Generic Fanuc 5X Mill swapping of X and Y

[s.s.cheema]

I have noticed that generic fanuc 5x mill post outputs x and y values swapped. Are they going to fix it in next ver X2?

Thanks

Whoa,

 

I am not seeing this, have any mods been made or are you using the base release?

Is your Tplane back to front?

I am using mr2. Well I talked to my dealer and he said he'd look into it. I tried a simple machine def. using table/table vertical 5axes. After making one simple 2d-contour toolpath in front plane I saw it swapping X values with Y values in output.

Was the post setup for Table table? note that this is not set from the Machine def

Thanks for the tip and my fellow programmer also told me same thing and I was little disappointed that machine def cant be read by generic 5x pst.

Anyhow I got it working now by changing primary and secondary axis angle description inside the post. Only problem I have now it spits B move first and then A. Can it be fixed? Thanks again.

I believe changing this to the correct order is what you'll need to t do

 

code:

---

#Assign axis address

str_pri_axis "C"

str_sec_axis "B"

str_dum_axis "A"

---

Well this is not the right way to apporach it in my opinion. I would look at my matb$ varaible and adjust those to get the correct axis output. This give you what you are talking about without having to modify alot in the post.

Try Changing this around

 

pbld, n$, *sgcode, *s_out, *p_out, strcantext, e$

 

s = Secondary

p = primary
