Confused about rotation...

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

I am having a strange problem with the rotation on my horizontal post.

 

From bottom center I have B0

From Right center I have B270

From Top center I have B180

From Left Center I have B90.

 

The B0 and B180 are right, but the B90 & B270 are backwards.

 

Is there something in the post that would reverse these two? I have not drawn it wrong, cause I have done tons of rotational parts and never (recently, anyways) had a problem.

 

Thanks!

If the post is an old post, from pre-version X, you would need to flip the direction of rotation in the post, rot_ccw_pos is the variable. For newer posts, (as I suspect yours is), the direction of rotation is kept in the machine def, in the rotary axis ( should be labeled as HMC B Axis or similarly). If you edit this axis, change the direction of rotation from CW to CCW or vise versa.

Thanks Chris, that did 'er. And yes, I am using the mpmaster (or my hacked up version of...) that was posted a few weeks ago on here. =]

 

Appreciated!

I have a mpmaster makino post that is doing the same thing that Randys was 90 and 270 were swapped I changed the B axis direction in machine def like Chris suggested and now they are right except for I get a "ROTARY AXIS LIMITS EXCEEDED"

error. Is there still something in the post that is giving me that error that I need to change?

I have the generic mpmaster horizontal and it posts right and doesn't give this error.

 

Thanks,
