Haas 5axis rotary rewind help

Recommended Posts

Good afternoon,

I have a Haas VF2 with a TRT160 on the table and have a program that moves the A-axis to 90 degrees and then performs a 4-axis Rotary toolpath with the B-axis rotating continuously as the Z-axis moves up and down.  My issue is that the MasterCam post I have will only rotate the B-axis 9,999.0 degrees and then it moves the tool up and rewinds to 0 degrees in increments of 1 degree at a time.  The entire program rotates about 63,000 degrees.  I'd like to either increase the limit of rotation above 9,999.0 degrees, and I can see where to do this in the post:

pri_limlo$   : -9999
pri_limhi$   : 9999

 

However, the post file is encrypted and it will not let me use it if I make edits myself.  I've tried changing post parameters through MasterCams GUI but this parameter does not appear, or at least I can't find it.

 

Thanks
