Yes, that might be helpful. I will send that in for an enhancement for future releases. You probably already know this, but what I do is put a space or two between tools for main spindle, and tools for sub-spindle. Helps me keep track better, as in MTM you can put the tools in any position you want. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials Keeping the tool groups separate like that helps for sure. What gets me is when I'm looking through my OP tiles, the "tool number" for that OP is the GIBBS tool number from the list, not the actual tool call I'll be using in the machine. If my upper head tool #2 in the machine is defined in Gibbs below my turning tools in slot 15, it shows up as T15 on the op tile. Not the end of the world, but when you need 40 tools and have 100 OPs its not hard to juxtapose yourself into confusion. Thanks for listening!

Watch this video. At about 3min I show you why you might not be getting a toolpath. Most of the time it's because of the lead-in lead-out numbers. This should help you. ruclips.net/video/0rZ3ksTPibY/видео.html

Thank you so much!! New to Gibbs and have been having some troubles getting used to it.

@@Josh.schenk Thanks for watching !

Glad I can be of some help. Thanks for watching!

Sorry, for the confusion. Since you can have the fixture rotate by just changing the orientation setup when you add it, it sometimes can be front to back, then left to right. Thanks for watching.

Please tell me the timeline, and I can hopefully explain what I did. Thanks for watching.

Désolé, je devrai peut-être faire la traduction dans mes vidéos. Merci d'avoir regardé !

j'ai l'aide sur mon Gibbscam en anglais comment je peux le voir en français s'il vous plaît ?

We do have GibbsCAM classes, only in English. They are by Zoom. Pricing depends on if you are one of my GibbsCAM customers or not. Please email me if you want more information.

Thanks for watching, and also thanks for the recommendations!

Thanks for watching!

Yes, but you need to go from tile to space, then back to tile again and space. If you don't go back to space you will not see the toolpath of that tile, which can be confusing, but now you can just click on the tile and Boom, there is the toolpath! Thanks for watching

Not sure if I understand your question. Normally when dimensioning we never have the dimensions on top of geometry. We always move them off, just like in CAD to make a blue print. I tried putting a line across another line and I have no problem selecting either one, even after dimensioning both of them. If you are talking about points on-top of other points, or lines on top of other lines, there is a menu under Plug-ins called Cleanup. Click on that and you can remove duplicate geometry that is on top of each other. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. I will probably do a more in-depth of how to use Solid Attributes in the future, as this was just a sample.

Not really, because the Volumill creates the toolpath automatically, then it looks for the starting location, then drills at that point so the EM can enter. Thanks for watching!

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials Thanks

Top, também estava com essa mesma duvida, e agora quase uma hora da manha achei a resposta que não tem como realmente kkk.

Hi nogoprecision. If you are talking about the XYZ coordinate arrows when you open a CS, it is automatic now. I believe Gibbs implemented this in around the 2022 version. There isn't anything to turn on or off, it is just there, unless you turn off the grid. Thanks for watching!

Volumill will always be changing feed rates based on what it conceives as chip load on the end mill. Example, a long straight cut could go your programmed feedrate, but a small arc at that feedrate would overstress the end mill and chip load, especially going into corners where is might snap off the tool. Hope this helps. You could change to just a Roughing process, where is using only one feedrate, but normally you have to slow down the feed rate if you don't want the end mill to break in corners. Thanks for watching.

You are correct that we can combine bodies as needed. This is just a sample on how to do it. It is YOUR choice on what you want to combine or keep as separate. Just an example. Calm down. Thanks for watching though.

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials Calm down? People could see how to do it after the first 2 bodies. An additional 10+ minutes were wasted on parts that absolutely do not matter. There's so many things that could have been covered instead. I followed this tutorial to the letter which was a bit different than what I experienced on my end (V24.0.60) and there's still several things that don't work right. When I run the machine sim on a part. I set the POV lock correctly and make sure everything is set to visible yet the table and Y axis does not show up and no matter what options I choose the Z axis moves in and out on the Y axis (and correctly on the Z axis) The bodies ARE in the correct folders in the machine manager and the coordinates are setup correctly. Everything behaves fine in the Test Machine tab with the sliders.

@@Mochinist-bk6yj See link above to download the completed machine sim.

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials I loaded your tutorial model and was getting the same result. So I started looking into why this was happening and found that in the document control under the machine tab that it was still set to the regular 3-axis mill rather than the correct sim machine. Changing that fix all the movement issues and everything behaves correctly now.

@@Mochinist-bk6yj Glad you got it working. Remember when you run Machine sim, you need to fill out the lower portion of the Document Control section. The numbers that go in there are from your origin of your part to the center of the table that was set up in the MDD. The Z would be from the bottom of your vise to your origin. This would be a positive number. This will move your part up.

@@吴哥-u4y 转到此链接... online.gibbscam.com/software_downloads.php

Your are mistaken. The GenIII DMU50 has a B-axis travel of 145 deg. -35d +110.

I am being dead..We produce this kind of parts..on mill-turn..cuz very risky on milling machines....nakamura tome....machine dedicated for these parts....multitasking double spindles..lef right....finish op1...transfer in spindle 2...and finish.

@@Hanal503 Nakamura machines are very nice !

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials I know...We are using these machines...including automation....robo job.

See the answer I sent you 7 months ago. These are just examples of the different kind of toolpaths. I never said this is how you should cut it.

