Plunging into a job can be caused by many things, if you have post processed a programme then it is always worth checking it in your pc's softwares graphics first & do the same on your cnc (if it has a graphics mode). It is possible that the post process software has a bug if it has been recently updated. We had a similar problem with VISI 15. when we updated the post processor did'nt work properly & it took a call to the software company to rectify the problem (the end result if we did'nt check it in graphics would have junked a £70,000 form tool). Other problems that can occure are much more seriouse but are rare, we did have a machine once suddenly punch a milling cutter through a very expensive aviation component. The programme had been used on many occasions & had already produced a pass off & run a few others off. The end result of this was the TNC had failed & had to be replaced by a technician. |
