It’s now working but I have to play around with the Y offset to the tool cutting the stock. Do you need to subtract the diameter and not just the radius in this case?
Thank you all for the help.
In the Fusion setup, are you setting the origin to the top of your stock? Perhaps you’re setting it to the top of your model, in which case the tool path would be further away.
I tried both and it made no difference ???
it’s probably a heights thing
I took a look at your Fusion file and the Setup orientation is what your tool path orientation should be. The orientation of your Setup should match how it is when A and B are at 0. Take a look:
SetupWithYUpToolpathZUp v1.f3d (969.1 KB)
Yes I made that change. It;s not easy getting Y to go vertical. Just clicking on a vertical edge isn’t enough.
I see, perhaps you need to add the radius of your tool rather than subtract it. The position that the DRO shows when the tool is touching off your stock should be a positive value that matches the radius of your tool because the center of your tool is that far above the origin of your G54 offset.
in case you have problem with selecting axis in fusion setup - you can select different pair and/or select cylindrical part to show the direction like here:
and here:
I ended up clicking randomly all over the model til it changed ha ha
As for setting the correct Y offset value, you can click the Set DRO button to set the appropriate value once your tool is touching off the top of the stock when A and B are at 0:
In this case I’m setting the DRO to .125, which I would do if I had a .25" tool diameter.
Hopefully it’s all sorted out now. Thanks again for all the help.
I have a similar problem suddenly. By testing SetupWithYUpToolpathZUp v1.f3d
Z moves negative to much early in the code.
I tested the example above and on line 21 Z moves to -10.414 which is about 50 mm below top of stock (would crash tool). I must make a simple misstake.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Mats
