Manufacturing (CAM)

I am experiencing issues with the material removal simulation in creo parametric 10.1, where the play path changes the tools I imported. I imported the following tools: H63TH-SVVBN-H16 with a VBMT160408 and MTJNL2525M16N with TNMG160408L-ES.During the play path simulation with the VBMT insert, it remains and shows the correct path. However, when attempting to use it in the material removal simulation, Creo modifies its geometry, resulting in an error. Additionally, I am unable to utilize the toolholder for generating the collision report.

I imported a lathe tool into Creo parametric 10.1, and whenever I run the simulation, the tool above the workpiece has a distance almost equal to the radius of the insert tip. How can I make the tool execute the simulation correctly?I went through this process by creating parameters, defining the tool size, and still, I am not able to achieve the desired simulation result

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.5.0Hello,I will write Gpost for Siemens 840 D control units, but I didn't get the gpost output as belowCS_TOOL("T60")CS_TP("T11")When I got the gpost output, I got it as belowT2 M6T1How can I change Tool output as CS_TOOL and CS_TP in the GpostCS_TOOL= Tool to useCS_TP=a next tool

I had the following request in today from a customer. How do I delete the references used in an NC step, Using the references right mouse click doesn't allow the option. Customer on Creo 4 F000, I have also tested on 10.0.2.0.Only way seems to be to edit the Tool Motion entries.

I have always struggled with Creo when it comes to getting good millpaths.  No matter what I try, it always seems like Creo defaults to pushing the cutter directly into the middle of the part (material fully surrounding the cutter) instead of slowly milling its way into the part from the outside in.I have dealt with this issue for many years now, and decided it's time to make a post here asking for help.  As you can see in the video, it would be ideal to mill the outside first, allowing 2/3rds of the cutter in the material until it mills completely to the center.(view in My Videos)

Hello,Why GPOST does not output the feed rate during NURBS machining ?Attached a new PP completly empty (Postprocessor defaults) and CL file.CREO 7.0.5.0GPOST V6.8 P20p2-J11 Regards 

Hello, I am using CREO 5 - manufacturing, I am trying set probe in Manual cycle - CL Command - Menu - PROBE_CYCLES.Has anyone work with this?Thank you for the help

Hello,I have a problem with the creo post processor when i call an other coordonate system such as G55.Some context :I have 2 parts on a special clamping pallet with their own origin. G54 and G55.The final sequence is engraving serial number of each part. The problem :The first and the last point of the serial number have the same Y position (Y P1 = Y P2 = -12).The serial number is engraved at the same position on the two parts. By the way insisde their coordinate system Y positions are the same. D1 = D2In G54 Y P1 = Y P2 = -12 and in G55 Y P3 = Y P4 = -12 this is the corresponding code : What happens in real life : At the end of the first block, the cutter rises and keep the last  Y position.G55 is read but because Y position is identical, Y is not recall on line 392. The cutter move to X -59.5 in G55 but stay at the same Y position instead of going to Y -12 in G55. Is there a way to force the post processor to output X and Y in case of changement of fixt

Hello, I am using CREO 7 and currently doing the cam follower mechanism for a cam rod and tappet and was following the tutorial provided PTCU. The tappet is having a flat surface. The mechanism works well for curved follower but not for the flat surface. I gave the necessary parameters that are required to define the mechanism but I am not getting the usual motion that is expected from this mechanism. The tappet sticks to the cam surface and rotates along with the cam rotation, which I don't want (I need the reciprocating motion). What should I do? Are there other parameters need to get the required cam motion?   

Hi GuysHow can I generate G-Code for a 3D printer directly from a Creo model without relying on any third-party applications? Are there built-in tools or features within Creo that facilitate the creation of G-Code for 3D printing? I noticed that Creo has options for 3D printing, but it seems to prompt me to purchase a specific 3D printer.  

Hai,We are into color coding in mould insert manufacturing. currently all inserts have to be coloured manually. Iam checking for option of coloring the inserts automatically in the software itself. Please refer below picture for example for the coloring requirement.The splitting work is done in manufacturing (mould cavity) mode. after splitting the insert is coming as below                   the requirement is at least fitting area color change to either brown or yellow automatically (both can be achieved will be great).kindly let me know how this can be made. Any help will be appreciated. Iam using Creo 7.    

