X & Y coordinates problem with generic fanuc 5x post

[beginner1977]

Hello everyone,

 

I need help with generic fanuc 5x post processor.

 

I am trying to post a contour toolpath having "Left Side" as TPlane (G55 origin defined) and "Top" as WCS.

 

This is the results:

 

..................

N41 T1 M6

N51 G0 G55 G90 X15. Y5. A-90. C-90. S4000 M3

N61 G43 H1 Z50.

N71 M88

N81 Z10.

N91 G1 Z0. F800.

N101 G41 D1 X10. F1500.

N111 G3 X5. Y0. J-5. F150.

N121 G1 Y-40. F1500.

........................

 

I would like having both rotations A and C positive in CW direction so it should be C equal to +90 and not -90.

 

Also what is posted as "X" coordinates should be "Y" coordinates and vice versa (i.e. the coordinates x and y should be the same as those corresponding to "Left Side" TPlane.

 

Some help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot.

Is there anyone who could explain me the meaning of rotaxis1-2$ and rotdir1-1$?

 

In case of rotary table A (rotation about X) and C (rotation about Z) how I have to setup the parameters aforementioned?

 

Note: X, Y and Z is in the machine base coordinate system.

 

Thanks for reply.

For example:

 

"A" rotary axis (primary axis , "X" axis of rotation)

 

rotaxis1$ = vecy #Zero axis

 

rotdir1$ = vecx #direction of rotation

 

 

"C" rotary axis (secondary axis, "Z" axis of rotation)

 

rotaxis2$ = vecx #Zero axis

 

rotdir2$ = vecz #direction of rotation

 

 

Are above setups right?
