Offset Diameter Cam Turning/Milling on Lynx 2100
Hello, Anybody got some Ideas on this?
I am having trouble programming a .250" offset 1.5" +-.006 Dia on 2" OD, on our just purchase Doosan Lynx 2100LYA. Getting .07" out of round. I am trying to do this with a vertical 1/2 endmill with a R.03.
The E-Z I software on the control wants me to do it as a live tool face, but with the tail stock and clamping less than 3/8" deep on a hex and my offest diameter starts at -1.625 and finishes at -2.875" , it rules that out as a possibility.
The strange part is I use a 1/2 Ballnose endmill and i am getting .030" out of round, I tried using a 1/4" 90 degree point endmill and its only out .002" Tried a CMNG insert and turning it, comes out perfectly round too, but taking out all that material, I am only pushing 1/8" DOC and .005 stepover, I am pushing the head as fast as it rotates but it takes a lot of time, as I am doing a lot of these pieces.
I also tried mucking about changing the rad in the program but if I increase or decrease it, I get some pretty cool egg shaped designs.
It's like I almost have to program some kind of tip comp in.
Also included a pic of what I am trying
I got a program off this forums and modified the diameters.

Thanks for any input, as I am new to programming lathes, and my company decided I'll be the one they throw in head first to learn it.

Do you have the classroom manual?
I wrote them way back when I worked for Doosan, and I'd be glad to send you a copy.

Zounds!
You could use Polar Interpolation - G12.1...
