roughing Zlevel and CutOut problems

Post by ziogaio »

Hello. I have another problem with CUT3D, much more serious. I performed some work, even complex, without any problem. Today, having to realize a relatively simple shape, I decided to do one 'Zlevel' roughing. Unfortunately sending the file to the CNC, after many lines of code,some strange behavior occoured on stepper axes x and y. I tried other postprocessor, but the problem persists. Indeed it presents in several points of the design.
I eventually solved by switching to a 3dRaster roughing, but finding at the end that pass of cutout causes the same problem. What should I do, try reinstalling CUT3D?

You mention resulting problems, but never say what they are. Can you enlighten us?

essentially it is as though the stepper would return to a previous position of shot, then jump to the actual location where they should be

It sounds as tho you may be losing steps. If that is the case, then your roughing parameters may be too aggressive for your machine.
