Mastercam X5 No Sim Found Crackl
Tangela Cackowski
"Mikey, Sol, or Blake - So since the three of you all are not on the mastercam bandwagon, can you please specificy detail why? Also, if you like TCUs, aren't they pretty much identical to mastercams in their sizing? If that's the case, what do like more about tcus. To me, mastercams are way more flexible - thus way more secure. Next, up are the C3's. Waaay less flexible, and I've had them blow placements. I do not feel as secure with a C3 because they are so damn stiff and the heads are way smaller and sliperier than mastercams. I'll concede that I know there are placements that C3s excell because they are narrower, but the vast majority of my placements on smaller sizes don't require a super narrow head. I alway concidered a C3 a "specialty piece".
Anyway, hope I can get a better less emotionally charged answer. The reason I ask is because I always want to have full faith in my gear, and the mastercam hate kinda shocked me. At first I really missed my aliens, but after the withdrawl, I haven't looked back. I just want to be using the safest gear.
1) the mastercams only come as quad cams. The downside versus the old metolius tcus is that the quad cams will not pivot in an upward pull. This was always a feature that I loved about the original metolius, but with the quads, the upwards pull has the potential to allow for the cam to walk.
The single stem wire on mastercams looks like it might be more susceptible to bending, but I've also bent a bunch of my camalots where the wire meets the head, so that's also really just me being leery of a new design.
Problem occurs on some MasterCAM X workstations using a NetHASP. The user will try to post from MasterCAM with CIMCO set as the default editor. The post will save fine but when going to open the post in the default editor an error appears "MasterCAM hasp not found".
Our task this week is to design a 3D mold, machine it and then cast parts from the mold. Since I would like to build a robotic arm for my final project, at first I was planning to cast a spare part of it. But later I found the structure is hard to be machined, so I decided to just cast something simple in order to go through the whole molding and casting process as well as leave more time for me to focus on starting with my final project. Thus I designed a one side mold with a set of two gears and a base, which ideally could be assembled and played with after casting.
Second Board The steps to use intelitek are not complicated after watching the TA go through them once:
        1.Hot glue the wax on the spoilboard (just for this week, there are other tools for fixing the materials if we are going to use the intelitek for other works)
        2.Select the tool (end mill) I am going to use and install it in machine (for this work it is #6 3/8" flat and #1 1/8" ball)
        3.Set zero for X, Y and Z using the control panel in software CNCBase
        4.Open my GCode file
        5.Start and run
It worked well during the rough path, except for the end mill spinning above the wax and ran like that without cutting any wax. I stopped the machine and reset the Z zero but it still had the same problem. After checking the Mastercam I found it showed in the simulated path so I did not need to worry about my previous Z zero settings.
Nightmares started from the finishing path. After I changed the tool and reset the Z zero, the system showed "Spindle Fault Detected" when I clicked run. So I reset everything again from the beginning but it didn't work. Then I reopened my rough path GCode file and do the same setting as the first time, the "Spindle Fault Detected" was still there so I think maybe it's the problem of the machine. Finally it was solved by turning off the Intelitek controller power and re-activating the machine.
When the machine finally started to mill, I found the spinning speed is not as fast as I expected, so I turned to the screen and was about to try adjust it. At that moment I heard a crack sound so I stopped the machine again. This time I broke the #1 1/8" end mill. (I'm really sorry!!!) The cutting part was stuck inside the wax so it should be caused by a collision at the shank part. This confused me since there was no collision warning in the Mastercam simulation. Then I turned back to Mastercam to check through all steps and found the mistake I've made: I forgot to check shank and shoulder for the collision checking in the simulator, you need to check them yourself otherwise the simulator will only check the holder and cutting length.
