No Feedrate in G code with dental shaving

[Hessel Oosten]

Hi Art/ All,

Question please.

I recently did build a 4th axis and now I'm doing my first gear cuts with together tangential, rooting and rootwall set to ON.

http://members.chello.nl/~h.oosten/Bouw/4thaxis.jpg

In the toolbox and above in the 4th axis menu I can see the Feedrate is 300 mm/min.
Get a correct G code output for everything, but NO feedrate in this G code.

What am I doing wrong ?
Of course I did in the mean time put the G1 F 300 in this output myself, but ... ?

Code begin below; as can be seen never a Feedrate in it. (Did search in the whole file: No feedrates).

Hi Hessel:

  Did you by any chance edit the defaultmill.pst file? If not, can you send me the saved project file, Ill generate it here
and see if I can reproduce. If you DID edit the defaultmill.pst, can you send IT to me so I can check to see if something
made the feedrate go away?

Thx

Hi Hessel:

  I recieved your project..and of course on my system the feedrates come out fine. Is there anythign funny abotu your feedrates, do they use a european , instead of a . for a decimal for example? Does this happen on all tools or only 1? Can you trhink of anything in the settings that
may look strange? Im just trying to et an idea what coudl cause this type of thing..

Thx

Hi Art,

Progress !
When I change in the same " project..." the mill with a (with regard to dimensions) inch type, I GET the expected Feedrates in the G code !

For example:

(  No Epilog set )( Gearotic 2.0 GCode Begins. )
( Object Spur  )
( Job will comprise 1 rotations of the rotary axis.  )
( Tools Used:  )
( Rooting: EndmillInch-E-R0.13-T0.0-F0.0 Tool #5  )
( Wall Straightening: EndmillInch-E-R0.13-T0.0-F0.0 Tool #5  )
( Tangential Shave: EndmillInch-E-R0.13-T0.0-F0.0 Tool #5  )
( Blank size for this gear :  )
( Diam: 38.4247 Thickness: 3.000 )
( Root Clearance Begins. )
( Tool change to EndmillInch-E-R0.13-T0.0-F0.0 )

After all, this is a very frequent occurring problem with software.
Encountered it several times with others, but did not think it could happen to... me ....

Thanks (again!),

Hessel:

  Thank you for letting me know, I will investigate why this might occur.
Happy to see you can now get the feedrates.
