s (4) Toolroom mills (3) Lathes SL30s with C axis (3) SL20 C axis Toolroom lathe and Haas EC2000 Horizontal with trunion and rotary. We do aircraft work Alum. power generation parts stainless to Haspaloy inconel and so on no real problems we purchase gear driven when possable. With that said you have to keep your feeds within reason. We have excellent service mostly instalation. The Haas dealer is right down the street from us.

I use the automated programming all the time with a faro arm.

Josh quote: For some reason I can't get the debug to work in this post??? Am I doing something wrong? You need to turn it on in the machine and or control deffs also.

Colin show me some code mine was way to many z moves Thanks for looking

Josh welcome to the lathe canned cycle nitemare club lol

Hey all i am getting brain dead I think. Trying to mill slots on a trunion in this part. I have spent all day trying to get it, I have done this before with no problems, any one want to help? file is in X2 folder on ftp site named 223C2447.MCX thanks in advance, need to get this running ASAP.

Ron Did you get my email?

Pee Wee You could try air instead of coolant also.

Ron Has this been fixed for you?

I have folders: McamX : McamX2 MR1 I have the latest mr2 sp1 If I uninstall or even change the name of McamX my Mc won't start?

Try posting it as 4 axis with the proper config.

you would be moving in Z and X I dont think that would work face drilling.

I do it to but turn on stop on a collision and it will say a crash now and then also when regenerating.

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The tool libraries weren't updated as there are almost infinite combinations of inserts and holders that can make up lathe tools. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes this is true, but some of the more common ones need to be added, ID OD undercutting at an angle 45 30 60 degree, Insert drills, Knurling has been around for years not in MC. Also can MC do various types of canned threading infeeds like alternating flank and modified flank,most machines this is a P#? Also why does threading take so long to verify? There are an infinte combinations of end mills and MC is always adding knew styles, It seems like the lathe end is what it is and thats that. The canned rough and finish issues have been around for years. And all the misc ops are great if we had some skeleton code at least one post so we could setup are updated post to use this.
