need help on Haas TR-160Y Trunnion Table

[MSL]

Hi,

Can someone help me with the changes in the post and machine def. for a Haas TR-160Y Trunnion Table? I can not make it work right.

I'm using the generic Haas TR series post that comes with Mastercam.

Using X6MU2

Thanks in advance.

Here is some of the areas in the post you might need to see.

 

# 5 Axis Rotary Settings

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Assign axis address

str_sec_axis : "A"

str_dum_axis : "C"

 

#Toolplane mapped to top angle position strings

str_n_b_axis : "A"

str_n_c_axis : "C"

 

#Machine rotary routine settings

#4 = Nutator Tilt Head/Table

#5 = Nutator Head/Head

 

 

 

 

head_is_sec : 1 #Set with mtype 1 and 4 to indicate head is on secondary

 

#Preferred setup is pri. zero matches sec. zero/direction

#Zero machine and determine the planes perp. to axis rotations

#These plane combinations are valid:

#Primary plane XY XZ YZ

#Secondary or XZ XY XY

#Secondary YZ YZ XZ

 

#Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms)

#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane

rotaxis1$ = vecy #Zero

rotdir1$ = -vecx #Direction

 

#Secondary axis angle description (in machine base terms)

#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis and this plane normal

#are aligned to calculate the secondary angle

rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero

rotdir2$ = vecx #Direction # Changed from (vecy) to (vecx) 09/26/12

 

#NOTE: Use of 'top_map' requires the dealer match the

# above settings below. These must match initial settings!!!

p_nut_restore #Postblock, restores original axis settings

result = updgbl(rotaxis1$, "vecy") #Zero

result = updgbl(rotdir1$, "-vecx") #Direction

result = updgbl(rotaxis2$, "vecz") #Zero

result = updgbl(rotdir2$, "vecy") #Direction

Ara you are telling us what the issues are. I have used this post many time and worked well. what is the issues are having?

Hi.

The generic Haas TR series post that comes with Mastercam made for Haas Trunnion that sits along the X axis. The one I'm working on, sits along Y axis. First I changed This.(rotdir2$ = vecx #Direction Changed from (vecy) to (vecx) 09/26/12 ).

There is a hole at B-90. And A0. but the post, post out a positive B and A-90.

My pack plot and verify is not right either. When I verify my part instead of show my part on –x side, it shows on +Y quarter of screen.

Thanks.

Check out the primary and secondary axis angle discription line above.

I don't always trust what I see in backplot when doing multiaxis toolpaths. I would look at your code and see if this gets you what you're looking for.

This works for me. But I only have mine setup to rotate from A10. to A-90.

Hi Oscar,

I did the changes, when I’m doing a simultaneous cut, it posts out good. But on drilling ops giving me a wrong B axis sign, ( all me B axis should be negative). I’ll work on it see what is the problem.

Thanks for your help.
