Steven: First thing I would recommend is to recalibrate your probe and toolsetter. .5024 diameter seems a little too far out of what should be nominal. Anytime our toolsetters (Renishaw) get beyond...

The combination you described would work perfectly for you. You can start out with a basic Gibbs setup(for what your describing now)and then upgrade as needed as your parts become more increasingly...

It would be much easier if you would upload your file. Please include what version of Gibbs you are running.

I do not think its included with the newer version. We had to modify our postprocesser. The G60 should work with any Haas machine old or new. BTW, we have older controller and a newer one.:cheers:
...

When we purchased our Haas, we was only able to negotiate on the add-ons (accessories) and the warranty. It was a percentage discount through the dealer (Haas factory outlet). Good luck with your...

Maechler,

Have you tried using G60 before your 4th axis moves. We have a 3YT with a TR110 trunnion which had issues on repeatability to my satisfaction. Haas tech came in and said the trunion was...

Here is one that I made. I used a 3/4" thick board (hardwood) and machined one game on each side. Turned out great.

I would giving GibbsCam a look. Easy to learn and user friendly. Can import your Catia files directly. We've been Gibbs users for about 10 years and love it.
GC :cheers:

Check out gSimple. Its a free cam package. Looks fairly intuitive. Read the manual and see if it post to Hurco.

Just a suggestion, I would look at gSimple for your CAM programming. Its free and seems to be fairly easy. They say that if you read the manual, the programming falls into place. Again its free so it...

You may want to check your chord height settings. Go to "File", "Preferences", and under display tab change the chord height setting to .0001". Sometimes if the chord height is larger it facets...

Anyone have a VFW logo in .dxf format. I'm also looking for a Sons of VFW also. Thanks in advance for any help.

Chaz, I just responded to your other post on a retrofit. We had the same issue plus many other maintainance issues. We could not stop the "bumping".The machine would almost seem to walk across the...

Hey Chaz, we retrofitted our 1995 Arrow 750 with a MachineMate controller from MAG (formally Cin. Milicron). Compared to the old CT, this system rocks!
We offline program so I cannot advise on the...

Sorry, but I don't have one to support a Fanuc. If you don't find one from someone here, you could contact Gibbs direct to purchase one. Pretty expensive but if you need it, you'll pay for it. Good...

Hello Flash,
To be able to get the correct post, we need to know exactly what machine you would like to output to(Make and Model). You are asking for an advanced mill post, fyi.
GC

We save a .psm (Sheet metal) to .dxf. It gives us a 2d view of the part where we then use our waterjet to cut the profile. Once you have the .psm file open, go to "File" - "Save as flat". You then...

You could try www.cncinformation.com website. Its relativitly new but looks like it might be a source of info for what your looking for. Good luck with your classes.

We had a similar problem with our GR 408 when we purchased it. Haas service reps do not know anything about ethernet functions beyond testing the machines ethernet connector. I also heard Albert is...

GibbsCam - 10 years and loving it.

Check out the post from OPTIMA back in May (about 13 below this one)

He has loads and can most likely set you up or check out BURGERBOY's posts.

He has links to a site full of posts also. Good...

I heard that IMG2CAD is a free software that can do what your asking. I saw a thread on the Gibbs board about it but have not tried it personally. Let us know how or if works out. I've been using...

I would try to save the posted file as a text format (.txt). We have used this without any trouble for years.

I suggest getting in contact with a Gibbscam reseller(or a CAM rep. from a

company of your choice) in your area and let them give a presentation to

your management team. They are well...

EL DUKE,

You could go to the forum under "Virtual Gibbs". There is a thread about

training there. If you have a seat of GibbsCam now, you can go under "Help"

and then "Getting Started" or...

We have been using GibbsCam for about 10 years. We run 90% 3d work and 10% 2d work. We enjoy the flexibility of Gibbs because of the Cad functionallity and versitility. We use Solid Edge as our main...

My vote goes to GibbsCam. Been using it now for over 10 Years. Simple on 2d and 3d. Does a good job on basic CAD 2d wire frame and solids. Produces good posted code for your machines. Great for...

Have you tried to call Hurco direct? 317-293-5309 if you have not already.
Good Luck.

You can try and call Robert Varney at 1-859-534-4748. He worked for Cin. Milicron before the split and now for MAG. He was their CT specialist. He should be able to help you out some way. Best of...

Solid Edge is our main CAD and we use GibbsCam for CAM. Gibbs has demonstrated to us though that drawing and manipulating solids is great. At our R&D shop, we do molds and vacumm forming (among...
