#Distance from tilt pivot point to gauge line

 

 

can someone explain this to me is this from table to pivot?

its our first experience with 5 axis okuma table to table

thanks for any help in advance

The pivot point is the point that the spindle rotates on. The gauge line is the tip of the spindle.

 

With table/table I don't think you need to worry about that.

its from center of rotation of the A-axis to the gage point for the tooling in the spindle.

if your setup is like mine you need to do the programming from the center of rotation.

 

if you look at info for tool holders there is a gage line and this is sometimes the tip of the spindle too.

 

also the gage line is used for tool setting out of the machine with a presetter.

On my Table-Table setup, there is only an offset distance from center of "A" rotation to top of "B" table.

The gauge line is where all holder measurements are taken from. It's about where the taper grind ends.

 

The pivot point is typically the distance from the tip of the tool to the rotation point on a nutating head. (picture the distance from the tip of your finger to the center of rotation of your elbow) but in your case it will be the distance fro mthe face of your table to the rotation point of the truntion.

The trunion rotation distance will be set in this section.

#Axis shift

shft_misc_r : 0 #Read the axis shifts from the misc. reals

#Part programmed where machine zero location is WCS origin-

#Applied to spindle direction, independent of RA

#Table/Table -

#Offset of tables to secondary axis relative to machine base.

#Tilt Head/Table - Head/Head -

#Part programmed at machine zero location-

#Offset in head based on secondary axis relative to machine base.

#Normally use the tool length for the offset in the tool direction

saxisx : 0 #The axis offset direction?

saxisy : 0 #The axis offset direction?

saxisz : 6.5325 #The axis offset direction?

 

-------------------------

 

The pivot point to gauge line for a head rotation setup would allow you to put the pivot distance in your post and the gauge length from the tool would go in your machine tool lenth offset value.

 

For table/table, depending on your control type, your tool length should be a standard offset. The tables do all the work.
