That is good news.
Let me know if you have any more problems.

Hi Isaac
I just ran exactly the same test that I did before Christmas which did not work then using your original suggestion and low and behold it now works and puts the passing in. I am not sure what changed over Christmas but all is well that ends well.
Many Thanks
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
I have looked into this again and believe that this will work with a maximum depth value as was in my first explanation.
I have completed a test with a maximum value of 15mm. You can see a multiple pass in the coding with a z value of 15, and then another z value at 18.
This should be the solution you need.
If you have loading errors can you please send them to me for analysis.
Regards, Isaac

Hi Isaac,
Firstly Happy New Year.
I am afraid not cutting through is not really the point of he software, we really need for the passing option and for it to work otherwise we may as well do it by hand defeating the objective. If you can fix this it would be great
Many thanks
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
If the previous option did not work, then I would recommend testing a negative inner tooling’s vertical overlap value.
If you add a negative value, this will stop before cutting the completed depth of your inner tooling. For example, you may leave 1mm (with a -1mm value) so that the small piece does not detach when being machined, and you can complete the cut manually post machining.
Please let me know how this goes.

Hi Patrick,
Sorry for the delay. I will look into this more and respond to you soon.

Hi Isaac
I am afraid Maestro does not have such a function, if building by hand the user has to know the maximum cutting depth of the tool and put passes in so that the bit does not break. When loading form files t needs to be instructed that passing is required and the depth of each pass and the depth of the final pass along with the unidirectional instruction.
As it is as the moment we will have to go into the final nesting and alter every cut with these instructions. If we have to renest for some reason which we do on the machine every time to make sure all the tooling is correct for the job, then the it all has to be done again as it reads directly from the XCS file. This creates vast amounts of work and a severe high risk of something being missed and the tool breaking.
It really needs to come through the XCS and hence from polyboard.
Thanks

Patrick,
To upload a file, please save it in a compressed zip folder.
In this situation, I believe your best option will be to assign a maximum depth to your tool in Maestro, in your tooling parameters set up. All PolyBoard is doing here is calling upon an existing tool, and using your existing tool parameters.

Hi Isaac
I am afraid that did not work as Maestro comes up with loading errors. I have attached the errors that it gives and the XCS file. I had to change the extension on the XCS to TXT as the website will not allow the upload of an XCS.
Let me know if there is something else i could do
Thanks
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
Please try the following, let me know if this resolves your problem:
1. Create a custom tooling in your post processor and add your maximum cutting depth.
2. Add the custom tooling to your inner tooling
Please test this with a Maestro export.
Regards, Isaac
