Hey all,
We have a 6030 with the Numatix retrofit. I love the speed of the control but we have issues with cutter compensation and I was wondering if any on here had any experience with this. When programmed with Cutter comp. and an arc on -arc off move it will sometimes skip the contour and only perform the arc on-arc off move. Other times it will add an arc and I have had it cut way too big. Mind you this is intermittent. It works sometimes,sometimes it doesn't. Its really frustrating because it will work on one part but not another. We are using Surfcam to program and the cut parameters can all be identical and it will still not consistently perform the the cutter compensation. I can perform a line on-arc off move but i get a dwell mark that is not acceptable on some features. Most times I have to re-draw the contour and re-program to make up the difference in my tool size. Sorry for the wall of text but I figured the more info I gave you gurus the better.
Thanks in advance for your help,
5th
