5 axis post problem when table is positioned horizontally

[KORLOY]

Hello post gurus!

I have a problem with my custom 5 axis post for 5axis table - table vertical Okuma in 3+2 mode. There is no problems when table is positioned (work zero) at A0, but when my table is rotated at -90 (and the work zero is setted up) the problem in angle positioning occurs. What post changes I have to made to solve it? I will be thankful you for any answers!!

Are you using CALL OO88?

It sounds like you aren't sure how to properly setup and program your 5 Axis machine. Most machines do not have the surface of the rotary platter at the center of rotation. So when you rotate the A Axis, the face of the platter moves in XYZ.

MU Series? I have a MU500 and had to dial my post to make it work with Fixture Offset (Call OO88) for 3+2.

From the picture it looks like the face is about 3 inches below the rotation point. 

I'm not sure if you said what the actual problem was. Is the position in y axis off?

You can either find and program from the center of rotation or I believe there is a spot in the post to set the offset for the center of rotation shift
