creating a machine model - error in tool position

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 09:23:44 GMT

Hey guys, I was trying to create a machine for machine simulation and at the moment I have a curious error.

It´s a 5-axis milling machine.

In standard setup (A+0 C+0) my tool holder is in the correct position (Screenshot_1) but in different setups my tool holder is placed anywhere. (Screenshot_2).

I´ve tried to delete the tool position and after that add a new position but the error is still there.

I took a machine model from the example and replaced the original volumes with mine... I also transformed the toolloc_ucs to the position I need for my machine. Anything wrong here? (Screenshot_3)

Any help would be great. Thank you

Hello @Anonymous

It look like you did the right thing but sometime working with machine definition is a little bit tricky...thus the button -Start Over- in the Options tab I guess...

I made some test at my end to broke an md file to try found what could cause this at your end. I had to delete previous tool location and Add Tool Location and redefine all the solids Movement to make it work correctly again.

Hope this will help but if you want attached your .md file, I will try to help you to get this resolved.
