Hi you guys... Does anyone know if a Mill needs to be compadible or updated to be able to run High Speed Programs? I've been trying the High Speed Toolpaths on Mastercam, and I've been pretty happy with the toolpaths I generate but the Mills (Haas and Mazak) does not seem to be able to run at optimum High Feed.... They run the toolpath program as I programmed it to, but they run slower than what the Feedrate is showing. Not only that but on my Mazak (5x), the toolpaths seem to take short cuts in to my part - causing damage. It seems like the controller can't keep up with the Feedrate - and can't seem to read the program fast enough. What do you guys think? Does anyonw know what is the problem? Do the Mills need to be upgraded to do High Speed Machining?
