    4 axis tool path generation

    Well I found the main piece which needs to be machined. This is it. I just need to know how to get the tool path for the groove. Thank you everyone!http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=fc8db565-43b7-4406-99a3-dbf00fefb164&file=BIG_Roller.prt

    4 axis tool path generation

    Can someone help in generating a 4 axis tool path for the groove of this part? I have tried but there are many retracting moves and its not a smooth path. Thankshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=8cbfc77f-465b-4f0d-a67c-22d2483c1224&file=Big_Roller_with_Blank.prt

    Error in Machine Tool Simulation

    When I try to run a machine tool simulation for milling with a machine that I created I get this error. Machine Tool Simulation Main Parse Error after reading '%' What could that be? Sometime before I get that error I get another error which says part mount junction error. Can anyone tell me...

    4 Axis Machining Rotary Table not turning Continously

    JNieman, Is there a way to replace this automatically for about 2000 lines of code? Bugie, I simulated this in Vericut and got this result. How can I check if its something with vericut only? or will it be the same in the machine also?

    Starting point of tool after post processing.

    Thanks Mark! I figured out what to do for this. I manually moved the tool of my CNC to the starting point and then continue the code in absolute mode. Problem Solved!

    4 Axis Machining Rotary Table not turning Continously

    Hello, I have been working on a part and have been able to get most of it done thanks to the people here. I think I'm at the final stage, but I'm stuck at this point. I'm using a post processor I created for this. After postprocessing, I get the following code at one point. N1720 X34.18...

    Starting point of tool after post processing.

    I have attached the post processor file and the part files. Can someone tell me what I have to change?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7edcc285-de69-4846-b4ac-cbbfdb125dfb&file=Files.rar

    Starting point of tool after post processing.

    After generating the code and postprocessing how do I know from which point the tool will start milling? Do I have to change the postprocessor for this? or any parameters in the manufacturing operation?

    Modelling a spiral curve

    Thank you very much DidierPSICAD and John R. Baker. I finally modelled the part.

    Modelling a spiral curve

    I'm trying to model the attached object. I want to create a solid object with the same curved face. How to make the spiral surface and to make it tapered? Any help on this would be much appreciated. Ashan...

    post processor for 4 Axis sherline 2010 CNC

    Yeah I used the post builder. But how do I integrate that in to NX? and combine the postprocessor and the machine?

    post processor for 4 Axis sherline 2010 CNC

    hello all, Its my first time doing a CNC project and I'm confused about how to make a post processor. I modelled the Sherline 2010 CNC and using the machine tool builder I set the axis's. But what do I do next? How do I add the machine to the NX library? I followed the Siemens Tech Tips and...
