Hi Guys,
We've got a sodick AQ300L that's been a great machine for us. We cut tons of 2D stuff on it. I have never used the 3D taper functions and was never trained on it. I have a simple stamping die I want to make and I would like to cut the profile and relief with the wire. The part is a circle 1 1/2" dia with 2) .125 x .125 tabs sticking into the inside. .010 inside corner Rad is not a problem.
My question is, how do I set it up? I have the Heart NC program on the machine and we use that for our programming. I can probably get someone to post the code for me from Esprit or Solidcam if necessary.
Do you set the upper guides at a fixed distance off the part? If so, how? The machine is a 5 axis XYZUV.
If anyone has a Squircle example I could run that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance
