Thanks, you have to create a plane at the z depth you want looking at the part from the top

and then have that cplane picked works nice

its called 2d profile on page 3

I doubt it unless you have some sort of load monitoring which is an option or if you have probing!

I do not understand how the solid to 2d profile works it lays the lines and arks away from the part

I think the thread fromt before might help on creating curves

Fanuc and Mitsu wires!

you should be good to go! I usualy just do contour to control my lead in from the center of hole. and add a z to the G3 line = to the pitch

but either way should be good to go.

Hey mine is right just rechecked the only thing that looks diffrent is his corners

will do

I copied over my other file lousyfilletrick

did you get that Jack?

I think that it can be done pretty quick in mastercam but the original model is not quite constructed right.

it is fixed sorry about that

sorry I will redoo .125 is what you wanted

.25 was that wrong?

see if thats what you wanted

I saved it on ftp site same place as original but lousyfillet rick

JACK

it is something with the rad on the right side bottom view

Watcher sorry it took so long to answer you can have assembly drawings of tools and have them by part # so the kitter can put the tools together with proper gauge length and tool stick out

we made it a 9000 program that runs prior to new setup so there is no mistake on adjustments.

just a thought.

do you run aa G10 prior to new program to clear all wear values?

good call, I didn't think of that!

do you also G10 your work offsets?

very close to ours, are kitter presets to our setup sheet also, then he downloads the preseats into a file that gets pulled into the machine with the program.

I went into a shop that has a chip on the tool holder that keeps all the info for that tool.

tool life, length, diameter, and wear

it was very cool, could transfer between machines and they would warn when tool life was out and be exchanged for a backup.

in our cells we run tool life management on everything and all lengths are set and some are checked for breakage also.

we keep the G10 program seperate from the main so if there is adjustments made in tool data it will not be reread from the program.

if your G10 is in the main lengths will need to be adjusted in the program potential for disaster.

This is a great idea!

few questions

are you telling the kitter what gauge length you need

or is the kitter setting the tool and then telling you the gauge length

do you preset already and batch the g10's during file transfer

not sure who its from but it is good can keep track of cutting tools, tool holders setups and all inspection equipment
