Manufacturing (CAM)

dear expert just made this machine please check the jpeg it's 5 axis swivel head type machine. I can make a 5-axis program on the rotary A-B axis attachment, but this machine program does not follow the part position.please need your advice  regards Fisa

Hello,   On my part, I use the volume milling function to create a slot diameter 4.2mm at the bottom of a side pocket in my part. For that I use an end mill diameter 4 and it works well.     But when I try to use the cutter compensation (G41), nothing changes in the Gcode file.   I have other sequences such as profile milling and the G41 is correctly converted into the GCode. It never works with volume milling?   Does someone have an idea?   Thanks in advance

Hello, I'm trying to make a stack in Creo, but the button to start printing is disabled.  USB is currently connected.  Is it a problem that requires a separate license? Or is there another problem?   Thank you.

Has any noticed that you now have to have a work piece in order to turn on the Mill Volume and Mill Window options? This was never an issue with prior versions of Creo up to 7.0.9.0 All that was required in the past  was to have a reference model.  Where is the logic in forcing a work piece to be defined just to machine a surface or text on a surface. I could not find any config,pro options to reset this back. Creo 8 and 9    Creo 7 

Dear expert facing the issue of trajectory 5 axis milling in normal to surface option the path is discontinuing. at normal to surface option .please check jpeg   regards   Asif fisa

During Creo additive manufacturing, most guides export files to 3mf. However, only G-code can be read when reading from a 3D printer afterwards. Is there a way to export it directly from Creo to G-code?  I am currently using creo 9.0.

Hello, All, Can someone help me how to define lead in/Lead out with radius function for the each slice of Trajectory Milling or other Milling？(Attached picture shows what I want) in Trajectory tool motion tab, we can only set Lead in /Lead out or Helica for the whole cut path, can not set Lead in/Lead out for each slice?  your help are appreciated!

DearI would like to add some part in library component.But the problem is that parameter wont rewrite. ( ord_number)The parameter stays the same as in the part in library. (empty)How to fix this that parameter will update from library data file?Do i need to have part in library with any parameter     

Hello, All When I use Cutline Milling to mill  a hole, I use Type_Helical , however, I found that I can not set Helical Pitch for Helical milling. Can anyone help me on this issue?  

Hello,  When I use Pocket Milling, milling bottom Face with spiral type, I found that I can not control cut path corner radius, all corners of cut path are sharp, this is not my expectation.  Could you please help me to solve this issue?  thanks, Bin 

I want to run program from this position check attach jpeg for details..please need help

I am trying to create a post file for our machines which run SIEMENS 840D controllers. our machines require two files for our 4 axis merged VTL , left head , right head, and I can't see how to make the GPOST output two separate files. instead of one file with both heads in it. we have been using ICAM as our post, but we are now trying to set up GPOST to process our codes.

I'm drilling a plate with counter bored holes. Generate a .nc file and when I go to post it I get this "Error type 3 detected". The error comes up right after I select a post. The post works on several other files so I don't think that is it. Any thoughts?Josh

Hallo Zusammen, Ich möchte zu meinen Werkzeugen Schnittwerte für unterschiedliche Werkstoffe ablegen. Hierzu möchte ich die im Werkzeug-Setup vorhandenen Datenbank nutzen (DB lesen). Hat jemand Erfahrung wie diese Datenbank angelegt und mit Daten gefüttert werden kann. Besten Dank 

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 6.0 (connected) Release 6.0 and Datecode6.0.4.0Creo taping iso and PSBT size selection not available in creo, also boring tool shifting after operation .Here are the errors that I facedcycle 84 and 86 error

I am trying to write a new post in GPOST for our Siemens 840D controller, and I am having an issue trying to out put the PPRINT/ statements, the NCL file has the cl words in it, but the post is not outputting the statements. Any help is welcome Peter

Hello,During CAM tests on Creo NC version 9.0, I noticed that when creating a face milling operation, there is no Check Surfaces option to add elements and avoid collisions. This function is available in some operations (Drilling, Tapping, Roud, Chamfer, ...) but not in the major functions such as face milling.Currently the generated toolpaths can cause collisions. Is it possible to generate a collision check for surfacing operations? It would be interesting to create toolpaths that take into account the environment (clamping, part, stock, machine). Thank you and best regards.

Hi,I am a student at a university working on a year+ long project that requires us to cut out a semi complex aerodynamic part (around 2x0.5x0.5m for reference in size) on a 4th axis cnc machine. I am working on the nc tool paths to cut this part however I have gotten to the point where it takes 15+ minutes to calculate the tool paths (around 5 cut line operations) which makes it very hard to diagnose problems and becomes very time costly. I have heard about creo parametric not being able to use all of the cpu cores and as I am in creo 6 (for compatibility and IT reasons) I wanted to know if the newer versions of creo support using more cores for nc tool paths or if there is a way to get around it, I have a Ryzen 2600x (6 cores, 3.6 GHz) and 16GB of ram)

Has anyone seen this or have a suggestion for fixing it?When I simulate a cut in moduleworks on Creo 9, it sometimes creates a random large circle that, of course, gouges the part.  Path simulation in Creo shows no such circle.  And when I run the part in real life, there are no problems.  But it really messes up my machining simulations.  I've had this on a couple of parts now.  On the part in the picture below, the red represents a gouge.    I tried reducing the "interpolation tolerance" as well as the "collision tolerance", but neither eliminates the circle. 

Thread milling seems broken in Creo 8.  I used a template that worked fine in Creo 7, but now in Creo 8, the lead-in radius is the wrong direction.  It's still tangent, but the wrong way.  I can't get it to change and have to switch to a radial entry so that there is no radius.  Is this a bug, or am I doing it wrong?  

Hello,I am using Creo Pamaretric version 7.0 and I noticed that in Creo NC the toolpaths that the system generates can cause collisions. Even though the elements in the categories (Reference model, workpiece and fixture) are defined correctly, the default tool path created in Creo NC can cause collisions with a part or the environment. It is as if the system only takes into account the part to be machined and not the rest. Many CAM programs do not generate toolpaths if this could cause a collision. If this is the case, the calculation stops automatically and finds another solution.  Is there any function or option to optimize the toolpaths and avoid collisions? Thank you and best regards.

I am using Creo Parametric - Release 5.0 (connected) Release 5.0 and Datecode5.0.6.0it often happens that the program crashes when starting the program or when processing 2D files.

As you know scan type_2 works well in three axis surface milling, but if you turn to five axis surface milling, you will find type_2 doesn't work ,the tool doesn't go around  the islands.it will create many retracts. how to use type_2? thanks!
