Well, lesson learned! At least you didn't blame the machine like others would do! :-) :-)
If you can't get hold of anyone here, just call EMI they have rebuilt boards in stock generally -...
Origin key - then "delete all rows", I believe.
ha ha ha! I hope it wasn't a circular direction! :o Did you get it fixed?
Zane, those LED's on the boards are supposed to slow blink, I know none of them are usually solid-on. I would say PM George (machinetek) on here or call EMI (electro-mechanical integrators). That...
Totally makes sense. I think this could be easily done with folders on the server, too.

I don't even bother keeping anything relative to parts in the O##### schema. I use txt extensions rather than nc. I name the text file, so the name matches what part and op I'm doing. I don't care...
You could try:
Tell your CAM to output arcs instead of linear segments (this is the faceting you were asking about)
Adjust the two parameters in the controller for max edge rounding / finish...
Yeah, but did you see it got resurrected by Nav7 above? Not by me.
Not sure where this topic is really going, but to figure this out just look at used machine prices. In other words, a 5 year old VF-whatever is worth $___K on the used market (go to kdcapital or...
I agree too, just email or call Mecsoft. Their support is really awesome.
But this thread sits really bad with me, blaming good software when you clearly have something configured wrong in your...
Just got the announcement for visual mill 2014! Hoorah!! Constant engagement roughing is in !!
Yeah, ours was the same exact switch, but due to the arm coming loose. The switch was actually just fine. So check two spots: the bearing and shoulder bolt, and the set screw where the arm...
No as i said you can't import an stl as a stock model.
Just get to the parameter and run the toolchanger in and out using the tool load function, no need to wait for the error. I think it's even in the parameters page we're talking about under the...
I'll see if I can find the exact parameter number, it's in the maintenance screen. Our software is the DX-32, so I don't know if that is different from what is visible to each of us. The simple...
+1 for proximity sensor problems. We don't have your exact machine but I bet the changer is the same.
We had the "not safe" error too, it was the return sensor not telling the control the...
I had the same prob. I did two things: 1) Save your library as a vkb file. 2) edit speeds and feeds in the tool library vs. in an operation. For some reason it doesn't transfer to the library...
OK I'm at work now, there's an export stock as STL feature, but no import for "custom" stock. I'd just do two layers if you need something else. I can't imagine what you're trying to do otherwise. ...
you can import more than one solid and just put them on separate layers. Would that work? I'll see if 2012 supports that custom stock in the morning
Awesome! Glad I could be of help!
Here you go - try this file. Just set the roughing to one pass at full depth of cut (in this case 1.5") and set the ramping distance to be equal to that or greater (1.5")
hi John, so you're after a continuous ramping. Now it all makes sense. My only suggestion there would be play with the entry angle and length of the "along path" entry parameters to drag it out as...
Hey John, maybe we all could help if you'd be more clear.
"lead in and lead out" - sorry I didn't get that as it's not a VisualMill term that correlates with any toolpaths. I have no idea that's...
You can easily ramp between levels. Entry/Exit tab: check the box to apply at each level. Depending on what you're doing, consider making the retract zero and the clearance plane for transfers to...
Obi, did the plate go down flat? We tried some grease under a plate, and it didn't go so well even though we did our best to put it on evenly. Ended up pulling the plate up and cleaning off the...
I've been using Spaceclaim for about 5 years (I think) now. It's super fast to model, we also use Solidworks, and it's the shiz to be able to go back and forth between the two.
Keyshot works OK,...
PM me your email address and I'll send you the pdf's. Not sure if I have the schematics in PDF, but I do have the user and programming manuals. There are 3 manuals we have for our TC 22 machine:...
So what is a good warmup routine? I've been doing 1K rpm for about 1/2 hour. No table motions, though. Machine is usually at about 45 to 50 deg. F most of the year.
Should I write a program to...
Call EMI, they are the Bridgeport gurus.
