We just got a 510C installed and I'm having some problems using higher feedrates.
Here what we're doing/using:
-510C with MAZACC-2D (G61.1)
-Matrix control, running EIA programs
-Mastercam X2, pocketing with 2D high speed toolpaths (and sometimes apply high-feed option for roughing)
First off, without G61.1 enabled, the machine will not feed above 315 ipm.
Mastercam's high speed toolpaths will allow the tool to run 300-500 ipm, and slows down for the corners with the high-feed option. Unfortunately, these toolpaths are broken down into short line segments, despite the fact that they are 2D toolpaths.
Of course, G61.1 does not like these high speed toolpaths, but without G61.1 enabled, we can't use the higher feedrates to truly take advantage of the high speed toolpaths.
Is there a means to unclamp the 315 ipm limit, or am I going to be stuck having to purchase MAZACC-3D to take advantage of Mastercam's high speed 2D toolpaths?
Frustrating.
