Unfortunately, I don't have a wear offset screen on my computer, I just have a straight offset table. I've been using the offset 100 from whatever tool number. For example, if I'm using #7 for my height offset, I'll call a G41 D107 for the wear offset. The offset tables were added after my 99 was built.

Thanks! Do you mean, how do you backup the parameters to an external source like the compact flash card or via serial?

@VectorMfg hi,thanks for reaply...yes,i need to backup all parameters with flash card or RS232 .

@@jarkazoki Unfortunately, I don't have the SRAM backup card yet, so I can't show you that. The guide I've found that I plan to once my card is delivered is: www.cnc1.com/hubfs/fanuc-library/Fanuc_30i_SRAM_Backup.pdf I'm not sure that it'll work on my system, because I believe the CF reader is broken. I don't have time to take a video on how to back up the parameters via RS-232 right now, but this video is the walk-through I needed: ua-cam.com/video/aM_jW2hkO_E/v-deo.html

@@VectorMfg thanks again for answer,i have see video and now is litle clear to me...

Hello! Yeah, you want to post out moves like that in Inverse Time (G93 www.haascnc.com/service/codes-settings.type=gcode.machine=mill.value=G93.html), or, preferably, if your machine has it you'll need to use TCPC (G234 www.haascnc.com/service/codes-settings.type=gcode.machine=mill.value=G234.html). What's happening to you is that it's putting your desired feedrate (say, F100), however, the control is reading that and it's converting that into Degrees Per Minute, so it's rotating at 100°/min, which means each revolution of the screw will take ~3.6 MINUTES, which is probably about 20 times slower than you want to run! You may need to edit your post to enable that functionality, and possibly talk to your Haas dealer if that doesn't have it. If neither is available, and you're cutting at a constant speed, you can enable degrees per minute output, but be careful, because every line will need a feedrate line and horizontal moves (that don't move the A axis) may come out wickedly fast. It's hard to get the post dialed in like that if you can't run TCP or Inverse. You often have to change your cutting strategy to just do spirals or arcs in the rotary.

That's a bit tricky :) One of the reason I designed Unified was to give easy access to the Geodesic engine in the ModuleWorks toolpaths. This is using one of those toolpaths, but there is a "back door" that was put into Mastercam a few years before Unified came out :) What you'll want to do is use the Parallel toolpath with all relevant features selected manually (like, in my automatic example, you'd choose the upper and lower curves, as well as the curves at the base of the two "ears"), then, expand "cut parameters" go to "advanced options for surface quality" page, then, switch from Approximate to Exact. That should give you a similar toolpath.

If you have a file you'd like me to do a quick demo on, shoot it over to aeberhard@vector-mfg.com and I'll try to slot it in.

​@@VectorMfg Thanks a lot, its a deeper learning for me😊

​@@VectorMfgkept your email id. Anytime i may bother you.

​@@VectorMfgkept your email id, would bother you soon.

Glad to hear it, sir! That's what I'm going for :)

You're welcome :)

Thanks for always watching, Shane!

You're welcome!

Thanks for watching! If you're ever stuck on something specific I'd be happy to help like I did on this one.

You're welcome :)

I'm trying to foster an atmosphere of learning here for everyone, so please change your comment to specifics about how you would improve the processes/ideas presented here? I program a lot of mill-turns, and I'm not sure how any of the techniques shown in the video wouldn't apply in that environment?

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it! Greetings from Connecticut, USA :) Thanks for checking in!

You're welcome :)

Thanks for watching until the end :) I always want to make sure that people watching are getting value for their time!

You're welcome as always, Shane :)

Thanks for watching :)

You're welcome! Glad it helped out!

You're welcome!

All 5 axis toolpaths are stock aware, so what you may want to do is just a normal finishing op, but turn on roughing/multi passes. It'll trim it back to the stock. If you have an example, I'd be happy to make a video on it. Send it over to aeberhard@vector-mfg.com.

@@VectorMfg thank you for your reply. I don't have any examples I was just curious how it can be done. Thanks 👍

Aaron can explain it better. I’ll try. .. There’s either more than one solution to the problem for a position or the algorithm has to divide by zero which is impossible. Can crash machines or post incorrectly. I’m just getting into this stuff to but I know singularities are an issue with robotic arms when joints are at a straight 180 degrees. So you have to program around that.

@@icey_b1562 Great go at it :)

Sure, I'll try to find time to make a video on it, but basically, when two axis get perpendicular to each other, there's theoretically an infinite number of solutions as to which way a it can tilt through it. Picture what happens when a tool has to cross over a dome right at the very top of it on a BC or AC rotary table machine. When it's tilted right before traversing across the top, there's an easy-to-calculate value that the B & C axis have to be tilted, but, when you cross over the top of it, there is a point where either axis can move in any direction and still be tangent. When that happens, the post processor is calculating moves below the limit of the tolerances, so it'll prioritize one axis over the other. This often results in a small B move, but a 140° C move. The easiest way to avoid it is to simply not let the algorithm tilt through 0° if you can avoid it, then you'll never need to worry about it. In my example, I told it my tilt was allowed to be anywhere from 2° on, so it avoided that.

Random C140. ??! Do postability post catch those moves? We have CAMplete at work but it isn’t setup yet. I’ve got a part at work that may have similar issues if i’m not careful to programming. But that seems easy to do b

In a lot of cases, a well set up post will avoid it. Postability is about the best in the business so you probably won't have too much trouble. In general, it's good to avoid cutting on the tip if you can avoid it anyway, so it generally doesn't hurt to use a touch of tilt, Even if that specific problem is solved by your post.

@@VectorMfg Thanks for explaining!

Sorry, just saw this. Yes, it will use Stock defined on the on the Drill > Stock page.

You're welcome! Glad it helped you out :)

Thanks mate! I appreciate it :)

Glad to hear it buddy :) Hope all is going well!

You're welcome, it works great with Opti, too!

You're welcome, it works great with Opti, too!

You're welcome! If you have anything specific you'd like to know more about, let me know and I'll try to come up with a good video for it.

Would like to see an example for the use of stock in the unified toolpaths. And more exiting multiaxis videos! Work as a reseller in Sweden. so i might have weird wishes :D

@@simonbackman7997 Gotcha. Yeah, it's pretty useful! I'll try to put together an example in today or tomorrow for you then :)

@@VectorMfg glad to hear! I’ve learned alot from your videos already. Maybe show some tips and tricks in the future about workflow? :) curious about that topic you mentioned in the video.

You're welcome! If you have anything specific you'd like to know, I'd be happy to help you out on it.

You're welcome! Hope it helps you :)

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely Shane! Still addicted to helping people :)
