    Re: Program Tool Numbers Idea

    Re: Program Tool Numbers Idea

    We'er a job shop. We can run most parts in several different machines dependent on what's running. The issue with tool numbers is you never know what tool pockets are open. So you end up making...
  5. Zero Flute, O-flute or Chatterless Countersinks

    I've founfd these to be the best countersinks. For manual use they self center and don't chatter. In production use in CNC they leave no face burr. Sadly they wear quickly. Looking for a carbide...

  12. Tool Life Management Not Based On # Of Cycles Or Cut Time

    Been working with Fanuc's TLM. Seems to have only two ways of determining tool life. Number of cycles or time in cut. I'm thinking of something that detects spindle/axis load changes. But the load...

    Re: gibbs vs mastercam!

    One reason is that MC doesn't charge for posts. The thing is MC posts suck compared to Gibbs'. Never understood why Gibbs never promoted their post engine more. I my mind it's what puts Gibbs ahead...

    I upgraded to 2012 from 2011. In 2011 I could input 7/8 to get .875 for a dimension or feature distance but that doesn't seem to work anymore. Do I need to turn that on somewhere or is that feature...
  18. Re: Rotation of feature sub prog issue....

    It depends on the post you're using but make sure that the "prefer subs" box is unchecked in the operation dialog. Some posts always generate subs for repeats.

    It's not Gibbs so much as it is the post he's using. Have your Gibbs dealer alter the post to put out a full start-up stanza at the beginning of each operation. This may become a problem when working...
  23. Re: Just got GibbsCam Advanced 3D, but I think I'm not doing it right. Let me explain

    It could be that at 100IPM the controller can't keep up. My 15M Enshu vertical can't keep up with code like that but my Toyoda with an 18i has no problem. Check the spline tolerance in "Preferences"....

    Upload your .VNC file and a print or pic of the geometry so we can see what you are trying to do. But it sounds like your line is not connected and\or not terminated.

    Re: Going from 2 monitors to 1 crippled SW

    Yeah you can whack it in the registry but you lose all your customization. So I grabbed the boss' monitor while he was at lunch. Really, how hard is it to scan the graphic environment on start up?
