Haas TR160 trunnion 5 axis

[Iceman_one01]

Hey everyone,

We are programing a haas TR160 trunnion 5 axis.

Because of X clearance restriction in the trunnion getting the cutter around the left and right side of the part without cutting into the trunnion.

We tried to create a new view rotating the part A0 B90 so we get more room to cut the ends of the part.

The problem is WCS is A0 B0 and the post does not like to go A0 B90 or any other B ang in the A0 plane the logic probably thinks there is no need for that.

The only way we can get around it is to create a different A plane A1.0 B90.

Any ideas how to change and force the B axis to move?

Thank you!

Use the settings on your misc page to force rotaries to reverse.

I’m not sure how to use this options Misc Values in my tool path tree.

I changed a couple of them and made no difference in the G code A and B output.

Thank you!

Hey Guys,

Does anyone have a Machine trunnion model for a Haas TR160, for use in machine simulation?

The Basic one is much larger in X and does not give me the option to see if there would be any crashes.

I like to force every angle A and B from my machining views into the post G-code and machine simulation output.

Currently the Machine simulation B axis is not matching the G-code output.

Thank you!

Hey Iceman,

 

Do you have a MCX file you can put up here I am sure people would be happy to take a look at it to try to help you solve your B - Axis issue.

even if your machine models are for a bigger machine, you can set the X axis travel limits to match your machine.

That won't give you collision alarms, but it will output an over travel alarm which will be of some help

Have you tried changing Misc Values- Secondary axis to 2 ?

[Iceman_one01]

The misc changing to 2 made now difference, except if I'm missing something else?

Unfortunately we cannot release the mcx file since we signed a Nda.

Thank you for your help.

Hey iceman, can you draw up some type of example for me?

[Tom Matuszak from McCann Technical]

Iceman,

There is a model on the ftp under X5 files. If you cannot get it let me know. We have the same exact one at school and like others have said, we limit movement by using Misc Values
