I'm running mastercam to Camplete for a Mikron mill e500u w/ heidenhain.
Camplete only recently allowed for Mastercams multi axis linking functionality, so I've been playing around with it, before this I would just do full retract for repositioning. Multi axis linking is not always the best option, or the smoothest, granted it's a new thing for me, but still.
I'm thinking rapid axis moves with tcpm on would speed things up, especially for b axis moves, but obviously that doesn't always work, c axis moves could be problematic.
So my question is what do other people do? Exclusively multi axis link? Repositioning moves with tool center comp? Do you program the last toolpath to end where the next one starts? What's the ideal, fastest method? Thanks
