Try increasing the value you have in Parameter 99 to maybe 3 or 4.


I bumped the parameter 99 to four and that worked, to get rid of all those weird instances in the corners. Reading up on that parameter I see that I can set it all the way up to 99 and that it's the amount of lines that the ...

This part is driving me nuts, there has to be a better way to handle this than I am currently doing

First off I tried to fake out the part by telling it I had a 0.475" dia cutter when in reality my endmill is 3/8" diameter. I figured I would send this all the way around the part at 0.475" and that ...

Well I admit I made an embarrassing mistake. After convincing myself I was programming everything exactly correctly there was only one last spot that the problem could possibly be in. I checked the tram on the mill and the head was way off.

Of course I've just been doing a single toolpath to cut ...

when using "jog to home" postion.

Hi Keith,

I thought I'd follow up as I am pretty much stuck here until I can get past this, did that file have the info that is needed or does the report need to be generated when the machine is all setup and either running that program or right after?

Thanks,

Adam

I turned on the machine and used the F7 to create a report which is seen below. I didn't home it or anything. Will this contain all the info of what I was doing last night around 10pm on the machine that you need to troubleshoot or do I need to run the report when I actually have the machine setup ...

Sounds like you're mixing up work coordinate systems and machine home position?

In this case I haven't actually set up my limit switches to define a true machine home. My goals for this machine was more or less ...

A little more troubleshooting on my end and I am still having issues.

I watched some youtube videos on WCS and set my G54 to 0,0,0 with my dial indicator

I added G54 to my intercon code to make sure that it was good

Here's the program clearly running ...

Just to add to this discussion here. The way I set my zero was as follows:

With the feeds off I crank the table and indicate my zero has any machinist would do. I hit the machine cycle start buttons and the zero zero coordinates all pier on my work coordinate system which is coming up as WCS #8 by ...

I am new to programming up my Allin1DC system using intercon. I am getting an odd assymetry that I just can't explain;

To start I set my zero point on my work coordinate system. Before loading 0,0 appears right under the screw to the side of the photo as noted;
