On my new LB3000- P300 control.
I have a gibbscam mtm post we are working the bugs out of. One of the issues I have been having is that I think both the P300 and gibbscam are trying to compensate for the nose radius and that creates errors. I did not write it down but something about radius too small yadda yadda yadda.
example:
N18 G0 Z.01
N19 X3.05
N20 G1 Z-2.6058
N21 X3.0507 Z-2.6062
N22 X3.1307 Z-2.6462
N23 G3 X3.149 Z-2.6682 I-.0221 K-.022
N24 G1 Z-3.537
N25 X3.15
N26 G0 Z.01
N27 X2.95
N28 G1 Z-2.597
N29 X3.0065
N30 G3 X3.05 Z-2.6058 I0.K-.0312
N31 G0 Z.01
This is a part of a roughing pass. The tool nose radius in the tool table is 0.0312 inches. Taking it down to 0.031 made no difference. Since I have no option in Gibbscam to NOT use radii or control the size of the radii in roughing, I figure maybe a secondary tool offset with a zero radius may be my solution. I do have IGF on this machine, which I plan on using for simple one off parts. I need the radius for that to work correctly.
I plan on doing some kinda crazy milled contours on some parts in the lathe, much more than can be done in igf, so I need igf, tnr compensation, and gibbscam to come to some kind of truce.
The secondary offset worth a try?

what i mean is that you have "a lot" of questions/issues ...
