Hello all,
I’m stuck, I’m trying to machine a profile at an angle on the top surface of a part?
I’ve done this in the past and I cannot for the life of me remember what I did? I remember it was something simple, only a couple of lines of code to do what I needed?
I’ll describe what I’m trying to do the best I can.
I’m starting from the right hand side of the part and cutting a profile in the G18 plane using a 1/4 ball end mill programmed from the center of the ball.
Here’s a picture of the profile;
I programmed an M97 with a loop to machine this profile. I need to be able to shift in X and Y after the profile is cut so I can cut the profile at an angle on the top of the part?
Problem I’m having is, I can get the Y to shift but not in X, now I’m totally lost!
Any one have any ideas how to do this?
I cannot mount the part at angle, I’m machining a pocket between to walls in the part!
I can post the program tomorrow when I get to work!
Any help would be appreciated! I tried calling Gerotech who gave me the info in the past, and they have no idea how to do this now?
Thanks for any help!
