Guys, sanity check please ...
I am running a program that has ran hundreds of times.
In fact it ran perfectly just yesterday.
Today, I've got 2 parts one after the other with unexplainable gouges and a .02 - .03 deviation in a Z-depth of a feature.
It is a 1 hour long purely 3D program with two simple 2D cuts at the very end.
The 3D portion is choppy as hell on some portions of the part, while perfectly smooth on the other portions.
Also, the 2 cuts of the 2D features are basically just a small wrench flats on two sides of the part, both should be at the very same depth.
And yet, one comes out .02 deeper than programmed, the other is .03 deeper!
There are no errors on the machine whatsoever, no anomalies of any kind displayed.
All I know is that it is pretty hot here today ( 85F ) and .... well, I know nothing else and can't think of anything else...
This is a 2007 vintage VF4.
Can this possibly be temperature related?
