4 AXIS

[RAJ]

i used our 4 axis on kitamura for the first time and as a test i engraved letters onto a diameter using roll in rotary settings.everything looks good on my screen but when i machine it all my letters look mirrored over y axis,i am using mpmaster on v8.11. i will put file on ftp "4 axis mirror.zip"

In the Rotary parameters set it to CCW. This is the proper direction for most rotary tables.

This will not change the output of the code but it change the backplot to how it will behave on the machine.

You can also use the roll function with the direction set to CCW to see how the letters look after they are wrapped.

 

See 4 AXIS MIRRORNEW2.zip on FTP site

 

Now you have to mirror your geometry (or draw the geometry relative to plane 4)

 

You may need to set rot_ccw_pos parameter in the post (although only if indexing is also incorrect).
