To edit a profile, select it with the “Machine” dropdown menu, change whatever fields you like below, and press “Save”.Ī new profile is created any time you change “Name” to a name that didn’t exist before and press “Save”. It also remembers the profile you last selected in the Feeds and Speeds calculator and brings that up each time you restart G-Wizard. G-Wizard remembers all the profiles you create. Safe Mode: Turning on Safe Mode enables extra margins for error for beginners to greatly reduce the risk of breaking a tool. There is also a chipload adjustment available tool by tool in the Tool Crib.
You should take 100 million as the tool will last a LOT longer! Because the numbers get silly after a while, I limit the results to be no more than 1000 times longer life.Ĭhipload Adjustment: The value, in percent, by which to multiply chipload. Setting it to 10% predicts 100 million x longer life. In the screen shot, setting SFM to 80% results in 6x longer tool life. This line tells you the contribution your SFM Adjustment makes to Tool Life. Tool Life Estimate: The biggest contributor to Tool Life is surface speed, according to Taylor’s Tool Life Equation. There is also an SFM adjustment available tool by tool in the Tool Crib. 200% would double the recommendation while 50% would hav e it. 100% will simply used G-Wizard’s recommendation. SFM Adjustment: The value, in percent, by which to multiply SFM. word time: A measure of how many blocks your controller can execute.Ĭoolant on/off time: Used by GWE to figure program run time Spindle 0-max rpm time: Used by G-Wizard editor to figure program run time Machine Weight: This is used for Rigidity compensation by G-Wizard Calculator. The number is usually determined through experimentation. Travels: What are your machine’s axis travels.Īcceleration: What is the maximum accurate acceleration of your CNC? This is used by the interpolation calculator to keep feedrate within this limit so you get an accurate hole. Max Rapids: G-Wizard Editor uses this information, for example to calculate how long it will take a program to run. Sorry, G-Wizard only tracks one, so if you have different maxima on different axes, you’ll have to choose one. Feed: The maximum feedrate of your machine. Calculator doesn’t use this information but G-Wizard Editor does. Tool Changer Slots and Change Time: Use chip to chip for change. G-Wizard will keep your cuts within this limit.Ĭoolant: What kind of coolant does your machine use? HP: The maximum horsepower your spindle will produce. Name: Call it whatever you’d like, but keep it short
Here are all the different kinds of information G-Wizard can use. – Advanced is for squeezing the maximum performance out of G-Wizard. Creating these profiles is quick and easy. – Simple is for creating profiles that have the minimum information needed to make G-Wizard work. Note the buttons next to the Machine Profile Selector: Machine profiles let’s you create new custom profiles for your machines.
