I am so glad you were able to fix the problem.

Are you talking to me?

Actually you have many choices for 4th axis programming.

Less talk and MORE COWBELL!

Actually Ananth said, "For your info the motion format for our machine is X Y I J U V K L (XYIJ being programming plane co-ordinates and UVKL being auxillaryplane co-ordinates)"

Where are your...

Post your geometry (3D) file here for help.

Thanks Jeff.

Yeah, you run that code H.C.

Yes, NX6 is your answer. I will try to find you some videos. Please post a pic, a sketch or a file of the part you are talking about

yuliany,



Did you mention Sarin Technologies on your website? There's your answer.



Yes they would and HAAS would have pics of their machines at Nasa in their Magazines and their website....

Interestingly put, but what on earth are you talking about? He is cutting a cone shape with a 4 axis wire EDM machine using 4 axis simulataneous linear interpolation. How would you code it newbie?

Sounds like your machine's problem not the program.

I like Gerry's version.

I went to the Sarin Technologies Ltd website and saw no mention of your product. Please provide a link to something you have not created that proves your "news." And please post your video too. A...

When will you put the video?

You don't have to, "prove to some one if the OPTO-ACT exists?"

Isn't that exactly what you are trying to do?

That's true for NX6, I tried it today. Not sure about NX5, I will check it out.

Hi,

I'm an NX and Catia guy.

Here's some interesting Siemens news:

This is what Team Center does:...

I think it would be a good idea if they added a drop down menu with all the C hooks listed on it. What say you Jayson?

Tell me how these 4 items are set exactly and I will tell you why.

Surface Finish -----> Parallel, Scallop or Contour

I vote for #1. If your drivers and motors are stalling then replace the drivers and motors and forget about #2. By the way Servos are much better than Steppers.

Gerry,

Where have you seen a Mach3 macro that will, "trace along an object, and record the commands that would duplicate the object?" I think you left some things out there. Like a Probe to do the...

Ananth,

I ran your part file through NX6 and this is the G-code I got:


N0010 G00 G90 X-1.0775 Y-.0984 U.3165 V0.0
N0020 G42 G01 X-1.0869 Y-.0801

Please delete this line----> / N108 G92 X10. Y10. Z10. and the 2 occurrences of ----> A0. and be happy.:cheers:

I never said I did not like your reply. I have no problem with that feature in any version.

Then what is his problem Jayson?

How is your Auto-Cursor set? Do you know what the AC is? How do you turn it on and off? How is this thing set? (see pic) It should be set to Single.

Which one? The newer Team Center Engineering or NX6? :D
