you could write a macro
-
not a hurco guy but is this what you are trying to do G52 X#501 Y#502 #501=0 #502=4.
-
uncheck keep tool down or force tool change HTH
-
you have 75% load on the z axis servo you dont want the servo to kick out on ya getting good insert life?
-
very nice tooling is everything do you think if you had more coolant psi you could push harder?
-
thad wasnt that a migrate tool from X2 to X3 thing
-
ya lets see some chips
-
some parameters got changed for X3 in the post do a search its been covered on what changed HTH
-
draw the radius profile of the tool(do not draw a line on zero to connect the profiles leave it open) on a new level or MCX file select a woodruff cutter and on the bottom of the tool definition page you will see 3 options for the custom tool / auto / custom file / custom level /select what you need and you should see the profile in the view area HTH

regular toolpath tab highspeed toolpath
-
look under the documentation in mastercam there is some info on posts once you get into the post its not that bad HTH
-
i also use misc values 1 = M250 2 = M252 misc reals mr1 = 3

arc filter is off smoothing is turned off i want to see if points will keep the feed up with G05.1 Q1
-
i should of said i was using 2D HSM coremill for the toolpath when i use 2D contour all is good (line segments) so why in a "highspeed" toolpath would you want arcs i tried this on another job with a feed of 800ipm and the machine was slowing down for the arcs and i was only getting 593ipm thats why i am trying to output lines just for this toolpath to help the look ahead
-
when i have i set this small MC gets the "not responding" thing going i wonder if i have some M/D wrong
-
i have been playing around with this and i took my 2d contour geo (6 arcs 2 lines) and broke it up into many lines .0005 long with a .0005 tolerance all is good when i check them they are lines but when i post code they are small arcs is there a way to get them to post out as lines without having to turn off arc output in the C/D having arc output off for the whole program is not what i want. i want to use line segments vs arcs to keep the feedrate up on the roughing cycle with a highfeed mill G05.1 Q1 any ideas? anybody else been playing with this? thanks in advance
-
i dont know what kind of control you are using but on fanuc you can set how much of a max or min value on an offset i just dont remember the parameter number
-
deleted the toolpath and started over and all is good now but i have a fresh session of MC so i dont know what made it work thanks for the help guys
-
i sent the file into mastercam and i will redo the toolpath and see what happens
-
i dont know why its is doing this i have tried keep tool down / distance / percent / old arc filter / new arc filter / smoothing on /off / linking parameters and i chained it profile first stock second im out of ideas but it still drives the tool right thru the part any ideas thanx in advance
-
you could also create a toolpath group named "setup" and just copy the ops you need for op 1 and a group for op 2 and post them out JM2C
-
you could try blend mill
-
mls sure when a job pops up next for it. what i have seen so far points are better for keeping up the feedrate with SGI on M250-M254, now that i know how to get the points finer i should be able to fly through them i will keep ya posted

thanks mark h
-
mark h what do you have your chordal deviation set too .00005? the size of the programs is not an issue i trip them off a ata card
