Manufacturing

(OP)
Hi,
     We are facing problem in manufacturing.The problem is that while generating tool paths for milling round bodies,UG outputs tool path as points.It outputs some of the moves as a small arcs and rest of them points even while  machining some standard diameters.It's ok for new machines which can process large no. of point moves at high feed but for old machines it's a nighmare.Then tool motion becomes jerky and even slow.Does anybody have solution for that.We need UG to output all possible moves as standard G02 or G03 moves.In this way file size gets small  and machine runs smooth without jerky motions at high feed.We are using NX2.Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanxs,
Amit

RE: Manufacturing

The post has settings for how small of a nmove to make as a line before trying to create arcs. Not sure of the syntax as it has been about 6 years since I looked at UG/Post.

Hi looslib,
     Thanxs for your reply.But I noticed that the moves are small lines before posting.(When I verified my toolpath before posting it).But Still I will try to explore post for the option you told. Thanxs again!

RE: Manufacturing

If the moves are small lines, you may need to fix your geometry.
Is this NX created geometry or imported? If imported from which program?

It was created within UG.If you want I can send you my part then you can look at please.But on the other hand I don't want to bug you unneccesarly.Thanks!!

RE: Manufacturing

Sorry, I don't have access to UG since starting my new job.
Contact GTAC for help with solving the post issue.
