Good day to you all, hopefully I am in the right section for this question.

Could anyone offer any advise as to how I can generate three equally spaced "elliptical" face grooves at 60.0 degrees x...

Update, I think I have found the answer to my question. From Feature Cam Help-

"When milling features are wrapped around the index axis, one coordinate axis is converted from linear moves into...

Good day to you all, I am having problems with the X axis Wrapping on a job.

I want to cut a 60.0 degrees slot x0.250 deep on the OD of a 3.500 dia bar.


I have calculated the length of the...

Good day to you all, I have a job interview in the next few weeks for a position with a company that uses Edge Cam and was wondering if there is a trial version of the software I could familiarize...

Good day to you all, as a rule I use the Vargus Threading software for code generation when milling thread forms but we have threadmill cycles on FC so I decided to have a look at them the other day...

Thanks for the help, I managed to find a local company who specialize in lifting systems. They have a product which is perfect for our requirements, Scissor clamps which I am guessing are the same...

Good day FlorinMBV

Create your features as normal select tooling etc and run the simulation.

Go back into the feature properties on your Toolbox and tick the "Cut Feature Using Y Axis...

Good morning all, I am having difficulty sourcing lifting equipment for a job that will be arriving shortly.

The billets that I need to lift onto the CNC Milling Machines are approx 12 x 6.5 x...

Greetings to all, I am based in the UK and therefore more familiar with Metric threads, so could someone please advise me on UNC and UNJC Threadforms.

The problems I face is that I need to cut a...

Hi again, sorry for the delay in replying, thank you all for your help. AngelW, you were spot on there, I can now clearly see the error I was making, sometimes I don't see the wood for the trees. The...

Hi, I am working on a macro to aid a milling operation of various sized castings we regularly machine. Its quite a simple profile, straight edge around an arc and back to a straight edge (X and Y...

Hi to you all, I have recently been asked to look at the programming of our Turn/Mill machine tool as we have been experiencing a few problems with it. I have experience with milling and turning but...

Well I haven't been able to post for a few days but can't believe I didn't spot the solution to this straight away. As it happens, I was doing some tip radius calculations on threading inserts when I...

Hi to you all, having one of those days where I just cant seem to get the brain working right. could someone please point me in the right direction for the trigonometry formula for finding point B on...

Hi to everyone. I want to make a video for Youtube showing the CAM simulation but I don't know how to go about recording the simulation. I know how to take a "still" screenshot but I am guessing...

Thanks hjl4, I did not know that, I will have a look.

Thanks again PC :)

By the sounds of things, they have not bothered updating it since they purchased the system. In fact as far as I can gather, they haven't really used it at all, its just been on the laptop which is...

Hi to you all, just getting into the 3D side of CAM and I have access to FeatureCam 2013 and OneCNC XR4 Professional but the shop where I work doesn't do any 3D work so we don't have any 3D models. I...

Well, thanks for the post PC, I think we are going to have to upgrade our old shop floor laptop. Its been refusing to install any updates of late so unfortunately the post processor you gave us wont...

Hi PC, thanks for the help, you was certainly on the right track there but it looks like I do not have any turn/mill post processors. Found the posts folder and the turn mill folder is empty! Don't...

Hi to you all, just getting acquainted with FC 2013 and finding it a very nice package. So far I have created a few simple standard milled components using the milling features and have also created...

Thanks for all the advise, all very helpful. I have also spoke to a friend who knows a little bit about computers and he mentioned that if I was going to purchase a mid range laptop then i would be...

Hi to you all. Thinking of purchasing my own CAM system, just one of the more reasonably priced ones which will be adequate for my requirements. I want to be mobile with the CAM package so I will be...

I tried the G81 line this morning using the K0 on the end of the line and it worked fine (stopped the drill cycle from being executed at that co-ordinate) so problem solved. Thanks for the help...

Hi Uly, maybe I am also missing something but I have used the stated method of L0 at the end of the drill cycle line many times no matter whether I had X0, Y0, included in the drill cycle line or...

I think the model of the control is Fanuc OI Mc (?) thats what it says on the front of the control panel anyway. You could be onto something with the K as I had a look through one of my books and...

Hi to you all, having a bit of a problem with the Fanuc Controller on a Dah Lih Machining Centre. The system does not seem to recognise the L0 on the end of a drilling cycle and therefore drills a...

Thanks dcoupar, I will give that a go when I get back to work tomorrow. :)

Hi to you all, been doing a few components on the mill lately which would have benefited from the G68 Rotation command but I am having problems with it. I keep getting an alarm stating ROTATION...

Hi to you all, could not find a section of the forum to post this question so I will try here.

The lathe in question is a Colchester Multiturn running a Fanuc OI-TC (I think thats right) Control...
