C axis sub spindle warning

Recommended Posts

trying to learn how to use the c axis to machine a hex on the sub spindle.

i am getting a rotary/tilt axis unwind when choosing "C axis" as my rotary type,

if i choose "y axis", i get no warning. i cant use the "y axis" because it'll crash into the sub spindle.

i am using a 2d contour toolpath

i have tried "face contour" as well and gives me the same warning. 

thanks in advance. 

Machine " Okuma LB3000 EX II

i have attached a file

@crazy millman, thanks for the suggestion, tried it and still no luck.

yes, i did send the file to my dealer but some techs are at a trade show so it might take a little longer for them to get back at me. 

I tried a generic Lathe post and it work so it has to be something in the LMD or the post controlling this, Without a Z2G that has the Post would be hard to see what your seeing with just the Mastercam file.
