Work Coors/Work offsets

I am a bit of a newbe with Vericut. I use the Mastercam interface and it is very simple. Now I have some older hand written code am am trying to get setup in Vericut to edit it. One program repeats the same code but just calls 4 different Work offsets. The only differents in the work offsets is the C value (5 axis DMU 50). So the program runs rotates C because of the change in Work offset and runs again. I have the first work offset working good (G54). I coppied the CS and added a rotate but I see no change. Any tips on this?

Some of my hand written Programs call work offsets by G54 I1, G54 I2... When I tried to use these the system would not let enter that name in the Coordinate system . I am sure I am doing something wrong.

I am reviewing the CD I got from class If I find anything I will post back.

Thanks
Fred.

Re: Work Coors/Work offsets

Hello Fred,

Which control are you using?

Could write the lines from your program that set your workoffsets?

Best Regards,

Re: Work Coors/Work offsets

You can not just rotate the coordinate system, but instead copy the coordinate and add an additional C offset as the angle you want.  If your control is configured to accept G54 I? Then this should work.

Re: Work Coors/Work offsets

I am not sure of the source of the original controler. One of my co-workers worked with Gene Granata to get it set up for us. I think it is a modified version of the 50heimplus-1CGT that came with Vericut. Should I be talking to Gene?

Re: Work Coors/Work offsets

If you have support I would talk to them.  That is the best way to learn the correct way.

Re: Work Coors/Work offsets

Are you using the G7 Tilt Plane function, or just rotations?

Just rotation. It is a long program but it is just 3 axis 3d forming. Call G54, Run code Call G55 (rotates C 180 degree) run the same code again. The program makes 2 parts.


I have support so I want to run thru a couple of the tutorial and if I still have an issue I will call next week. Any other tip will be appreciated

Thanks
