5-axis posting Error?

[ujmujm]

I did a Swarf machining tool path and when I post it out I get this error (see attached jpeg.) any body ever seen this Op:1 limit error.

Is there a reason why your plane isn't Top too?

Funny story  I am helping a co-worker with his part the pocket is not coming out so good so I told him I would give it a shot the part starts out at B,0 C,0 and rotates to B180. C49.532 to do the pocket.

Thanks JP I changed all my planes to the same (plane) and now its posting out, I'm self taught at Mastercam I could really use a 5-axis class, what is your opinion on the materials you can purchase from this website.

oops actually that did not work my B axis posted out at B,0 it needs to be B180.

Look at your misc ints.....you can change it to the secondary solution

If you post out using CAMplete it won't matter what those Misc. Int/Reals are...

Just for kicks I posted it out in CAMplete and it posted fine, I wonder if this purchased post only supports rotational 5-axis and not full 5-axis is that possible? This post was purchased from Cimquest for a DMG Mori.

No, it'll support 5 axis...you just need to learn how to use it....

Call them in the morning.....see if you can talk to Mike Sljaka....I worked with him there for 5+ years, good guy

You're WAY better off using CAMplete to post for the Matsuura. You'll get the 5-Axis functionality like 3D Tool Comp, TWP and TCP.

Unfortunately this part is running on DMG Mori DMU-70 so I have to use the Cimquest post.
