How to program for 90 head

[Scott Bond]

How do you program for 90 head.

On a common 3 axes Haas.

I set my work offsets to front

,and the back plot looks good.

when I post it , the only differance is

A-90.

Is this all I need ?

No G18's

No G19's

 

I'm useing Virgen 9

The best solution is a application-specific post to handle this. The rotaxtyp variable can be set to 4 to force all of the data to univeral coordinates, but there are other things to consider - like enabling long hand drilling, G17/G18/G19 arc planes, disabling cutter comp in control, etc. - unless the control has internal WCS rotation capabilities - G68 (Fanuc), CYCLE 19 / G80 (Heidenhain TNC / ISO), G7 (MillPlus), ROT / AROT (Siemens), etc.

SCOTT,I had programmed that head when i worked there for the jhonford.

 

I did this in V8 at the time i will have to see if I can do the same thing in V9.

I can't find Edit nci,

where did they put it ?

[cadcam]

Under C-hooks, look for this WEDITNCI.DLL.

OK

I did get some results with edit nci.

It looks close,but I am getting this error.

 

!warning-unsupported function error recompile with key m-* .H files link with new m-*.obj files.

 

Wow the system really got P.O. ed about this one.
