I'm wondering if any of you have experience with high speed 3D toolpaths (EIA) on a Mazak Fusion 640 control?
Is it worth upgrading to the MAZACC3D package for small line segment machining?
The feature being machined is not too complicated. It's basically a tapered, angled cone with a 3.5 inch O.D., and a 2.5 inch I.D., about 2 inches deep. The accuracy is not critical, as long as the finish is consistent and gouge free.
I already do quite a bit of high speed 2D machining, using G61.1, but that seems to get pretty ugly in a 3D path with line segments of .0002-.0005.
Is there another way to increase the 3D cutting performance of a Fusion640 control? The machine is a PFH5800 with 15,000RPM.
