Hi,
I posted a movie on Youtube;


This is done in SW 2014 and Bobcam V3.

However , it works alright in SW2012 and V2.
If I import the V2 file into SW2014 and run the simulation it is fine.

I cannot find the error I must have made in V3. It looks that the starting point of the anvil is on the wrong side,

Any ideas please,

Jos

I still cannot make a decent groove in BobCam V3.

I have a solution;
In SW 2012 and V2 the Groove Feature is good. No problem.
I saved the Groove Feature as Feature Groove.bcot

This I imported into SW2014 and V3 in the V3 Features Folder.
Next I loaded this feature in my part file, selected the grooving geometry and “voila” the toolpath is perfect.

Don’t tell me that the Groove Feature in V3 is not “bugged”
Prove me wrong !!

Hello Jos,

We did make a change to how we compensate cutters in lathe for V3

Attachment 237974

We now offer 3 types of system compensation which effects how the tool path is generated on your parts.

System Compensation

This specifies whether or not the system compensates for the insert geometry and the tool nose radius.

•Off - the selected geometry is used as the program path; Machine Compensation should be used.


•On with Collision Detection - the system compensates for the tool nose radius and the insert geometry and avoids any detected collisions.


•On without Collision Detection - the system compensates for the tool nose radius and the insert geometry without checking for collisions.

OK Al,

On with Collision Detection seems to do it.
A quick check returned the right movement of the anvil.
No collisions anymore.

I'll start a new drawing to be sure that no leftovers from previous attempt are present.

Thanks a lot for looking into this.

Hi Everyone,

I just did a brand new drawing in SW & V3.

Used the settings Al DePoalo recommended and that worked fine.
No more collisions in Lathe Simulation.

A simple solution to something I racked my brains on.

It is save to say that this topic is closed.

Thanks Al.

Here is a short video explaining these options and the effect they have on your tool path.




You will notice some clearance issues in my groove cycle. You can easily adjust this by changing your lead in out
