Re: QuickCam 2D Arc Problem

Re: QuickCam 2D Arc Problem

Hi,

The image shown is for Quick Turn 2D not QuickCAM. QuickTurn software works in diameter mode as does the machine. If you have a radius of 10 then the Z position would be -10 but the X value would be 20.

Re: Cam Wizard not specifying roughing cuts.

Max, There have been a couple of changes in the new version. Check that you have hardware render selected and the part then renders correctly. I have tried processing the file with the standard tooling and with the modified tool angle and both produce the correct roughing stratergy. Could you have c...

Re: Cam Wizard not specifying roughing cuts.

Hi Max, There apears to be an issue with the DXF DWG import in the version 1.34 that needs to be resolved. The 3D model if not being generated correctly so the profile the tool is trying to follow is incorrect. 1.33 works correctly but has a couple of other issues so I will get our software engineer...

Re: Replacement motors

What machine are you running? The router 2600 has always been a 1/4" shaft?

All the steppers are 8 wire motors then connected in either series or parallel. If the motor is driven from the drive denstep then 2 A so series connection if a 4A stepper drive parallel.

Re: novamill stopped while setting it up for a job.

SGR is spindle go relay so lights when the spindle is running.

As martin says check the 7 segment as soon as you get a communication issue. It could be going out at that point.

The serial cable is not a standard cabel so you will not be able to buy one.

Re: Cam Wizard not specifying roughing cuts.

Hi I tried this with version 1.33.7233.57000 and it all seemed to work OK.

Other than the bar being 34mm I could not see any issues.

What Lathe do you have? Note the max parting diameter on a Turn270 is 25mm Turn 370PRO has 35mm.

Re: novamill stopped while setting it up for a job.

The communications have stopped working. Open the electrical box and check that the Denstep has power. The 7 segment display should be illuminated if not check the 24V fuse.

Re: Leader pneumatic air chuck replacement with manual chuck

When parting off the internal tools areclose to the diameter of the chuck and could hit the chuck jaws if they stick out from the chuck body.
