Hello
I would need your help. I am looking for a NC editor that I can also use to simulate zero offsets on the X and Y axis on the PC.
I try to explain the situation a bit more detailed:
I mill a circular pocket D=30, t=5, to simplify matters, then i set it in LBL and after that pocket is milled I move the zero point e.g. X+100, Y+100 and then recall my LBL. I repeat that x times on one work piece. What’s important is that it’s a roller that is clamped and supported in the dividing head and that I change the A and Y axes. (because of the handling)
I would like to simulate that on the PC. I am using Cimco v5 and Mastercam X5.
At the moment I am only able to simulate the contour so the circular pocket due to my current state of knowledge. However I would like to simulate the program with BLK on the PC like on the machine. It’s really annoying always having to run to the machine, simulate and the run back to the computer.
Sometimes I have up to 500 contours and these differ... have you got an idea / or what software can you recommend? ¿
