5 axis not working

[Robert Ouellette]

I started working on a new part this morning and my post is not working right. I have some holes to helix bore and then drill on compound angles. I create a new plane, name it for each hole, and then I helix bore each hole on that plane. like I have been doing for 3 years now. when I post it out I get the first hole no problem. when it moves to second and third and so forth, it does not rapid to new angle. it unlocks, move about 1 degree, then locks, and then unlocks and moves another degree, and so on till it gets to next position, then does helix, then repeats. I never had that happen before X7. this is the first 5 axis program I am making since switching to X7. I am using the default Haas vf-tr 5 axis trunnion post that comes with X7. I have been using that post since X4 when we got the machine. it has always been ok for us.

 

what am I doing wrong or is there a setting in post or control def I need to change to make it work. or do I need to call and buy a new post/

 

Thanks in advance

Something is causing it to feed the rapid moves

Make sure Rapid Retract is checked in you toolpaths

rapid retract is turned on on all ops.

you need to change the line in your post;

 

brk_max_ang 1 is the default,, Change to to 90
