Right angle head by Centerline

[Code_Breaker]

Have anyone used Mastercam to program for a Right Angle Unit ATC, with fixed torque pin ... both milling and drilling?

 

[gcode]

Do you have a good post??

Is the machine comping the tool length

from the C/L of the RA head.

or do you have to post with a given tool length.

I hacked a router post together to do some

RA work on an HBM, but we set the RA head by hand

so I just programmed it to tooltip.

Haven't done a thing... it is just something another programmer is afraid of ... and I have never done it, but can "visulize" it in my head.

 

Most of the post is done thru Vericut, but send me what you got to [email protected] in X4 and I will try to make it work ...

 

Thanks, this is a real blessing from God ...

If your're running NCI through a aftermarket post,you should be able to load the generic machine def.. build your toolplanes and go to work. I'll see if I can track that file down in the morning.

I just programmed couple of jobs with a through spindle coolant driven head on a 5-axis. The machine is a cin V5 with a spindle you can clock to get normal to a MDD. The machine takes in account for tool gage and used curve 5-axis with the an offset from the MDD to rotate A and B. To clock the spindle I inserted a rotation, This can also be clocked at the pre-post level. My customer used Austin Nc's Cimpro and it allows me to insert exactly where I want.
