Manufacturing (CAM)

I've frequently seen old table saws, radial arm saws, and other equipment which have brass nuts on their (presumably not-stainless) steel arbor shafts.  Besides reduced likelihood of galling, are there other reasons brass might be spec'd?  Preventing wear on arbor?

So I have a quick questions... I know you can have multiple builds of Creo on a single machine, but can you share files between those builds?   We are currently on Creo 3.0 M100 and need to upgrade to M120 to resolve a couple issues. In doing so, we will need to delete and create new workspaces within Windchill. I have a couple users who have large projects that aren't really on the server yet, or going to be on Windchill in multiple workspaces, so it would be a great help if I could leave them on M100 for a bit and upgrade the rest to M120.   Not sure if this will work or not, just looking for some input. Thanks

I am sure this information is somewhere but I can't find it. Changes for lots of other things but not CAM.Josh

Creo Parametric Help CenterI hope a lot of effort was put into refinement, because the new features don't look all that exciting.Josh

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening.I've purchased and installed Creo 3.0. I've also purchased Creo N/C complete machining.Is there a good quick start manual explaining which directory the config.pro should be placed and is there suggested settings for standardmodeling and manufacturing?I should have copied a config.pro from a previous employer.Thank you,Jay.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

I am a student at the local community college, and I was wondering what computers were being used for your Creo industry and classroom usage.  Any help would be appreciated.  If you can help, I am looking for the CPU, RAM, Graphics Card, and SSD or HD information.  What would you recommend for a good machine for college replacement and why.  They are looking at replacing the current systems.All help will be appreciated.

I was shown a toolpath today, created in MasteCAM, that oscillates in z with options to create either a sine wave or peaked path. In this case it was being used to cut a laminate and avoid heating up the tool so much. Other than sketching the path, is there any way to create this in Creo?Josh This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Had some free time to work on this today.  Source linkI created a curve by equation and used that to drive a trajectory milling sequence for some long slots I needed to mill.here is the equation I used to create this curve./* ENTER TOOL STEP OVERSO = 0.05/* EMPIRICAL VALUE TO CORRECT SHAPE ERRORSF = 0.0175/* ENTER PROFILE ALLOWANCE (STOCK)PA = 0.005/* ENTER TOOL CUTTER DIAMETERCD = .3937/* ENTER SLOT WIDTHSW = 0.811977/* ENTER NUMBER OF REVOLUTIONSN = 100A = ( ( SO * SF ) / 3.141592654 ) / 2B = ( ( SW - ( 2 * PA ) ) - CD ) / 2x = ( A * ( t * N * 360 )) - ( B * sin ( t * N * 360 ) )y = ( B * cos ( t * N * 360 ))z = 0I don't understand what the shape error value is about but it seems to work for this application.  Just thought i should share this with everyone in case they wanted to use it or improve it This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

  dear; As per our company IT policy we are unable to move files like cgtpro60 to the server , Each and every time when we check the tool path simulation with very cut ,cgtpro60 file creates , so after completing a project, I have to go to each folder and remove above mentioned file to move CAM data to the server. could you please help me on this ?please check the attached file for more info.  This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Anybody else seeing this? Any idea how to fix?Volume rough, using constant-load, the helical entry generates goto points only(cl data) resulting in linear moves when posted. Changing to follow-hardwalls or spiral and the helical entry becomes of series of circle commands (cl data) resulting in arc moves when posted. There is a huge difference in program size and readability.Josh

Need some help.

My Monday morning annoyance with Creo is with the way I rough large diameter bores. I generally use a mill window with a helical ramp into the part. Then do a spiral rough tool path out to the required diameter with stock left on the profile.This method seems really efficient to me but the major problem I have is I would like the end of the tool path to have a lead off amount to get the cutter off the wall for the retract out of the bore. I set all the parameters in the sequence for this lead off but I will not work.Picture of the tool path with the cutter retracting straight up the wall.what I have found is you need to go into the tool motion and manually add a lead out to get this to work at the end in order for the lead out to work even though the parameters are set.I think this is another problem with the software.This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.
