    Machining dimples on a contoured surface with ball nose?

    Thanks a lot john and Mark!! John,your trick worked like a charm!! First i tried to use simple spot drill operation subtype but it was outputting program as a normal Z-axis drill cycle and machine was confusing because tool was mounted along Y axis.Then i used peck-drill type and then NX...

    Machining dimples on a contoured surface with ball nose?

    Hi friends, I need to machine dimples (.012" deep) with a 1/16" ball nose on a contoured face.I tried to use fixed contour with curve/point method and selecting all the points one by one as a drive geometry but nx generates path only for the last selected point. I have attached a picture in...

    Need help to suppress interference in a power supply.

    Thanks everybody for the replies.Those twisted wires are going to the switch(to turn supply on) and 2 potentiometers (one for voltage adjustment and second to control fan speed).The other black shrink tubed wire is going to the 3 LED's (one for power in,second for supply on and third for...

    Need help to suppress interference in a power supply.

    Thanks for the reply zappedagain! To hold the power entry module,the clamp you see is made out from aluminum and that clamp is connected to the chassis via 2 brass screws.Do you think i still need to try grounding the PEM?I will try to find better shielded cable as you suggested. One more...

    Need help to suppress interference in a power supply.

    Thanks Skogsgurra for your reply!! That cable clamp was made by me and its connected to the chassis on the side by brass screw.Power cord is not shielded.So it means getting a larger ferrite core so that i can pass cable through it couple of times better than putting a split type snap-able...

    Hello friends, I just modified 110~220v 12V 100 amp JD200 server power supply(from dell poweredge6800) for my high current needs.I had to reroute the AC input from front of the supply to the back.Its working good but i am having strange problem.It works fine during the day but sometimes it shuts...

    How to machine using spherical cutter?

    Thanks mark for the reply. I tried cavity milling but as soon as i uncheck tolerant machining,the option to specify cut area disappears while using workpiece as a geometry but if uncheck tolerant machining and use MCS Mill as a geometry and select just the shaded faces as a part,then the tool...

    How to machine using spherical cutter?

    Hi diamond, thanks a lot.Yes it worked as i wanted.I changed the cut direction and used helical as u stated and it worked good.Could you please look into this(attached example).Its kinda same undercutting example.I want to machine shaded faces that are left by fixed_contour Area Milling but the...

    How to machine using spherical cutter?

    Thanks for the replies.I tried to generate a tool path using fixed_contour--->surface area and used zig zag. But the tool is moving up and down using zig-zag cut pattern.I got almost same results with helical cut pattern.and the tool is not machining the bottom face as i cant select the btm...

    How to machine using spherical cutter?

    Hello guys, Been trying to find a way to finish this part with a spherical tool but having problems.Nx 8.0 is not allowing the tool to touch the side walls of the part and sensing the shank would hit the top smaller opening of the part even thou shank is smaller than the tool dia.I am attaching...

    Z-level_follow_cavity

    Hi, we have just switched from NX3 to NX4.In NX4 I couldn't find Z-level_follow_cavity.It was active in NX3.NX4 only got simple Z-level Cavity milling.If anybody knows about this please give me some information.
