Multiaxis Upgrade

[BrianCNC]

To fully utilize the 4-axis capabilities of a Mori NL3000 with Y axis (single spindle) you would need the Multiaxis license, correct? I have used axis substitution with the tool on Y0, but do not see how you can control all 4 axis with the tool not on Y0 without the Multiaxis upgrade.

 

Just want to be sure I am not missing anything before turning in a software request for the upgrade.

 

Thanks

Depending on the type of path your attempting, it may just be a post issue

Oh, let's a milling an offset od like a crankshaft journal, or milling an L shaped slot on the od of a tube where you need the walls parallel to each other.--I actually did the slot with axis sub and then a contour toolpath using the Y axis to straighten the walls out, but I think you would need to have multiaxis to do it all in one toolpath.
