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?

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 :)

Glad it helped you out :)
