Generic post


Recommended Posts

These are the 5axis settings in the generic 5x post

I think these will give you the results you need

 

#Assign axis address

str_pri_axis : "C"

str_sec_axis : "B"

str_dum_axis : "A"

#Toolplane mapped to top angle position strings

str_n_a_axis : "A"

str_n_b_axis : "B"

str_n_c_axis : "C"

#Misc. String settings

sopen_prn : "(" #String for Open Parenthesis "("

sclose_prn : ")" #String for Close Parenthesis ")"

sextnc$ : "NC" #String for program extension

#Machine rotary routine settings

mtype : 0 #Machine type (Define base and rotation plane below)

#0 = Table/Table

#1 = Tilt Head/Table

#2 = Head/Head

#3 = Nutator Table/Table

#4 = Nutator Tilt Head/Table

#5 = Nutator Head/Head

head_is_sec : 1 #Set with mtype 1 and 4 to indicate head is on secondary

 

 

 

#Preferred setup is pri. zero matches sec. zero/direction

#Zero machine and determine the planes perp. to axis rotations

#These plane combinations are valid:

#Primary plane XY XZ YZ

#Secondary or XZ XY XY

#Secondary YZ YZ XZ

#Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms)

#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane

rotaxis1$ = vecx #Zero

rotdir1$ = vecy #Direction

#Secondary axis angle description (in machine base terms)

#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis and this plane normal

#are aligned to calculate the secondary angle

rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero

rotdir2$ = vecx #Direction
