Does anybody know how to keep tool down on the surface in 5 axis surface milling? I get allot of jumping to retract height as Pro/nc mills the surface. Thanks...
There may be a problem with the surface you chose to mill. Try creating a milling surface using the copy utility. Sometimes this will clean up any discrepancies in the surface definition.
Also, if this surface is not critical and can vary from the original surface, open the tolerance in the sequence parameters. This may also do the trick. Good luck.
I have found this to happen when using 3-axis. I have found that when milling a complex cavity the tool will jump to the retract plane when it meets a round. Its not a problem when rough cutting, but it also occurs on the finish cut which leaves a small line. I am using proe 2001. Is this a bug with nc in 2001?
