Rhinocam 2016 Setup Estimated time vs Actual
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2015 8:42 pm
Its taken a while but I have just upgraded from RhinoCam 2.0 to 2016 (STD) am just in the process of installing Rhino 5 64bit, as I was running the 32 bit for my Rhinonest which I have also now upgraded.
1st question: Will my Rhinocam 2.0 post work in Rhinocam2016 or do I need to get some changes made?
I have a Anderson selexxmate 3 axis router running with a Fanuc OI MB controller. The post is attached, this was setup by mecsoft support in about 2009.
Looking foward to setting it up over the christmas break, the main reason I have upgraded is the filters within the knowedge base that will save time when setting up semi custom parts.
I have attached the 2.0 post
EDIT: Got everything up and running pretty easily, using the 2.0 post with 2016 works fine!
Next issue: I have created a Job with drilling, profiling etc and has gone prety easily, the issue I have now is the estimated machine time is way too long, the V2.0 was getting acurate to +/-30 secs over a 20min job which was awesome, the current one seems to be maybe 3 hrs too long. ie estimated time: 3hrs 21mins, actual: 17mins, Acually this was created from the imported V2.0 file, not from new.
EDIT: Ok this is starting to look like a blog, anyone have any comments out there? I will update my progress anyway as I am sure others will have this issue, I have created a new MOP within V2016 and the time looks correct so there must be something effecting the 2.0 MOP, hopefully I can find it as I don't want to have to redo all the programs already set up in 2.0.
EDIT: Yes setting the transfer speed was the answer, well its pretty close anyway.
I have setup the attached drawing with 2 MOPs the old one (imported as a KB and using selection tools) and a new one created inside this drawing with Rhinocam 2016, the GOtos in the first are 199 and the second 67 (for the first operations) what is causing this?
