Try to learn EdgeCAM... Many questions...

[Vegabond]

Hello.


I try to learn EdgeCAM.

In hole operation, the tool go rapid in x and y before z. or maby the tool change is in z- note the machine (fadal) home position....
I attatched a picture below.
What do i do, to not break the tool there?

are the Z home and Z toolchange positions for the machine set right in the generator?

[Vegabond]

I guess yes, because it is the same file/postp.. that are used before.

I try to run the g-code on the machine yesterday, and it worked... So it is something wrong with the graphics...

i have the same problem

Have you tried to simulate the Sequence?
We are not mind readers so alot mor info would help.

Is the Yellow path executed at start of the program or after drilling?

If it starts there i have found that my post always starts with the tool in Zero position of the post, i have tried alot of things but it insists on always thinking 0,0,0 is the start.

This is bad for simulation but not a problem IRL since it will start from the current mashine location, position in XY and then dive in Z.

But if anyone has a top on how to fix the start position in the post i would also be happy.
My home position is grayed out in the post but i guessed that was becase im doing milling?

One other question.

When i generate a toolpath in edgecam. Can i insert somewere that im using "fixture offset" number one? ( E1 )
And so the D1 and H1 ?

Does anyone use Edgecam with (two Matsuura's or simular where your tool positions for each machine is set in stone but may not be the same for each machine)? Question: One tool database shared for both machines or seperate tool databases, one for each?
