Reverse -A- axis direction

[Guess_who]

We just purchased another 5 axis machine and I am building a post for it using one of our other 5 axis machine post that has the same setup. The only difference is that the -A- axis is reversed. I have tried every combination of rotaxis and rotdir but the -A- axis always post out A-.  is there another section I should be looking at? Here's the secion I'm messing with. 

 

#Assign axis address
str_pri_axis : "B"
str_sec_axis : "A"
str_dum_axis : "C"

#Toolplane mapped to top angle position strings
str_n_a_axis : "A"
str_n_b_axis : "B"
str_n_c_axis : "C"

#Machine rotary routine settings
mtype        : 0     #Machine type (Define base and rotation plane below) 
                     #0 = Table/Table
                     #1 = Tilt Head/Table
                     #2 = Head/Head
                     #3 = Nutator Table/Table
                     #4 = Nutator Tilt Head/Table
                     #5 = Nutator Head/Head

head_is_sec  : 1     #Set with mtype 1 and 4 to indicate head is on secondary

#Preferred setup is pri. zero matches sec. zero/direction
#Zero machine and determine the planes perp. to axis rotations
#These plane combinations are valid:
#Primary plane   XY   XZ   YZ
#Secondary or    XZ   XY   XY
#Secondary       YZ   YZ   XZ

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

#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  #Zero        +z
rotdir2$  = vecy  #Direction   was +y

#NOTE: Use of 'top_map' requires the dealer match the
#      above settings below.  These must match initial settings!!!
p_nut_restore    #Postblock, restores original axis settings 
      result = updgbl(rotaxis1$, "-vecy")#Zero was +y
      result = updgbl(rotdir1$, "vecx")#Direction was -x
      result = updgbl(rotaxis2$, "vecz")#Zero  was +z
      result = updgbl(rotdir2$, "vecY")#Direction was -x
 

 

Thanks

Do you have the old 5 Axis Documentation for adjusting the Generic 5 Axis post?

[Guess_who]

I figured it out. I ended up emailing our rep, and as soon as he said 'what's your -A- limits set to?"  I realized I never opened up the limit to allow a +A.

Now I feel dumb. LOL

Thanks for the help. 

And Millman, no I don't believe I have that documentation.

Ok, sent you an email. 

Thanks again for the help.
