5ax Mill Indexing

[[email protected]]

I have a fairly complex program I wrote for our Kitamura. Once we loaded it, we realized we are going to have to index A90 instead of A-90. Is there an easy way to flip this in Mastercam?

If your machine is anything like mine, I would not want it to go A+90. That is toward the back of the machine and you cannot see what is going on. Is this what is happening? This can be controlled partly in your machine definition file for your machine. It can be controlled in the post. It can also be controlled in the miscallaneous integers page under start solution. I set mine in the post (Camplete) to always use negative A Axis or and to never go positive. But this works for my machine and may not work for yours. You need to contact your reseller or post developer and tell them what you need. This shouldn't be too much to ask.

@[email protected] according to EIA 267-C standard as I understand it, that is opposite. If standing in front of the operator door, A- should tilt toward you and A+ shoudl tilt away from you. Any chance you can get the builder/dealer to switch that?
