New X6 MU2 bug

[Teh Bear without Brains kinda idiot]

Please verify the bug- rotary axis positioning or 3 axis rotate around Z

not working for simple toolpathes like contour or drill .

No backplot and code

Was working good in X4 and X5 .

Loosing some damn important functionality

 

 

Best regards

[gcode]

can you share a file

[RaiderX]

Just did a side by verification of my horizontal posted nc code yesterday and all rotary positions were there.

+1 example

very important we sort this out.

 

am using modified mpmaster pst

+2 share example.

It can be any machine 5 axes VMC table-table and all rotary around Z axis

You need to post up a sample file. It is hard to understand your issue.

 

I've run rotary axis positioning in X6 MU2 and it works fine.

[K2csq7]

Rotating about Z with a 5x MD will not give you rotary moves, only X,Y locations.

 

"no backplot/no code"

 

^^^ that's odd...

[Guest CNC Apps Guy 1]

Spent the last week running and programming a Matsuura CUBLEX-35 with positioning, (3+1 and 3+2)

3 axis, simultaneous 4 and simultaneous 5 all in the same partwith no problems whatsoever.

More than likely your post needs a tune up. I ran into this problem with a trunion and limited tool clearance. Had the post tweeked for option to output rotate around Z instead of X,Y contour moves

May be you r right

BUt why MCX5 and MCX4 do this with no problem

At least I mean the backplot rotates the part and all

 

James simultaneous machining is not a problem

I mean rotary axis positioning or 3 axis rotate around Z

Make simple drill operation enterrotary axis control page and select

rotary axis positioning rotate around Z

if your 5 axis Table-table machine limits are different say X is big and y is small than you can use C instead of y - am I right ?

Therefore you need to switch on rotary axis control

You need to use a 4ax post to get the code you're looking for.... if I understand you correctly...

[Teh Bear without Brains kinda idiot]

Why I can not use axis C for programming in 5 axis post ?

Substitute Y for C ?

[K2csq7]

There are an infinite number of positions for X, Y, & C to locate to and still drill the holes.... There is no way to tell a (stock) 5ax post where you want to "lock" the Y axis...

I have been through this.

I am sure there is something that could be done to a 5ax post to make this work, but AFAIK stock 5ax posts wont do it.

 

Use a Mpmaster 4ax and you will get the code you want.... Adjustment to MD rotary zero position may be needed if it doesn't put X & Y where you want them to be. (i.e. X+, X-, Y+, Y-)

 

:edit:

You say this worked in X4 & X5 (never did for me).... maybe your post DID have something put in it... was the post updated?? Maybe some of the custom edits got hosed during updating....

Alex,

 

Is the thread below similar or the same as the issues you are experiencing?

I had just gone thru the same issues. trying to use 5 axis drill on a Horz and out put as a 4th around the Z. for it to output correct you needed a post like the Matsuura post James that had support for 5axis out put then it would code right,

[mayday]

Alex, did you get it figured out? A few things changed in X6 that the posts need an update. At least mine did

[shazam/TPP]

if you use cimco you can also do a side by side comparison of your post to see what may have changed. i know the mpmaster is slightly different in X6 than X5. i just tweaked my X6 mpmaster to post out like X5. hth

with a file open in Mastwercam if I do a file new Mastercam will crash!!!!!!!!!!!
