Slot on C axis

Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm trying to do a slot on my multiaxis machine. its a trunnion type machine. C around Z and A around X. The post definition is under progress but i need to fill an order.

I have tried everything i could but still can't find a way around it. I have attached a mastercam file for the reference.

When i run the generated program, the C axis keeps turning. I don't know if i should put G43.4 (TCP) or not. Just afraid it might hit somewhere. I did try it however, just saw one funny move created by Z axis and then i stopped.

I do have license for 5 axis but i don't have a post yet. I posted this thread in Educational Forum by mistake before and it was deleted.

Please help.

You could use the 5 axis haas post. Will need to delete g187. G43.4 is for head head machines. Not needed here. 

I just made the program and used the haas post

the codes. I had to delete G93 and some other haas specific codes. and changed B axis to C. The machine is still doing the same thing. C axis still keeps rotating. Below are some sample codes. The codes seem right for what they are going to do but i don't know why C axis is taking 360 degrees turns. It clearly says from Y-1.0586 C-81.223 F300. goto Y-1.0495 C-81.032 F300.. but machine is like, nope that 360 for me....

DWO (G68.2) and TCP (G43.3) I assume?

I have always used G43.3 with Table-Table machines. How you access the 19700 center of rotation parameters.

I have no idea how to access 19700 center of rotation parameters. it's just like the quote "Japanese never makes anything easier". I tried going thru the programming manual and all it has is a bunch of drilling/tapping and some contouring.

I tried it.... It is still doing 360 turns... I followed your instructions and posted the program, I didn't see any difference in postcodes. Was I suppose to make those changes in HAAS machine definition or default Mastercam's machine def. I even tried putting 43.3 and G68.2(thanks to G codes you posted earlier, now I know where exactly these codes go). I didn't get any alarm, which means i have those codes available. but these 360 turns aren't getting old.

What has the dealer said about your post? Who is your dealer if you don't mind me asking? I can give them a call and help them get this sorted out.
