What have I done wrong or what is the error in my thinking? I hope my question is justified and hasn’t already been answered, at least I couldn’t find anything directly in the forum.
Thanks for your answer
Kind regards Nicolas
It looks like you can’t physically reach the position it’s trying to move to with the tool stick out that you have. The first error in the simulator is suggesting that you physically extend your tool out of the spindle by about 3mm in order to reach.
First thank you for your fast reply. I think my Problem is I am not sure what is the right offset ? should I do the tlo offset that I did with the button Probe to get the z from the tool into the offset field in the kinetic software or the offset from the z axes ?
To reach all of the features of this part and ensure the tool holder does not crash, we will need 1 inch of the tool sticking out of the holder. Whether you are using Tool #18 or ~Tool #10~, now is a good time to adjust the the tool. To do so, open the tool library, right click on your tool, and select “Edit tool”. Then navigate to the tab labeled “Cutter” and change the “Length below holder” to 1 inch (25.4mm):
1 inch = 25,4mm
should i do from this 25.4 mm the 3mm?
And something that I think is also not quite clear is the length below the holder, hope you can make out the drawing to some extent. Is it A or B?
I’ll see about getting that tutorial updated to make it more clear. I believe it was written with a V2-10 in mind, where the tool is mounted in a collet. It’s not super important for the “Length below holder” value in Fusion 360 to perfectly match the physical set up.
In your case, some combination of how the stock is mounted and how much tool stick out there is has resulted in the machine not being able to quite reach a portion of your generated tool path. You do not need to change anything in Fusion. If you simply pull your tool out another 3mm from where it is right now, remeasure the tool, and run the G code program that has already been uploaded to your Pocket NC, I believe it will work. Is your tool able to be pulled out another 3mm?
I’ll have a look tomorrow because it’s 9:30 pm here in Germany and therefore I’m not at work.
I only know the instructions almost by heart because the things are no longer up to date and I’ve never done anything with cnc before and I’m trying to understand it so that there are no problems with other more complex components in the future.
I will tell you tomorrow if it workes.
To answer your previous question, the 1" of stick out should be the A dimension. How much stick out do you have currently? I would expect that with a tool length offset of -3.5912" that the stick out would be more like 0.5".
After I pulled the cutter out further, everything worked well. Thanks for the good and fast support. If I encounter any other problems I will let you know.
Kind regards
Nicolas
