Manufacturing (CAM)

I am making program using creo manufacturing and using CAM Post post processer to convert it in Fanuc controller program. But machine is very old control system or something else is locked in machine, which is not able to read i, k command used in Radius turning step and only able to understand "R" command.   How can we make CL file which should have 'R' command instead of i,k command for radius machining in 2-axis turning machine?

Hi all,I intended to try Creo Parametric (Trial) but on startup I get only the follwoing dialog complaining about no write access to "C:\win... \system32"I really don't expect apps to fiddle in that directory but anyway, this isn't a very pleasant first experience with a trial software...I have a Win 10 Pro desktop machine which should have no problems running std software.I tried modifying the directory via the UI-dialog, but attempts to change can't be confirmed wit OK, and thus it doesn't stick, and I get this dialog everytime I strat Creo. Any hints about how to get started with Creo?// Rolf

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M190Fixture disappears after being applied to manufacturing assembly model.Here are the errors that I faced No errors or messages. Fixture simply does not show in the assembly after placing. This apparently has been an issue since prior to Creo 1.0. What is the cause of this and how can I work around it?

Hi, exist a setup for the module works on tool quality? I don't know what I did but now I find myself with a difference on the quality of the tool while it is simulating with MODULE WORKS.   See attached photos      

Hi, I have a very large manufacturing file and when I want to work in the pro/program it takes a long time to open. I use notepad++ to read the file. What can I do to reduce the file opening time? Thanks

Hi, I'm starting to learn more about Mbd. I found this video where shows some relationship between SOLIDWORKS and Cam works.   https://youtu.be/aw9ntdXpbbY   I would like to find some information regarding CREO manufacturing and Mbd. Any suggestion?

Hello All, I have been working with Creo since Pro/Engineer 2001.  Currently we are still running Creo 3.0 but have purchased a new Sodick Wire EDM.  Realizing it was time for a  CAM package, I decided to stick with PTC and add Production Machining Seat.  I am running into some very basic issues being that there is very little documentation or tutorials available on this subject.  The workflow is so far, incomprehensible to me.  I have no clue how to get started, what is necessary to configure and what is not.  There also seem to be only 3 options for machines in the post processor.  I have never written a post and have no clue what is involved.  I have not been successful in finding anyone that offers training in the manufacturing extension.  I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me get started specifically with Wire EDM functions.  Thanks in advance, Chris.

Any recommendations on what NC sequence to use to program this would be appreciated.  Helical sweep with .100" pitch that is mirrored.  We are using this as a locking feature for a gluing operation.  Is there an NC sequences in Turning similar to "trajectory" in milling?  If a groove is formed at one or both ends that is fine.  

Hi   this is the online Creo 7.0 help link on how To Create an Auxiliary NC Sequence:   https://support.ptc.com/help/creo/creo_pma/r7.0/usascii/index.html#page/manufacturing%2Fnc%2Fto_create_an_auxiliary_nc_sequence.html%23wwconnect_header   But I can't find it in Creo 7.0 . In Creo  6.0 it's the same. I have the Creo 2.0 installed and there I can find it.   Any idea how To Create an Auxiliary NC Sequence with Creo 7.0 ?   Thanks    

We recently made a slow transition to solid tool models (tool + holder .asm), spurred on by getting a new 5-axis machine and wanting full simulation.  This was not as helpful as one might think, as there is no usable translation from Creo to NCSimul tools.  Additionally, the in-Creo ModuleWorks verification took a back seat during the implementation, with no VERICUT_TYPE parameters being entered for any of the tools.  As it is now, ModuleWorks shows just the holder for 90% of the tools I've tried it with.   The solid tools & holders were set up with family tables, including one multi-level table for all the holders.  This makes it easy for me to add the VERICUT_TYPE Holder parameter in a single place, but this results in ModuleWorks just showing the tool for 90% of the tools.   As far as I can tell, ModuleWorks pulls a revolved representation from Creo for the tool, but loads the .prt file for the holder.  So just the holders showed up originally

