Translating toolpath with B axis output ADVANCED

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello all professional programmers. I need to nice job and I am trying program surface. I am using 5 axis Haas machine. I move my A axis (along X axis) 30 deg and create plane and toolpath.

 

Now I need repeat my detail 5 times by moving B axis 60 degree each time.

 

I know long way of doing this thing: by creating 5 additional planes. But this way is long and labour intensive....

 

 

 

Is there and easy way of having a control on B axis and duplicate it or rotate another 5 times??

(i dont know maybe by options

Right click in operation manager ---- Mill toolpaths ---- Transform ???

 

Can somebody look into file and try do it ??

In enclosure challenge.

 

 

 

Thank You !!

 

 

 

What I would like get is :

Start at the top toolplane, rotate the plane about the X axis 30 degrees, apply the Finish toolpoath.

 

Return to the top toolplane, rotate the plane about the Z axis 60 degrees, now rotate the plane you just made

30 degrees about the X axis, apply toolpath to 2nd spoke.. repeat for remainder of spokes.

I used the 3 axis blend toolpath.
