General Mach Discussion / XY Arc Problems which Crash Machine still cropping up
« on: March 07, 2007, 07:19:03 PM »
Hello all, I have had this problem cropping up with my system on and off now for a while. I know there are some settings in my MasterCam which are guilty of some of the problems and I have fixed them or so I think until suddenly there it is again. I wanted to see if anyone else out there had come across this issue. Attached is the GCODE of a peice I was working on, it got to line 3800 and then took off in a big loop right through the workpeice. These "arcs" or circles seem to occur randomly in some of my code and it seems to be related to my POST but it is hard to FIND them as they dont allways show up on the toolpath screen. I seem unable to comprehend exactly what or why Mach three is following the arc the long way round or why the POST format is interpreted that way as I cant tell the difference between what works and what doesnt....G Code is still a foreign language to me. Anyone ever encounter this ? is there a permanent solution for my POST/MASTERCAM...?
Thanks in advance
Mike
