this works except when it gets to the bottom of my surface or the " pattern to " line and the tool jumps around to the other side of the line.....still looking
on a mazak integrex,
i simply was hoping for a single tool path to go around this part ( portion attached ) and finish the tops of the ribs. But i can not find a way
to have the tool path move to the edge of the tool, and not the center. the " diameter ( for simulation) " option seems to do nothing. can these paths
not be used like this, and my post will not post a G41 for comp under any compensation option, is this possible? Yes i know I can do this with a gview tilted
and simple 2-D path with transform but was hoping for one 5 axis path todo all.
Thanks

Not sure what im missing with this but, i want to simply helix down then comp on and finish the circle. but backplot shows the
tool moving to centerline of the tool when going to finish the circle. i read in help that for backplot to show correctly there is
the diameter ( for simulation) option when in control but it seems to do nothing. It doesnt post out a G41 for comp either??? yes it seems
to work just fine when compensation is in computer but.
Since moving to MC2019 if saving a model from Mastercam 2019 as an .xt file and try to open it in Solidworks 2017 i get a "modeler version error"???
Anyone heard of this yet.
I'm Very new to multi axis tool paths, as seen in the picture attached, i have pockets wrapped around a diameter and need to rough/finish them.
They have around +.130"/surface stk so.... i was hoping a swarf?? just wanted to go in and around the walls and then a constant scallop of some type for floor??
any suggestions would be appreciated!!
I am trying to helix down roughing holes on a angle around an I.D. (also angled). Is there no way to have compensation turned on to "control", last move after helix ( comp move) runs the
middle of my cutter (radius) around my circle at final depth. with compensation on "computer" it works great. but for finish adjustments, there would be none. What am i missing??
ummmm not sure
invar 36 per ASTM F1684-06
heat treated and annelled
and now i get to final machined it so.......
everything online has suggestions for high speed, im using carbide of course
Well......... my only fix so far is to rotate my profile orientation to how i want it FIRST , then rotate it back to 0 deg about the origin, then
rotate to 45 degrees in the tool path. both Z & X seem to get good numbers.
just was wondering (hoping) if there was a way to do this in tool path or setup instead of having to draw all tools off center that i plan on rotating.
Programming a mazak intregrex, setting up a turning tool and want it to turn with the B axis @ 45 deg.
problem is when i initially draw the profile to create the custom tool the profile needs to be straight (pic 3).
I rotate the tool in the tool path with tool angle ( pic2) which works and post b45 but my Z numbers are off because its rotating the tool around origin not the
center of the nose rad.
am i missing something in tool path or do i need to draw the profile differently?
FYI: i didnt draw profile on the angle first because then i cant get the B rotation to post out
pic 1 is how far its off when rotated
yep only way i know of as of now also, this particular part has some odd shapes being cut out and was trying to avoid the time in dummy toolpaths.
thanks
