#MASTERCAM X5 RELEASE DATE SOFTWARE#
Now that I've upgraded M/C I will try it out once I get into the software and feel I'm competent enough to give it a good work out. Just waiting for the right job at the right time. I know this is one of those things I will want once I put it to use. I have not turned on this feature yet and was waiting for the right job to come along and try it out. They let you turn it on for something like 100 hours of Demo time and then you need to pay for it. The machine is fairly new and has a high speed option. I am running these jobs in a HAAS VF-2SS also when machining using these new tool paths I was programming feed rates north of 120 IPM and the machine was slowing down to 80 in many places and ignoring my programmed feed rate. My machine have to run and that's priority #1 so If I try something new and hit a wall with it I don't have much time to find out why and revert back to what I know works rather quickly. I am always strait out in the shop and don't have time to play around with things. This is why it's time for me to dig in and get up to speed with my skills.

I know this is me not knowing how to use them properly. I did see some difference but not enough to light my fire and get me using them more often. I played around some and the results were about the same. I programmed it using my old methods and looked at the estimated cycle time then used a H/S tool path and the time was not much different. For example I had a plate maybe 10 inches by 10 inches with an irregular shaped island in the center.
You're not using the high speed toolpaths in X5 right now?Ive tried them a little but was not sure I was using them properly as I would expect significantly reduced cycle times on parts and was not seeing it. Please chime in, any information about X9 will be welcome and please let me know what has worked for you in regards to learning and getting the most from your Master Cam software. What should I expect to see in X9 that is different from X5 ? Turning is pretty strait forward so I'm not expecting to see much in that department but I'm pretty excited about speeding things up on the mills both from a programming stand point and cycle time reduction.

Who's using X9 ? I am intrigued by all these high speed tool paths I keep hearing about that allow you to take full advantage of the entire cutter flute and machine speed. I really want to step it up and get the most from it. I have classes bought and paid for at my distributor a few years ago just waiting for me to find the time. We have HAAS lathes and mills as well as a FADAL 40X20 and Proto Trak lathes and Mills That will also change this year as we are about to bring on some additional help in January and I plan to add a mill this year. I could take on a lot more strait milling jobs but have limited talent/machines here and I am already spread pretty thin in the shop. Flats, slots, drilling and tapping.we are always using our 4th axis indexer for these jobs. Most of our turning work has secondary work done in the mills. We do about 60% turning here with the rest being strait mill jobs some requiring 3D surfacing operations. We are currently using X5 though I have X6 loaded and ready I just use X5 My goal for this coming year is to become an expert with it and start to make it pay off.
#MASTERCAM X5 RELEASE DATE UPGRADE#
I just decided to get with the program, upgrade to X9 and get back on maintenance. Things got tight a few years ago and I have been off maintenance for awhile. I am 100% self taught and do pretty well with it but know I am not taking close to full advantage of it, I suspect not even close. My shop has using Master Cam since the 90's I only started learning it myself a few years ago.
