I need some help/guidance on the processes of programming using the old mellinium post in Esprit. I have so many questions I don't know where to begin. We have Mitsubishi and the Agie VP2, and this style programming is not at all familiar. So I am just gonna list the questions.
1. Is there a way to set the I and J for tapers in Esprit so that the values will be correct at the machine when you import the geometries. Ex. Part is 20 mm thick, 5mm land. My part is held above the table. My program still thinks it's on the table. I know I can change my I and Js, but with 15 pockets on a die with 4 straight cuts and 4 tapered cuts that's a little aggravating. There HAS got to be a easier way.
2. How do you only rerun a particular skin cut...Example my die with 15 pockets is not cut size..I need to recut last skim with a larger offset. What's the process? I know there is a better way than dry running through the unwanted cuts. Is there not a G200 code you can use to skip to a line.
3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to hold size, my pockets seem to be a little at the top of the tolerance.
4. How can the geometry be right but the graphics show it wrong. For example my did with 15 pockets is only showing 14 pockets with one of those pockets on top of another. It's like when I verified the geometry is compacted two pockets..lol.
Please if anyone can or will care to answer some of these questions please text me...843-517-3500. We are working 7 days, I need to figure this out.
