Using MpMaster post for Fanuc vertical. If a make a toolpath in top view it doesn't rotate the rotary to A0.0, I want to add an A0.0 in to make sure it's where it is supposed to be. How do i do it??

In the toolpath parameters, go to Axis Control >>> Rotary Axis Control >>>>> click on Rotary axis positioning under Rotation Type.

 

 

Thanks that works....but I wish it would do it automatically somehow.

If you want it all the time, you could probably force it in the post to always output the A-axis rotation position.

Hi

If you want it to be done automatically inside the post look for this line to not have a pound sign (#) in front of it

pwrtt$      # Write tool table, scans entire file, null tools are negative
          if rotaxis$ > 0 | rotary_type$ > 0 | mill5$ <> 0,
            [
            sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
            output_z = no$
            ]
          if vmc = 0 & tlplnno$ <> 2, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
          if vmc = 1 & tlplnno$ > 1, sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x
          sav_rot_on_x = rot_on_x    #Uncomment this line to output rotary axis value even when it's not used     <<<---------      
          t$ = wbuf(4,wc4)        #Buffers out tool number values
          if tool_table = 1, ptooltable
          if tool_table = 2, ppredtool
          if tool_table = 3, pmetatool
          if t$ >= zero, tcnt = tcnt + one
          ptravel
          pwritbuf5

 

This should do the trick.
