rotating in verify, multiaxis

[DaveR]

I have mill3 with solids. I can rotate and zoom when I verify using true solid but with the 4th axis it won't allow true solids in verify. When verify is complete it won't allow me to rotate the view or zoom.

 

Is this the way it is or do I have some parameter set wrong?

4 and 5 axis true solids is an add-on....

[DaveR]

I don't suppose it happens to be one of those free add ons does it?

No! I guess you have to purchase it.

I would look into Vericut if you can afford it. Predator might work as well if you can find a properly set-up reverse post.

DaveR,

 

I believe it is called "Five axis Verify". You will have to talk to your dealer about the price. It isn't too much though. I can tell you that it works very well. We purchased it about one year ago and I have used it on many 4 and five axis jobs. It is kind of a "must have" in my opinion.

DaveR,

 

You can't rotate/zoom the 5 axis "standard" verify model once it has finished, but you can rotate/zoom the stock into approx. the position you want *before* you run the verify. Hope this helps.
