Generic HAAS TR 5AXIS

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm new to the multi axis world. I've been programing 3axis and I can say that I'm confident in any 3axis programing. However when I got into 5th axis I've been dealing with a lot of problems. Mainly posts as I don't know and was not taught in class how to edit the post to suit our machine. I'm currently working with HAAS TR210. The problem I've been having is with the transition. For example with the same tool, every time I want to rotate to cut at a different angle it would generate every single A and B movement which cause stuttering. What I have to do is having to add the same tool but different number then change it in the program later to simplify the movement.  Is there a way to edit the post to tell the machine to retract rotate with a single code line ? If you guys can help me out I would really appreciate it.  I just want to generate tool path without having to think ahead and add a whole bunch of tools for something simple.

Like this:

Open your post with a text editor.

Find the variable "brk_mv_head". Set it to '-1'.

I just checked mine is set to that value. Sorry if I don't  make sense. Kinda hard to explain 😅. So what I'm trying to say is when I'm using just 1 tool and rotate to cut say the back side instead of it posting B1. B2. B3. and A1. A2. A3. all the way to A90. B180. I just want the tool to retract  and post A90. B180. Thanks for helping me out

brk_mv_head  : no$   #Break the 5 axis moves to remove gouge
brk_max_ang  : -1     #'brk_mv_head' maximum angle move, applied if chordal

Setting those two variables should disable the "breaking behavior".

For proof; leave 'brk_mv_head' set to 'yes$', and set 'brk_max_ang' to '30.'. That will cause the Post to "break the moves" every 30 degrees, instead of every "1 degree".

 

Are you 100% certain of exactly which Post you are using? 

MP can grab a different Post Processor (in another location), depending on where the copies of your Post are located.

For debugging something like this, I typically add a String Literal line to 'psof$', so that I can be 100% sure I'm posting from the Post that I'm actually editing in the text editor.

psof$    #Start of file for non-zero tool

      "TEST POST", e$

That way I can be sure of which Post is doing the work.

If you want to be sure "at the time of posting", you can press the "G1" button to Post, and when the dialog box comes up, press and hold CTRL + SHIFT + ALT, and while holding those down, press "P" on the keyboard. That will activate the "Select Post" button, and allow you to browse and select a specific Post Processor.

 

If you are creating a "Test Post" to play around with, you will need to copy the ".PST" file, and the ".PSB" file, for MP to work when you Post the code. You must have two files with the exact same Post name, but one needs a .PST extension, and the other a .PSB.

Hey man thank you so much. It work!!! I changed to exactly how you had it and tested it and it did retract and did not break movement.  I'm excited not having to spend half an hour editing the program.
