2023 Lathe --C-Axis Cross Contour (parallel to axis)

[Code_Breaker]

Hello,

It has been a long time since I have done Lathe Programming. 

I lam programming a 3/8" EM to finish an HEX, then using TRANSFORM/ROTATE.

My CODE is correct and Back plot is OK, however my Machine Simulator is wrong. What parameter needs to active the correct movement?

Thank,

Don

Hi Don - I don't do any lathe programming any more...however i might be able to offer some advice to help you regardless.  I notice you are having a problem...and you even tell us, "Machine Simulator is wrong"...but I would guess no one has come to your aid because at one point or another, everyone has had MachSim do something wrong.

This is a long-winded way of suggesting you might want to consider providing more detail beyond, "X doesn't work - please help".  I'll bet if you can provide enough detail on your problem, you'll have an answer in short order...

Known bug. The code is good then call it a day.

Thanks Ron,

 

Also, Machine Simulator does not recognize STOCK FLIP.

Yes, your best bet is "Backplot & Verify Only".