Sometime between 7.0 and 4.0 Creo think tank decided to destroy our most useful sequence.  Surface Milling.  What was done for so long in Surface Milling now has to be done in Conventional Milling.  One can open an older project with surface milling in it, and it works fine.  Make a change to that sequence, such as an added or removed surface, and it "updates" to the new version of surface milling which appears to be useless.  This forces us to make a new conventional milling sequence.   Surface selection in conventional milling is unbelievably inefficient.  No more are the days of dragging a box around a group of surfaces to collect.  The tech support seems to push the Seed and Boundary method of collection.  This works OK for simple pockets with a flat plane at the top boundary.  If what you are milling has a varying top surface, it just doesn't work.  We have tons of projects that capture geometry via Mill Volumes.  To sele

After I complete my model and create tool path with Creo Manufacturing file, OR while creating CL file, I want to scale my model by 0.5 (due to using same program in different machine), but only in X-value (Diameter) and not in Z-value (height)!   There is a scaling option given, but it scale the CL file both in X and Z direction by 0.5, which is not solving my problems. Can someone help me, if there is a way out here?

Hi Folks!   When creating a HSM roughing NC sequence I've set the config option mfg_param_auto_copy_from_tool to 'all' but the finishing speed and feed data for the selected tool are written into the parameters, not the roughing ones.  If I create a Rough or Volume Rough sequence it imports the roughing speed and feed as I would expect.  Am I missing something or is this a giltch?   Thanks in anticipation,   Clive

Is it possible to save my list of tools in pdf format or print?

dear all, please let me know how to add stop disc MH and stop disc FH of same supplier in mould base definition file.I will save this assembly definition file for reuse. I will use different types of part (model)  for stop disc MH and stop disc.   when I am downloading the preset mould assembly (what I configured) I can see only top disc MH in my mould assembly. stop disc FH is missing. am I doing something wrong? please advise. I am using emx 13.0.0.0

Hello Community,   I am working on EMX 12.0.2.0 We have issue regarding Fastener size in BOM. I am using d-m-e STD supplier in which M series screws, which are M5, M8, M10 but when i am exporting a BOM, Fastener size calculated by its head Diameter. We need (M5 x 15) M-series in BOM size column.   Similarly it happen with ejector pin also.   Please find the attached Image FYI.

Hi Guys, can someone tell me if i can stop these 00_BUW layers from being created when i make an EMX moldbase?   I thought i could go into each plate and component, and get rid of them, but they still show up once I hit Assembly definition button. And then i get more once I add in mold plates.    Is there a config hidden somewhere? Or am I stuck with these everytime I use EMX?    Thanks, Jay

Hi everyone, I need to convert a library created in Emx 5.0 with .dat files to be read by Emx 13 is it possible? I understand that now in the .dat files in addition to the variants, the information of the positioning axes and the surfaces for contouring are also included. Thanks

Is it possible to add comments down in the add features section of apro/program? I've tried /*, !, !* , and none of them seem to work - thecomments are gone next time I come in to the program.Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated. -- Lyle BeidlerMGS Inc178 Muddy Creek Church RdDenver PA 17517717-336-7528 Fax 717-336-0514 <">mailto:-> - <">http://www.mgsincorporated.com>

dear expert is there any option in creo machining to get smooth machining??   regards   Fisa

Hello How do I duplicate cavities and inserts by also inserting my own parameters? For components that are assembled, how do I add all my parameters and relation?

Hello, I have scoured the internet for any information on parameters and CSYS's needed for using solid model tooling in material removal simulation.   From the information that I have gathered, it seems that you create a parameter in each of the tools components named "VERICUT_TYPE" and then set it to either "HOLDER" or "TOOL" based on what the component does, and I am not for sure but I have also seen that you might be bale to set it to "INSERT" as well?  This parameter also seems to need to be set regardless if you are using moduleworks, you still need the "VERICUT_TYPE" parameter.You then need to create a CSYS in the center of an assembled solid model tool with the Z pointing into the tool and located at the cutting height.  You then open your insert (if using one) and create a CSYS named "INSERT" facing the same direction as your "TIP" CSYS and located in the center of the insert.  I have done this, but seem to have mixed results.  Am I missing somethi
