Hi everyone,
I am here again in hopes someone can save me before I literally rip my hair out...
I am trying to preform a simple helix bore toolpath to expand a 1.250" Drilled hole to 1.408".
Under parameters when I select computer compensation everything works fine! However, it leaves no way to adjust at the machine for tool wear. When I select "Control" all I get is an alarm stating that "tool dia/nose R compensation start/cancellation is errenous" I can get the alarm to go away by setting the geometry and wear value in my machine to zero. However, again this defeats the purpose as it will not run with any other value other than zero!
I am using mastercam X2 to program a 3axis hitachi seiki mill (yasnac control). I am using the generic fanuc 3axis post. My tool is a 1" Indexible endmill.
Please, any help is apreciated!
Thanks,
Colton.
