Mill/turn post question

[gcode]

I'm working in X2_MR1 with a V9 post.

The post outputs good code, but the C axis winds

up > 360° unless you force a toolchange on every

operation.

I've tried to set this in the mach def

and looked at the start of the post for a switch

with no luck.

the post has the following variable

 

#C-axis variables for calculations

c_axistype : 0 #1 = C axis winds-up, 2 = C axis signed absolute

#3 = index positioning (do not set here, use string)

 

I need option 2... what do they mean by

"use string"

[gcode]

Wow... where are all the post guru's when you need them.

This one is kicking my butt.

I'd start over with a new X2 post, but there are

massive edits required for teh drill cycles

Tom,

Not a post guru, but what about this ?

It's from a V9 Post for Fanuc Controlled Kuraki Horizontal I used to program parts for.

Under the Rotary Axis Settings.

code:

---

 one_rev     : 1     #Limit rotary indexing between 0 and 360? (0 = No, 1 = Yes)

This should do the trick

c_axistype : 2
