Manufacturing (CAM)

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'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.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 3.0 (connected) 3.0 M100Edit Parameters Tools menu is missing options and the parameter list is abridged. There are tons of missing parameters in this particular manufacturing model. CL_DIST is a big one that my Post Processor uses and it has gone missing in the parameter list. Starting a new manufacturing file remedies the situation but I need to know how to fix the one that is already complete as there is a lot of work already done and starting over every time this happens is not a solution. I need to know how to correct this issue if it ever happens again. I did attempt to export the parameter list from a good model and open in the broken one but I receive a long list of errors stating not valid.

Hello,I have a problem of surface finish with a volume rough.The previous operation leaves 0.2mm of stock (walls and bottom)  for the finish with my volume rough.  I choose a spiral toolpath and i have sharp edges between each trajectory segments. In the real world this create micro stops of the servos of my milling machine and a very bad surface finish.  So i decide to apply a radius with the option "Smooth_corner_radius = Max radius" and "Smooth_radius = 1" (End mill of 6mm diameter).The problem :The calculated trajectory miss some areas of my surface...Same problems with "constant_radius" and angle_radius" for "Smooth_corner_radius", smaller radius value and thinner "step_over". Some ideas ? Thanks in advance

The other day my (HAAS) machine crashed doing a G81 canned drill cycle. I'm not sure how to fix it, but I can't be the first to run into this issue.  Hopefully one of you can suggest a reliable way to fix this. Here is what happened: I had a G19 in the program which changed to the YZ plane.  But there were no circular movements in XY before the G81, so the post processor never added in a G17 code to change back to the XY plane.  When the G81 was called, the drill cycle happened in the YZ plane instead of XY, which crashed the drill.  Later, there was a circular movement, so the G17 code showed up there, but it was too late for my drill cycle. So apparently, the post processor doesn't realize that canned cycles are affected by the active plane.  Is there a checkbox for this somewhere?  Is there some better way to address this problem? Thanks for any help!

Hello,Every time i select "constant load" on a rough sequence, Creo add a at the start of each trajectory a ramping. It is not a correct arc but a succession of straight segments. The huge problem is that in practice, during machining my milling machine moves jerkily and vibrates enormously to follow all the segments. With other types of scanning, i do not have this problem, the cut start on the right Z position. (Volume milling with cst load option = same problem) Rough with cst load : Rough with "Follow contour or spiral" Any idea to remove this "ramping" ? Thanks in advance.

I am using Creo Parametric Release 8.0 and Datecode8.0.7.0I am having some issues in Creo, while generating the NC or trying to edit the sequence, it shows fatal error and Creo crasheHere are the errors that I facedfatel error encountered.

Hi folks,   In Creo NC, using Machine Tool Setup -> Parameter UI, I have edited the list of basic parameters visible in the "Parameters" list of NC sequence edition.   Because it's quite a long list of basic parameters that I now have, I'm wondering if it's possible to customize the default size of the "Parameters" dropdown window in order to extend it downwards. See attached screenshot for visual.I prefer having a tall "Parameters" dropdown window rather than having to scroll the list to see all my basic parameters at once.   Any pointers much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I am looking for a post-processor for the controller Siemens Sinumerik 828D. I have seen several posts about the Sinumeric 810D and 840D here in the community but none about the 828D.   Can a post-processor for a generic Siemens controller be used for the Sinumerik 828D? or should I create an 828D-specific post-processor? Did someone develop a Sinumerik 828D post-processor? Thank you in advance.   Francesco 

hello friends how to we change the primary axis word form C to B in the creo post-processor??  thanks asif  

Hello, On my manufacturing draws, i have a sheet for each operation (op010, 020, 030 etc.)On each sheet i have a repeat region with all sequences type, name and tool for the actual operation.  I order to simplify the operatior work, i would like to add a fifth column with the tool_pocket_number for loading the tool carousel on the machine with the right tool. Here are my column parameters : When i add &mfg.actoper.workcell.head.tooltbl.toolpocket.tool_position in the fifth column here is what i get :    How can i add for each line the tool pocket number ? Thanks in advance.

How would you capture and differentiate the 3+2 axis machining and 5 axis machining. For example when I have 3+2 axis insert a command and when in 5 axis insert other command.

When I was using Creo 4 I was able to modify the Parameter drop down box to include specific ones I wanted without having to go to the whole machine parameter box. Now that we have moved to Creo 7 I cannot remember how this was done. Has anyone else done this? Thanks in advance. What I wantWhat I have

Hello, everybody, Does anyone meet the problem when saving the part file to step, the lattice design is missing?For example, in the first picture, I created a lattice structure, I then saved it as step file.But when I open the step file, it appeared as the second picture.

hello, experts in creo Are it possible to generate g-codes from the offset tool tip please check the picture. I want to use those codes for welding purposes regardsasif

mach3 it is not showing the 5 axis back plot tool path as shown on cimco edit what is the thing I am missing please check the jpeg. need helpregardsasif
