Manufacturing (CAM)

hello experts this is asif I have a question about variable feed. is it possible to add a variable feed on trajectory milling on different areas of trajectory .for example I have a trajectory whose length is 100mm. So I need the cutting feed from 0 to 25mm to be 50mm/minute then 25 to 50 to be 100mm/minute and so on so....I don't want to add a feed on G-codes manually...but right now manually add a feed on a different portion of G-codes.. need advice.   regards   asif  

I am trying to use a conventional toolpath the finish the diameters of a tube with flanges welded on the ends. After generating the toolpath not all of the surface inside with milling window is being cut, attached it a picture of the toolpath.   Initially I thought the toolpath was being trimmed so the tool would not interfere with the check surfaces, but after shrinking the milling window down that did not seem to change. Does anyone have ideas as to why the end of the toolpath is being trimmed like this?  

I am trying to make a couple basic profile milling toolpaths and when posting out the program a G90 or G91 does not show up in the NC code. Initially I thought it was a problem with a setting in the gpost editor but after adding a bit of code I found on this message board into the FIL file it still does not show up. Looking at the .ncl file the command "SET / OFSETL, 90" is not found in the file. Is there a specific place in the mill, operation or toolpath setting where absolute of incremental programming can be set? On another note I would like to be able to insert a G187 P1 into some of my programs, this if for HSM on a HAAS control. I found in the gpost GUI where I can add bits of code before or after a tool change which would almost work. The kicker is I would like to be able to add a number 1, 2 or 3 somewhere in the toolpath parameters that could be written into the P1 portion of the G code (1 is for rouging and 3 is for finishing). I'm assuming there is a way to do this usi

Hi.I'm looking for a better solution to generate the tap (G code) file faster.Creating the G code from Creo takes more than 20 minutes for per component and at that time I cannot use Creo (Creo is busy with this conversion from NCL to Tap format.Do you know any solution to generate the Tap file remotely or using different approach and not keeping Creo busy with this conversion.Thx,CC

Hi, The herringbone cell propagation option is available in the lattice feature.2.5D Beams: I enabled it, but I didn't notice any changes to the model.Can someone give a good example?  

Hello all I am trying to use the manufacturing side of creo to make a couple basic parts and it seems to be not posting the G90 or G54 lines in the nc code, below is a screenshot of the beginning of the program. I've used a few other CAM systems but this is the first time I've tried using creo for machine toolpaths, so I might have something not set correctly. Below is the post I tried using, it said it was for a HAAS VF8. Does anyone know what I need to change so these 2 lines of code will be in the nc code output?      

Hi,   I'm encountering an issue with Creo7 NC that tap file computation is taking so long   Any possibility that this can be completely done backend while we continue working on Creo?   Through Queue manager, we are only able to compute CL file backend but not able to convert to G code   Thanks Phani      

As you can see the green line is Y+ axis limit .How do I turn all 3 axis XYZ moves into X rotary Z moves?

The bore cycle in Creo Parametric 2.0 only seems to generate CYCLE / BORE which is G85. We need to bore, orient, back-off, and retract with G76. orient_angle and jog_dist doesn't output. Any way other than an Auxiliary Sequence all with CL STATEMENTS?

Hello everyone. I need to change the default diameter in the creation of the water circuit in EMX, in the options there is the entry WATERLINE_DESIGNER_DEFAULT_COMPONENT set like this:mm | meusburger | E2080_8_10 && mm | meusburger | E2000_13_14 && mm | meusburger | E2130_11_8_2_4 && mm | meusburger | HOLE_8, where I assume that HOLE_8 is an instance present in the HOLE.dat file, I should bring the default value to 8.5, in the file HOLE.dat I inserted a line with the name of the instance HOLE_8_5 but changing the options mm | meusburger | E2080_8_10 && mm | meusburger | E2000_13_14 && mm | meusburger | E2130_11_8_2_4 && mm | meusburger | HOLE_8_5 when I launch the creation of the circuit it always remains Ø8, something wrong?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.3.0I am trying to post a boring sequence for a FADAL 3 axis VMC. I want the tool to bore the hole, stop at the bottom, back off the wall .100 then move up. From what it looks like in the posted program it doesn't seem to be doing this. I am setting the ORIENT_ANGLE to 0 and JOG_DIST to .100 in the parameters.

Hello everyone! I am trying to make strip from following part with all bendings and punch forms on it.When I try to prepare or fill article it doesn't flatten punch forms on bends.The bends with punch forms are also not affected. Is there any way to do that with punch forms or bends or is there a possibilty to select punch form locations later when doing strip? I am using CREO 6.0 and PDX 12.0 Thank you for your answers! 

