Hi all,
If anyone can help solve this mystery I would be very grateful. My problem is as follows, the time taken to bore 4 holes, 100mm deep, at a feedrate of 80mm per min should be, and actually is on the machine, around 5 minutes. However, Vericut's predicted time is just under 11 minutes. This is just too far out to be an acceleration/decceleration problem and I was hoping someone would know of a setting that could be set wrong in our setup, or if anybody has had the same large margin of error in anything they have done.
Many thanks

Make sure the control has the right Cycle macro tied with your bore cycle. Sounds like you may have a CyclesBore called out when you need a CyclesBoreDrag or CyclesBoreOrient called out. CyclesBore feeds in and out while the others Rapid out I believe.

Thanks vhubbard, this sounds very likley as the predicted time is around twice the actual. Sorry to be a pain but my experience with vericut goes as far as setting a job up and running the simulation, so I would appreciate it if you could walk me through how I would tie the correct macro with the bore cycle.

Click Configuration > Word Address > Cycles. selct the appropriate g code entry, (g85, whatever). right click on it, click modify. in the text field beneath Macroname, type "cycles" if the list doesn't show all the cycles options. selelct the desired cycle, (CyclesBoreDrag, CyclesBoreOrient) and hit Modify. Make sure the Word field says G, and the Range field says the number associated with that command, in this case 85, or whatever code you are modifying. after this, you should be good to go. hope this helps.

Thanks Mike, we're using release 5.4.2 and it dosn't seem to be configured this way. Any ideas where I can find this area in our release?

I'm not positive, but if you hit F1 it should call up the help for Vericut. Type "Configuration" in the search bar, and that should bring up a list of topics that will help. I'm using Ver. 6.1.2 myself, so I'm not sure about some of the differences between the two versions. Also, if you open the training sessions, there should be a session about configurating your controls.

I have similar problem.
In version 6.0 - 6.1.2 is the time calculated correctly, but since version 6.2 is a relatively large error in the time simulation.
Solution should be version 7, but they still have no
