Mastercam 2019 toolpath manager missing
Out of interest, why is it that you want compensation in roughing cycles? Do you run the cycle without any stock to leave? I guess in the old style the 1 toolpath did everything for you as you had roughing and finishing in 1 process including compensation on the finish. It sounds like is sorting out having it included and in the mean time we can continue to use the old style toolpaths until it’s there. We’ve used the wear compensation for a long time now on both milling and turning and has always been the best way for us to work. I’m aware how both of those compensation modes work but they’re not how we run any of our machines. If there is a problem with calculated path, machine will alarm and you have to figure out why so "In computer " compensation is preferable way to for the reply. Unlike with "In computer" compensation, "In machine" compensation is calculated as tool progresses thru cutĪnd compensation is applied to all arc and taper cuts. Tool path output should produce numbers corresponding to print dimensions and G41, G42 and G40 where required. (tip #3 for turning tool working front to back) In operation cutting tab, select "In control" compensation.Īt the machine, input radius value into "R" field of geometry offset for tool in use.Įnter tip number into "Tip", "T" or "P" field for tool in use. In field for tip radius selection, select "custom" and enter zero for radius value. In case of having "In computer" and "In control" compensation there is currently right way to use both.ĭefine tool using "Tip tangent" and in cutting tab of operation, select "In computer" compensation.Īll required compensation will be in resulting tool path. I recently posted about lock of compensation in roughing cycle, waiting on resolution.
