Thanks for the welcome guys ....heck where do i start?

Ok here it goes>,,,whom here has a solution to heidanhain's conflicts to cycle def 19?...sadly this has been a hinderance when rotating the head on my machine ....not to mention the fact that my predecessors lost the post here at Geneng and i have had to start from scratch...cut here ...paste there..the support ppl here in brisbane did not have any backups of the post and some how all copies of for these machines disappeared when my predecessor left

 

 

so as it stands i have gotten this far...

 

i have got the head to rotate and i dont have any errors anymore in my post.. but i lose my wcs position when i do rotate the head ...im thinking i might be forced to use the work positions in the machine and pick up everytime i index the head at a different angle...can i get away from this?

 

i also have 3 wire edms that cant do 4 axis cutting without scalloping the parts ...i tried to update the old post but it does nothing ...so im force to switch from ver7 to ver 9 all the time

...Thanks for inquiring Don S...

The machines are sodicks and to do 4 axis machining i have to use the version 7 with the old post ...when i tried version 9.1 and updated the post i was getting scalloping and less then half of the info in the programs
