Hello again..
I have been trying X3 for a while now, now been trying to work out the cutter compensation again and got in to problems..
So Superman, or somebody else who is familiar with Mastercam..Help needed =)
Ok, so i'm trying to make a simple circle with cutter compensation inside the countour.
Withour lead in or lead out it posts :
"N40 G0 G90 G54 X14.978 Y1.M3 T225
N80 G43 H5 Z25.
N100 G1 G41 D0 X14.975 Y0.
N110 G0 Z5.
N120 G1 Z-34.
N130 G3 X-14.975 R14.975
N140 X14.975 R14.975
N150 G0
N160 G0 Z25.
N170 X14.975 Y0.
N180 G40 X13.975"
Here i can see last line is not like it used in mc9.0, it used to move in both X and Y while reading G40..Hmm, meaby its enough in X? don't know, havent tried in machine yet.
Not i try with lead in and lead out as i want to have more movement in G41 movement, now just 0.003 in X axis. (i got a alarm while ago because it didnt have enough movement..hmm)
Now it posts :
"N40 G0 G90 G54 X6.268 Y-12.021M3 T225
N80 G43 H5 Z25.
N100 G1 G41 D0 X6.975 Y-11.314
N110 G0 Z5.
N120 G1 Z-34.
N130 X12.632 Y-5.657
N140 G3 X14.975 Y0. R8.
N150 X-14.975 R14.975
N160 X14.975 R14.975
N170 X12.632 Y5.657 R8.
N190 G0
N200 G0 Z25.
N210 X-10000. "
So now im happy with the G41 movement but something is messed with the lead out part i think...What should i change or tweak?
I used the tool in mastercam x3 to upgrade my post processor from v9.0 to x3..