We just ran across the mfg_param_auto_copy_from_tool config.pro option, and it almost solves a problem for us...I just think it needs to have one more feature to it to actually be useful for our needs. For reference, here are 2 links describing the option: https://www.creosite.com/cgi-bin/find_option.cgi?srch=MFG_PARAM_AUTO_COPY_FROM_TOOL&ver=creo7&mode=config Using the Cutting Data Supplied for the Tool (ptc.com) The feature I think it is missing is the ability to control whether you want to default to rough or finish for all sequence types, not just the finish for certain types, and rough for others as specified in the links above. I think it would be most useful for every Creo user if it were included as a popup window like you already have for this feature asking the user "Would you like to update sequence parameters by copying cutting data from tool ##?". The only alternative I can come up with is to use relations as mentioned on the second link ab

 

Has someone discovered a way to put a list of tools and their dimensions used in an operation(s) at the head of a post?  This way, the operator could check by reading the G-Code to make sure he/she has the machine set-up properly. 

Switch reference between assembliesAs you can see in the picture, two dimensions of a sketch refer to the assembly "50128267_WC121012" However, this is wrong.I want to have the referencing to the assembly "50128267_WC121012_REVC".How can I change this? Referenzbezug zwischen Baugruppen wechselnWie im Bild ersichtlich, beziehen sich zwei Bemassungen eine Skizze auf die Baugruppe "50128267_WC121012" Dies ist jedoch falsch.Ich möchte die Referenzierung auf die Baugruppe "50128267_WC121012_REVC" habenWie kann ich das wechseln?   

I am using Creo Parametric Release 4.0 and DatecodeM130we want to create a custom drill cycle and prepare the code inside the Gpost , the following movements are wanted :1)Approximate feed rate max (G0), coolant :Off, RPM = 500,2) Drill the first deep 1.5 x Ø of the drill with 10% ( 30) of the worging feed rate =F3003) Drill the hole deep with working feef rate (F300) and RPM =3.000 and coolant : ON4) return the to the first deep with F=500 RPM=500TKX

Is there a kind soul out there who would like to help me set up the turn-grooving tools?Can't find out how to setup TIP, OFFSET CENTER and so on.Thanks          

Hi   So for my masterthesis I currently am testing the possibilities and restrictions with a 4-axis milling machine (Roland MDX-50 with a rotational A-axis). I am now trying to mill a football (or soccerball, I'll just call it "Ball" from now on) as you can see in the image below. Normally we do this on a 5-axis machine, but the goal is to see if  the MDX-50  can realise this piece and how precise it will be. Image 1. Ball   I already made some volume roughs (with a 6mm End Mill) and profiling steps (with a 2mm Ball Mill) on the top- and the bottom side. So it will look like this:   So I currently have 2 Coordinate Systems (further abbreviated as "CS"), 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom half. I used each CS to define an Operation. I can select both operations and ask to perform the Remove Material Simulation (as visible in Image 2). The simulation will do as I ask, but between the 2 operations, the tool will "teleport" from one place to another, because the sec

OK so I can make 3+2 move only but after rotation statement gets printed 4 times!.  Anyone know how?

I am using Creo Parametric Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0How set in Creo Parametric values for PPRINT parameters (for example):PLUNGE FEEDRATE & UNITSCUT FEEDRATE & UNITSRETRACT FEEDRATE & UNITSFREE FEEDRATE & UNITSAre these parameters set automatically by the values assigned in each NC sequence of feeds, or can they be assigned for each CNC sequence to the user, regardless of the feeds used?

I’m relatively new to the option file generator (1 year). I’ve been using creo (pro engineer) for 25 years.I’m using #14 fadal VMC15 profile. I found that for a G18 (X-Z) plane certain G2 and G3 gcodes are mixed up when I export the tool paths.The rest of the gcode maintain the proper coordinate system direction. If I test the gcode with https://ncviewer.com/ the circles will show up upside downSo I’m looking for a setting that will swap G3 output for G2 output eventually switching the direction of the Y axis in the XZ plane (G18) I tried checking in/off the CIRCLE/cmd translation – among others with no avail. Any help/suggestion is appreciated. thank you! 

Hi,i want to try using the parameter "graphics Win32_GDI" to find a debug solution.When I start the Module Works on screen I don't see anything (Stock,Target,Fixture,Tools,ecc), but if there are any collisions they seem to get detected.Has anyone ever tried? I don't want to miss gauge or collision. Thanks

I am using Creo Parametric Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.0.0The single sign-on is abnormal, the web page can log in normally, but the Creo side needs to re-authenticate every time

I'm wondering if there's a better workflow available to export the profile of a flat part as a .dxf file for use with a water jet cutter/laser cutter/plasma cutter table. My current workflow is as follows:1) Model part and define a "Front" view normal to the plate that will be cut2) create new drawing in Creo3) select my drawing template which gives me the "Front" view I've established in the model at 1.000 scale4) File>Save As>Export5) Select .dxf and export6) open the new .dxf in my CAM software and remove the sheet outline I could cut down on my mouse clicks by using mapkeys, but before I do that I'm wondering if there's an elegant way to generate a clean .dxf. When I trialed OnShape you could just right click a flat surface and export it as a .dxf straight from the assembly which was very convenient.
