Hi Antony,

Your DXF files are setup for the example Biesse tool names, you have to change the layer name coding to correspond to the tool set up on our machine.

We have set up several Biesse machines that run with no problem but as this is not something we do on a day to day basis I do not know off hand the exact coding Biesse requires, especially as the exact coding sequence changes from Biesse Works to Bsolid as well as from version to version.

For this reason it’s best to see with the Biesse engineers what you have to put in the layer name.

The layer name set up is very simple, and the general coding principles are explained in the Biesse-DXF-doc I attached previously.

For example:

The part outline is set up actually  with “TCHW0B1DP0TNM$EBAU16D$CRC2ID$CONTOUR$”.

The section that defines the tool name is the value after 0TNM between the $ signs , $EBAU16D$. In your case this value has to be changed to $12mmrout$.

The <E> and <P> letters are variables that change according to the values set in Polyboard.

To set up the layer name you have to click the layer name edit 3 dots button :

The dialogue box is divided into 2 columns, the Available Items list and the Format list. 

For a fixed text section of the layer name, select the text field and drag and drop the item to the Format list and edit the text.

To add the thickness or another variable drag and drop also to the Format list.

In the layer name the variable names will be replaced with the appropriate symbol.

For the horizontal drilling files you can export directly the CIX files to Bsolid using the BiesseWorks CID-CIX post processor.

Once the tool names set up correctly, this will create a file you can load directly into Bsolid. 

Once in Bsolid you’ll have to erase the tool paths that are not required.

However, if you have a nesting cnc machine, to optimise machine time, I’d strongly suggest that you eliminate horizontal drilling and use nesting hardware.

We have nesting hardware that not only eliminates the need for horizontal drilling but also completely hides the cams.

Have a look at this page on our web site:

Hope this is helpful,

Hi Antony,

It’s not clear to me what the problem is here.

Can you post :

– the Polyboard file 

– the Post processor Optinest-par Bsolid DXF output

– the Optinest file and the DXF cutting nested parts output

Please also specify the tool numbers and eventually rotation and feed rates, used for each operation:

– Out line

-Vertical drilling

– Inner tooling

– Tooling Edges

thanks 

Ness
