Machine settings – Identification

The machine identification settings were introduced on version 5.4.5.0 (May 2024). They explicitly defines each configuration to be used and organized by machine brand-> machine model -> controller brand -> controller model. The settings are described below: Name Description Machine brand The machine brand Machine model The machine model Controller brand The controller brand Controller …

Live tooling – radial z cut

Version 5.4.4.9 (10 May 2024) introduces the radial z cut. This live tooling operation available on profiles that have the option to be set as solid or split (for example GR01) automatically calculates the needed diameter to machine the tube so that the final dimension of the resulting part – after joined – equals the …

Live tooling – reserved words

The machine settings, live tooling code is more complex than most of the others as they involve several reserved words, some relevant for the atual live tooling operation type. On this page a description is provided to each of the existing live tooling reserved word. This list might be updated as the live tooling code …

Ghosting movements removed

On version 5.4.3.9 several changes on the algorithm that generates the inside and outside movements were made so that the movements that do not affect the final shape (ghosting movements) are reduced to a maximum, making the machining more efficient. The following images represent such a case, being the first image the movements before version …

PS15PB 270x279x8 – Sinumerik 802D

Web FastQuote – import products

If you have hundreds, thousands or more products, inputting all the data by hand via the Admin UI can be too inefficient. To solve this, the web fastquote have a import feature that receives a CSV file with a specific format. In this post information about the expected format is provided. Expected fields To correctly …

Outside angle grooves

Some profiles (for example WH08 series) have a angle on the outside groove. This groove have a set angle that can be user changed: Since the machining of the back angle is hard coded to use the group of tools “outside angle groove”, the angle must match the angles of available tools. Below we have …

No tools in live tooling operation

Live tooling operations needs tools assigned for those tasks. So before a live tooling operation is created a tool must be added into the tool system as the resulting operation depends on the tool itself. For example, a axial slot can only be defined with the tool diameter previously know. Adding tools for each operation …
