5 axis secondary axis output problem


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I have been working with my customized 5 axis post for my Okuma (made one from Generic Haas VF-TR_Series 5X Mill), the 3+2 operations works fine but with one issue: I am changing the A axis positive meaning to negative - manually. I tried to set up my secondary axis output at miscellaneous values, setting it to post negative meaning but it also influence the C axis to positive! and other X and Y coordinates, which is not working for me.

Example without misc value set (that works with changing meanings manually):

Example with misc value set (does not working properly):

Maybe someone have any advises how to set up secondary axis properly to get negative axis output without changing other coordite values?

I will be thankful for any help!

You need to change the axis vector directions in the post.  Namely this area.

#Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms)
#With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane
rotaxis1$ = vecx  #Zerox      
rotdir1$  = vecy  #Directiony 

#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  #Zeroz     
rotdir2$  = vecy  #Directiony
