Could you tell me how to do it , Chigishev?
Thanks ,

VERICUT supports 3D compensation when the NC program output is defined by a tool position and a vector for the direction of the offset. The macros are: Tool3dOffset, PartNormalX , PartNormalY , PartNormalZ
We also recently implemented the support for the cutter compensation of 5 axis motions for the Siemens CUT3DC commands. It will be the next release (7.0.2)

We are both right, I was just pointing the limited support that we have (which is the FANUC 3D comp).

Anyone have experience with Siemens 840D, and CUT2D, and CUT3D and CATIA?
I would like some assistance, and I am sticking my toes in.
Thanks

We have made some improvment to the Siemens 3D CDC, it will be in 7.1. Make sure you test it in 7.1 beta

Thanks Serge for the heads up. Yes I will be sure to check into it, as yes, I am a tater tester.
I am still hoping to hear some real life experiences, from 840d CUT2D CUT3D users

Hi Dave,
We are using 840D with CUT3DC for years now (1999) with mixed results.
On our 5 axis head/head machines this ALWAYS works without any problems.
On our 5 axis head/table and table/table machines we do have a lot of unpredictable trouble with it.
A lot of times -even on simple moves- the controller gives error messages "Danger of collision due to radius compensation".
We had contact with Siemens about this -had controller updates and all- but they never solved it. :cry:

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the reply. We are using CATIA to do our nc programming. I see the PQR output option, but from what I see, the CUTCOM/LEFT .... /OFF option seem to be good enough. We have retrofit over 1/2 dozen CNC with the 840D. I would like to find out more about some of these issues.
I can call it to the attention of my Siemens personal, and perhaps we can get the issue resolved.
I will send you a private message, with my e-mail and I can share with you some things I have found, and I would love to hear some details of your experience. The 840D is unlike any control of the past. It looks like a lot of fun to get into TRAORI, COMPCAD, spline interpolation, etc.
I have talked to a handfull of users, and some love it and some hate it. the ones that hate it think it is to complicated, and it is complicated, but that is why they have programmers work on it. Right?
We have also looked at VNCK and may get it "one day" if needed
Best Regards
Dave