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials We know that....but who see that...will say that this is the correct programming...but in final...it is not.

This was just an example of how you can control the tilting of the tool through a part. This was not a video on travel limits or undercutting. You could also put tilt lines on the opposite side to reverse the tool approach. Thanks for watching !

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials... the biggest problem.....in reality that example can not be machined....like this.

@@Hanal503 Actually this can be done very easily. See link...ruclips.net/video/v_kjJoYZ3ZA/видео.html

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials 😄😄😄 you make me smile.

Yes, you can. If you double-click on a operation, then go to the process it loaded, then right-click again and click on "Save Process list" which will open a window and ask you where you want to save it. You can rename this anything you like. It also saves the tool you used. Then when you start to create a new part, and maybe you want to use that same process, you can just right-click the process box and choose "Load Process List", which will load that same process and create the tool, then all you need to do is maybe adjust your depths, etc, and you are good to go. You can also set a folder to "always" look in that folder each time. Many customer create processes for specific tools and materials, then they can just load a process and all it good to go.

Yes, you are correct ! Thanks for watching.

Sorry, I do not. I have not made one. Doing a 5-axis simulation sim would take a very long time. Just like this one here, you can start with a 5-axis machine in Gibbs then clone it for your own machine, then start importing the models and start to "tweak" everything to work correctly, and then you would need to test the rotations, etc on a real machine to see if the rotations are all correct. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Once you learn Gibbs you will be much faster in using it.

Thank you for watching. Yes, Swiss machining can boggle my mind. It is a lot different than standard machining, but not too difficult to program in Gibbs.

That is for another video. If you want to know what the 33% is, it has a lot to do if you have a pocket and want to drill out the corners prior to machining the pocket. Again, that will be in another video. This one was just for drilling prior to using Volumill. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for letting me know. I will have to look into this further, and go over how the inter-ops works. Within the last few years Gibbs has put out what they call "Master" posts, that will have all the necessary inter-ops and other features in the MDD, and then is usually what they start with when creating a post for a customer. Thanks for watching.

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials thanks for your response. I will say I have been seeing improvements to the post edits in the last year or two. Know when I get my post back, I get a document about stating the changes that have been made.

Yes, they started doing that this year so customers know what was changed/requested, whereas before we had to open up the guts of the post to read all the notes.@@cncmilljunkie

Yes, you are correct. Sorry. They added it a year or two ago. Maybe it's time to upgrade? Thanks for watching!

Here is a link to the .mac file. It does look like there are options to use mm instead of inch, but you can take a look and modify if needed. www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/ia7lud1jrho8y3o0bl85q/h?rlkey=t0d0ea2h044v7qqn9b6bawe1v&dl=0

Thanks for quick reply. It's this file that comes with the macro so it's the one I'm already working with. I am not a programmer but as I understand it, the macro takes information from the mill part and checks if it is INCH or MM, and recalculates the values to INCH if it is MM to calculate where the part should be placed in the vise. My question is more about whether it is possible to enter the three editable values at the top in MM instead of INCH. If anyone knows if this is possible, please let me know what needs to be changed, thanks.@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials

I solved it! If anyone else who doesn't use INCH wants to do the same, then only delete all *25.4 in the MAC file (9 occurrences). Then the three values at the top must be written in MM. 😃

Glad you got it working !@@JonasBohden

I haven't done one for a lathe yet, but working on it. Thanks for watching !

You are correct, but my example is only for a 3-axis mill, not a 4th axis mill. Thanks for watching!

You need to make sure you choose a 4-axis vertical mill when programming. If you choose a 3-axis mill you will not be able to program the 4th axis.

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials thank got it working

Thanks for watching !

Sorry, I do not have permission to send Haas digital files. Best if you contact Haas and see if they can provide you one. Their files used to be free to download from them, but not sure if that has changed.

It's free through HAAS, but I had to email support and ask for the model for my machine. Just make sure to ask for a solid model file. They originally sent me an STL mesh file which will not work. They resent me a .step file and that worked fine.

@@Mochinist-bk6yj Thanks, that's good to know! Thanks for watching.

If you are using the machine I set up, make sure your Machine is a 3-axis vertical mill, then import the model. If the last time you used Gibbs, and had it set to a horizontal mill, or something else Gibbs will import the model into that machine. Always start a new bland file, choose a 3-axis vertical mill, then import the machine model. Hope this helps.

@@GibbsCAMVideoTutorials thank u for all the effort that u made in those vedios we would like to see more vedios like this

Another coming on Friday.

This video is one that shows how to machine on main using a SLUG, then transferring to the sub-spindle. If you are machining from a billet, then parting off, then transfer to the sub-spindle, the use of the Utilities process changes a bit. I might do another video in how to program using a long bar. As far as your 5-axis post, the post department sets up the MDD in accordance on how the customer wants to program. I normally like to program from COR (center of rotation), which works very well. Some programmers like to program from the table top, but depending on how the customer wants to program will be how the MDD is set up. Also A and B axis sometimes have limits. You can always have the post department change the MDD to how you want to program 5-axis parts. You would need to be on Maintenance, as Gibbs does send out posts for older versions. If you are on Maintenance, then there will be a post charge normally, then you would have aprox 6 months to have them make any other changes at no-charge. Hope this helps.