Hello!In Creo NC Complete (5.0.4.0) when I create a new machine code for NC-machine, equations are automatically substituted. CUT_FEED = (CUTTER_DIAM/80)*SPINDLE_SPEED*2SPINDLE_SPEED = 150000/(3.14159*CUTTER_DIAM)STEP_DEPTH = 0.1*CUTTER_DIAMCLEAR_DIST = STEP_DEPTH+5If I set my parameters (for example, SPINDLE_SPEED), they are updated to default anyway.How can I change or remove these equations? Please help me solve this problem   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.5.0When I select gohome on Creo it ouputs G0 I need this to output G28 command is there a way to change that? I am currently using Option File Generator add on to modify post.

Let's say I brought a model into a manufacturing assembly. And, since I wasn't paying proper attention, it was just brought in as a "regular" assembled part. Now, realizing the error of my ways, I want to reclassify that part not as just a dumb component, but as a reference model. This would seem to be simple enough, There's an actual "Classify" button. But, every time I've ever tried that button, the message is always "This component cannot be reclassified". So, a simple question, what use is the Classify functionality? It never does anything for me. Is there some esoteric situation where it is actually useful? I can't just redo assembly of the model, because I've got a lot of toolpaths that already use it.

In our MFG file we have ~400-600 sequences per operation and doing the reordering of the of the sequence takes time.To apply these sequences, we used UDFs and in 2-3 clicks the sequences are applied.Using Process Manager, XML templates with priority options is not a good idea for us, the reason being we have a bunch of custom macros and will take longer to apply in Process Manager.Are you facing this problem on your MFG file?Do you have any solution or workaround to improve time during reordering of the sequences?I understood for other CAD Application reordering is very fast this is why CAM department is looking now for a different CAM software. 

Hello, allI use volume rough with a large tool and then use local milling ( previous sequence ) to remove rest of material with samll tool. while I want to keep some area not to be machined by local milling step,  can anyone help me on this?  thanks    

I need to machine several deep Fins ( around 50mm in depth), in order to machine safely, I need to machine one Fin zone and then move to another zone.  I use Mill window + Volume milling, found that volume milling always cut slice by slice from one Fin zone to another, instead cut each Fin zone to full depth, and then move to other Fin zone.Could you please help me to solve this issue?  thanks,    

In creo 9.0.4.0, 540*160*5mm size, use mill window + volume rough with Diameter 8mm tool, and then followed by local milling with Diameter 4mm tool to remove residual material ( with pre-sequence in local milling ) , it takes 7 hours to complete path calculation, it is hard to continue my job. any comments for this issue? are any parameters wrong used in local milling? 

I was wondering if anyone can provide a post processor for a Haas SL30T  lathe? We are running Creo version 7.0.7.0 if that is needed.  Thanks in advance   

When working a 3d.prt  generated in MANUFACTURING-MOLD CAVITY (CREO V 9.0) for mill it, frequently turns "RED" the file pointing to:  Extract id 1 REGENERATION FAILED.Q: Why this happen and how to avoid it?Thanks in advance.ELI 

Hi, I'm searching for a directory for milling clamping elements like vices, chucks and collets. Whithout the directory, the elements have to be saved in the corresponding working directory, which consumes a lot of storage space.I already tried to add "pro_mf_clamp_dir" in my config, but i guess this command only works for NC sheetmetal and not for milling. Software is Creo 8.0.5.0 Hope you can help me with this problem.Best regards,Simon  

Simplest example - start new manufacturing ASM, select user-defined work center, go to edit machine, select tool menu, select tool, change something in the view of tool, say shank diameter, hit apply,  Message "cannot dsipaly tool for current tool setup" So how can I modify existing tools?

Hello, I have a problem with the design of a tool. For machining a part i use a sawblade with a sawblade holder.https://www.haimer.biz/products/tool-holders/accessories/sawblade-holder/sawblade-holder.html When i design the tool in creo NC with a sketch, it takes as cutting reference the lower point of the tool.When i use the tool in my trajectory path, this is this point whirch is follow the trajectory.Even if i modify the sketch with construction segments...Is there a solution to define the cutting edges of the tool ? Thanks in advance
