Programing with 60 or 90 degree head

[wojtek90]

we have old CNC machine with with manually turning head and Funuc controller and processor for it.. I would like to be able to program it with Mastercam with head turned first 90 degree and later switch it to 60 degree. 

My question is how it can be done with Mastercam. Can you guys help me with example of couple holes and slot and face.

Planes is your answer. Just need to establish a good Pick up point to control your Zero from. I suggest using a Tooling ball. A custom post would be the easiest solution, but it can be done with a standard Fanuc post, just have to map your pick up for the work offsets out. Once you do then you should be good to go.

You have to create and use an angle head.

my profile has a test right angle head program in it if you want a starting point to up load / aggregate right angle head

if it was me i would quote this out and have a post developer handle the setup of that RAH. Inhouses post team (https://www.emastercam.com/post-request/) and postabilitys post team (https://postability.com/) are both experienced in configuring mastercam posts to support Right angled heads. If you figure out how to set it up on your own that is great but I can only assume they can be a bit tricky to get properly setup so many of our customers have went through inhouse or postability and they do great work so i recommend either of the companies that i linked above if you decide to quote out this service to have done by a professional mastercam post company
