I'm just trying to get camworks to post out my dwell correctly. All I want to do is have the post pick up the spindle speed and divide that by 120.. I've tried everything that I can think of. I would...

OK, so.. how would I go about making that show me what I want then. I know that the machinist doesn't use G54-59 at all for X axis, so those are always set at 0. Is the only way of doing this by...

So, we just got a new Haas lathe. We are used to the older Fanuc lathes, so its not that big of a difference. We came across one tho.

In the Fanuc, in MDI if we type:

T1111 G00 X8.9 Z0.

What reseller are you using? The maintenance fee seems really high, unless that is solidworks and camworks maintenance together? I can't seem to find my quote, but iirc the yearly fee is around...

I just installed HSMXpress a couple days ago. It's a free 2.5d machining addon for Solidworks. Their support so far has been pretty good, the userbase looks to be pretty good too. I can't say too...

Well, a couple years ago I was looking into getting integrated CAM software, but that was around the time the US economy decided to take a dive and it just wasn't feasible to do. So, of course I...

barsse,

not that I know of. G02/03 worked fine out of the box. Here is what I found as far as parameter lists for using EIA/ISO as far as sending programs to the machine.

CNC DNC Settings for...

Well, if the controller does EIA/ISO programs , then it should read G02/G03 just fine.. I take it your DNC'n straight from the PC? Can you just load the program into the machine and try it there?

Thanks dry run..

We figured out the 4th axis problem by going through the parameters one by one. Someone had 369 where 360 should have been.. Easy fix.. :)

As for the GOTO100 command.. do you...

Just got a new (to us) Mazak v550b mill with a m32 controller. I have a few questions hopefully someone can answer.

1. Does anyone know what parameter(s) for the 4th axis control the error? At...

nevermind, we broke down and bought them.

I'm looking to purchase a few M32 manuals. I'm in dire need of the Mazatrol, Parameter, and Operator manual. If anyone has them on disc and wants to offset the cost of what they bought them for yell....

Kai DK,

Create your shaft, goto insert > annotations > cosmetic thread

There you can set your M6 thread, or any other thread you want..

heya Mike.. Depends on what type of part it is.. If your doing 3D contouring, and touch all of your tools off of the top stock of the part.. What happens if you cut away that part with a ballmill and...

check your surfaces.. It sounds like some of them aren't joined.

Thats OK jschaudt.. You can always save as a parasolid file and he can import that.

No problem, and the only bad question is the one that isn't asked.. I would suggest going through the tutorials that come bundled with SolidWorks first ( help -> SolidWorks Tutorials )

Then you...

Its simple.. Open a new part/assy/drw file.. change the settings to your liking. Then click save, and save as a template.

Well, we finally figured it out yesterday.. The turret had 4 switches for 10 tools.. A round bar is on the end of it and at any given time in position 1 of the switches was open. The gear was a few...

machine: 1988 daewoo puma 12 with fanuc 0T control
serial: coco puffs.. lol # 420096

I posted this on a.m.cnc, but figured I'd mirror it here..

<quote>

OK, this is really starting to...

Should have just answered your question then.. Never know if someone else is going to have the same problem ;)

Could be a couple things.. What options do you have set for the splines? What version are you saving as? etc..

Jared, you really should look to see the age of a post before bringing it back to life.. Last post in this thread was 09-24-2007 03:20 PM.. ;)

I would call your companies VAR and ask them..

It's a Daewoo Puma 12 , with an OT controller.. Not sure what series, I'm thinking B but could be wrong.

I looked at param 45, and nothing is in there so I dont think thats the correct parameter. ...

Im going to guess that its a B.. There is a -B4 when you first power up the machine.

There is no presetter.

The numbers are positive when you home it out.

We have an older Daewoo lathe that we just picked up and are rebuilding.. It has come to our attention that when the reset button is pushed, the only thing it cancels is the feed. What parameter do I...

I'm guessing your doing some fine intricate 3d profiling with arcs that small. I still say that the problem is that the J isn't being introduced into the mix, but I could be wrong. The manual does...

That code looks a bit strange.. Not sure what your trying to accomplish with it. Are you trying to move in a YZ arc? If so, then you should have G19 enabled (moving in the YZ plane) then your code...

Just a guess, but did you have an antivirus program running when you installed? That could have messed with something.

What operating system are you using?
