As shown in Figure 11.40(d), six letters-“Groove”-in an outline style are defined in the design model. The toolpath for the engraving sequence in this example is created using a Groove feature in Pro/ENGINEER.
For some intricate surfaces, Pro/MFG may not be able to process the trim function. In using Pro/MFG, creating a mill volume involves making a sketch, extruding the sketch for a solid block, and intersecting the block with the design model to generate a trim solid feature that represents exactly the material to be removed.
Note that in creating a volume milling sequence using Pro/MFG, users will have to create a “mill volume,” which defines the portion of the workpiece to be removed. In general, the toolpath generated for volume milling is acceptable. As shown in the machining simulation, this small cutter is able to reach most pocket areas to make cuts, except the narrow area (e.g., the narrow cross line in the letter “N”) and sharp corners. CNC sequences for machining a name plate using Pro/MFG: (a) creating text for volume milling, (b) adding a spline, (c) machining simulation in Vericut, and (d) adding text for an engraving sequence.Īn ⅛ in. workpiece, using both Pro/MFG and Mastercam.įigure 11.40. This tutorial example involves designing and creating a toolpath for machining a customized name plate on a 3 in. This example should help you become more familiar with Pro/MFG, Mastercam and/or CAMWorks. Machining the block using CAMWorks is discussed in Tutorial S4.4.5. Since some information about this example has been discussed in Section 11.3 using Pro/MFG, we will focus more on Mastercam. Three CAM software, Pro/MFG, Mastercam, and CAMWorks are employed for this example.
Once you are more familiar with one of these two software tools, you may move to the second tutorial example-block with a sculpture surface-in which both rough and finish cuts are required. In addition, after going through this simple example, you should see the major differences between the two software tools, and hopefully be able to identify a few pros and cons of each. This name plate example involves profile and volume millings and is presented so that you may learn to use Pro/MFG and/or Mastercam in projects P4 and M4, respectively. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.Kuang-Hua Chang, in e-Design, 2015 11.6.2 Tutorial ExamplesĪ name plate and a sculpture surface example are included in the tutorial lessons. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available. Moreover, don’t forget to check with our website as often as possible in order to stay up to date with the latest releases.
That being said, click the download button, get and install the controller’s software, and enjoy all its available features. In addition to that, after installing the software, we suggest performing a system restart to make sure that the changes take effect properly. In addition to that, applying the appropriate files lets users configure the controller’s functions and buttons, and might even add support for various accessories compatible with the device.Īs for applying this release, the steps are very easy: make sure your operating system is supported by this software, get the package (extract it if necessary), run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions for a complete installation.Įven though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified.
Installing the controller’s drivers and utilities allows the system to properly recognize the connected device (either wired or wireless products), as well as to use all of the unit’s features, such as force feedback, custom vibrations, and others. Close the wizard and perform a system reboot to allow changes to take effect. Read EULA (End User License Agreement) and agree to proceed with the installation process. Allow Windows to run the file (if necessary). Locate and double-click on the newly-downloaded file. Save the downloadable package on an accessible location (such as your desktop). Make sure that all system requirements are met. To install this package please do the following: Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified. If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones.
This package contains the files needed for installing the Mad Catz Saitek X52 Pro Flight Controller Driver.
