SL-10 Sub Program

[Josh-PTP]

Geof,

Took out the W0.005 and cut another part. Still did it?? Any other suggestions. I am using the same 55 Deg tool for the roughing and finishing.

Are you in a panic for this?

The reason I ask is that I can run it through my Simulator or even on my TL2 but not for a few hours. First order of the day is mixing a bunch of concrete for a statue base I am making. And if I am still capable of moving after that...then I can fire up the machines.

Well, I am tring to get it setup today for a little bit of a production run. I have contacted my Haas HFO and they are working on it also for me. In the mean time I have changed the program and using my cam software to cut it. Just was wondering what I was doing wrong. Have fun with that Concrete though. It's a hot one here today!!!

If you get a chance to work on it later and find something out please let me know.

Thanks
Josh

Two problems, one your's one Haas's, but first a question; do you use Graphics to check your programs, especially by zooming in to see the detail of the toolpath? I suspect you do not because you would probably have found both.

I renumbered your program so I could refer to line numbers.

Line N19 which is supposed to give a chamfer does not chamfer during the G71 the tool just plunges straight in, but it does the chamfer during the final run through the P, Q block and during the G70. I do not use the automatic chamfering so I would never get something like this.

Line 21 which does the radius should be a negative value, your radius goes the wrong way.
