Hi all,
This is my first time posting on solidworks forums, and with that, I am encountering some issues with running solidworks CAM on the lathe (tormach slant 15L) in the lab.
I researched a little bit, and followed the instructions based on what I found, however, I would always end up with G-Code errors on the machine. I used the post processor provided by Tormach for the Slant 15L, and followed how one would typically set CAM up for a part by using tolerance based machining
Would someone with experience be able to give some input on setting up CAM for my lathe??
Cheers.
Alexander,
We will need to have a little more information to be able to provide some help. Below are a few questions I have that may help the group.
1. Can you share any info on the part and how it is programmed at the moment? Share an image or the SW file?
2. What errors are seeing on the machine?
3. How are setting up the machine? (ie. where is zero set)
4. Do you have a quick video or image of the stock setup in the machine and the error? Does it try to move and then error or is it erroring before it even moves?
If you can provide some of this information we may be able to help you out as most lathes behave somewhat similar.
