5axes to 4

[phil darcy]

any one used flow 5 axes but checked box to output only 4 axes code.

I can only get 5axes code

the part is to be done with 4axes and should be fine (zy axes)

Is this because of my post?

 

Thanks ahead of time,

I use the 5 Axis Flow in 4 Axis mode quite often.

 

Are you sure that you are selecting the proper axis to use to rotate the 4th around ???

 

And your tool/Cplane should be set to what you would use for normal 3 axis machining.

 

IE. vertical mill would be TOP and TOP

 

You should get a position move ( for your 5th axis) at the beginning of the program and then XYZ and your 4th after that.
