I found the problem. I have “router entry” which does not have ramp function and a whole slew of other opt great tools. We can’t justify spending $5000 to upgrade to “router one
is there any other way of achieving the ramp function. Or would I have to modify the gcode.
I’m relatively knew you CNC routing. I notice I’ve been errors on my osai controller when I use certain functions in certain tool paths. Lead-in/out , pocketing, and area mill. I’ve pin pointed that it has somethingto do with I,j,k in the gcode. I get an error message saying “different radius between initial-final points”. I’ve come to an edjucated assumption that it has to do with I,j,k values. It seems to happen anytime they are used. I’m in the process of learning gcode so I can make changes when I need to. Is there a way I can execute the same path using R Instead of ijk
anyways here is a snap of the controler
And also a snap where the error occurs
highlight is wher the error occrrrf
What I don’t understand is under pocketing operation there is ramp entry and helical entry options. But no ramp for contour. That seems odd to me. Upgrading to the next router level will cost about $5000. I don’t see my boss going for that. Just for a ramping option
I actually have the same question. I have mastercam router entry (first level of software). No mater what I do there is no option for ramp on contour. All I have is the option for 2d contour or 2d chamfer. No ramp option. The person that sold us the equipment said it’s not available on router entry. I find that hard to believe given I can I ramp on a pocket tool path. Any help would appreciated thanks
Thank you. I’ve gotten a little farther. Still learning basics. Again much appreciated. Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to up grade to level 2c
