Hi all,
We have an older Multicam machine (Australian version) that runs the OLD AMC controller from AXYZ. machine is a 2008 model
Currently we are machining a complex 3D model and which has been Cad in solidworks with a HSMWORKs cam package.
Due to the limited memory on the machine we are splitting the program up into 6 different jobs each one fills the memory of the machine.
Each time we need to load the program it takes 45min to upload to the machine due to the size.
The system uses the toolpath software linked to the machine directly ( We are unable to get the DNC function working at the moment) Multicam trying to solve this)
Going through the manual the system is able to run via a Batch file where it will start the toolpath, upload program to machine ,run machine, delete old program and shutdown the software.
I have attached a picture from the manual we have.
Has anyone used this before function before?
We currently have 256 machine hours that need to be completed and the time to load each program into the machine is killing us
any information would be helpful
