Hello all, ill try to keep this as simple as possible. Im using a matsuura mam 72-35v. Awesome, beautiful, expensive machine. But on certain parts it wont chamfer the tops right. Initially i thaught it was a cutter comp issue but the same tool chamfers holes in the part (with cutter comp) for npt threads. The issue is that when i try to cut the chamfer around the top of the part with the table at B0. C0. The machine acts like the part is moved over 20 thou or so, cuts a oversized chamfer on one side and nothing on the other side. The real confusing part is 2 seperate tools do this. Im using a .75 carbide emill too do the same chamfer lower on the part and it moves over by the same amount as the first tool that chamfers the top. Right now your probably thinking-this morons part is touched off .02 in the wrong direction HOWEVER the whole part is done in 1 op on a 5 axis.. so if the touch offs were wrong then every tool would be doing the same. But its not, the part measures perfectly, every hole is in the correct location, the chamfers for npt holes are all perfect, but the outside chamfer moves. It also moves randomly, one part its fine, the next its messed. Ive gone over my code 100 times and all the numbers are correct, it just randomly offsets over for the chamfer-sometimes... its driving me absolutley insane. Before the shop im in now i had zero experience with a 5 axis. If anyone has any idea what could cause this, your input would be much appreciated!
