Tool Angle Settings....

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I have a B axis head and I need to have the B axis at +45° for turning and when I adjust the Tool Angle I have to set it to -45°. I tried to adjust the machine definition, the machine configuration section of the B axis to counter clockwise hoping it would adjust the rotation but it doesn't. Is that the correct setting to adjust to fix this?

Any help is much appreciated.

Greg

IHS_Mazak_Integrex_J_Series_Matrix.mcam-lmd  and IHS_Mazak_Integrex_J_Series_Matrix.pst

It's a Mazak J400 Integrex and when I rough turn and finish my B axis is on a +45 but it post out -45.

It's getting that value from Mastercam's tool field but if I put it to +45 the toolpath shows a crash cause the tool faces the wrong direction.

I though my machine def is set wrong but the changes I made to the b axis don't seem to have an effect.

Up to this point I just been modifying the program after I post and I don't want to any more.

Greg,

Will setting the tool as Horizontal +45 give you the results your after?
