hy rukam :) i can only help for okuma machines

as for fanuc, i recomand to contact this guys : amit20 aadinug ablackwell; i don't know to what extend they can help you, but i saw them debating...

Hy, for 1inch hole, 1inch deep, thus 1 l/d, rough it as you like, then go with interpolation with short endmill ( thus rigid ), active length < 1 inch, resize helix to overcome any out of rotund...

Hy, if You wish, share/show curent workflow, describe what You wish to change, and we talk / kindly :)

hy rlaury :) you will have to discover the limits of your machine by yourself

is good to have a bunch of tools and some material, to experiment :)

is hard to begin with all 3 ( rpm feed doc )...

sometimes default tips aren't long enough, or don't fit : this is why i made custom ones

pls find attached image, with general guidance / kindly :)

its a bit complicated only when you do it the 1st time :)

Lucky me, there was examples and formula inside the programing manual; coding the same example was easy, but what took me longer was to...

hy gary :) i can help with a custom application, that will scan your code and identify operations ( by searching for home positions, etc ), then allow you to reorder them

for drilling, just use...

hy :) pls share photo with turret

is there c or y axis ? kindly :)

i was refering to the nut that conects the stem to the taster body; pls check attached :)

as for the zero/zero, is possible to do the math and craft a proper replaceable probe ... i had done such...

sorry superman, by palpator i reffer to probe tip ... my english :)



i used to align the probe from those 4 screws, but each time i did it, my back hurt, because the spindle is a bit far from...

hy :) i can help you use 3d tasters and reniswhas, even if the probe is not "true"

if you know what you do, there is no need to true it

also, if you break palpators, is possible to craft your...

hy :) i can help you with a custom app, that will deliver g-code for text on a curve / kindly :)

hy :) i can help you with a custom app, that will scan & fix your code / kindly :)

hy :) a drill delivers best cilindricity if it is being used inside an existing hole

for example, if you only have a drill o10mm and expect to achieve a hole as cilindrical as possible, then use...

hy super :) i think it looks "hard" because i tried to diferentiate between spindle sense and grooves direction

nowadays a common left endmill would have flutes in opposite direction in respect to...

hy :) it's possible to have the toolholder/endmills with groove/flutes straigth, to the left/right, and all those combinations will use same spindle sense

there is no conection between spindle...

hy :) it does not matter if the reference is on outer space ... really doesn't; let's say that this center is XcYc, relative to the uper left (XoYo)



set XoYo
cut 1st hole at X1.1 Y-0.73
...

hy john :) sometimes rotary axis can be tricky



x axis is behaving normally, it is a linear axis/default stuff, with no relation to the rota

but the rota alone seems to have it's own mind...

hello pette :) but of course cam systems can output smooth splines, at accuracy beyond what a cnc system can handle



if machine is expected to interpolate nurbs, then if inital code :
... has...

hello again :) please, how a cam achieves smoothnes and how a cnc does it ?



for most machines, nurbs is out of the question, toolpaths are line/arch, and most parts are simple

so i ask : is...

hey, it looks nice :)

yes, if you put it like that, is ok :)

but the way you asked initially, was like hoping for a break to be there, to lock it ...

attached image shows a trapezoidal and an S curve ( that should perform theoretically smoother)

in other words, positioning in rapids on a performant cnc that follow trapez, will behave smoother...

hy mactec :) there is okuma application for step-nc ( 3d ), and also it's conversational can auto generate operations for 2d contours; it requires some time consuming definitions ...

replacing the...

hy pette :)



on actual machines, those points become so close, that it interpolates at suffice accuracy considered real motion :) so is no longer point2point, but high resolution interpolation,...

hello pete :) i delay some answers, trying a simple way to put it

common cad geometry is "point line circle elipse bezier", while for g-code is only "line circle"

"point" is not for cnc...

the cam software can generate a toolpath for constant chip thickness, but using chip load control inside a cnc is a different thing :)

for a cnc, is easy&common to achieve constant load (cl), but...

morning pete :) yeees, that was a retorical question ... i wish to highlight that the feedbackloop will deliver in places where cam with/without mcs algorithm and top simulations will fail

the...

hey pete, this is adaptive :) your thinking is ok, but from the machine perspective, it does not know that it targets chipload

machine has no clue how much if it's load is caused by cutting;...

if you use a cam with mcs algorithms, and there is also a virtual FE to analize motion, will it output smooth motion ?

can you trust your top tier CAM and FE, to remove the feedback loop ?
