Fagor post assistance


Recommended Posts

So our company has several DMS machines with Fagor 8055 controllers, and fairly recently we received a Quintax machine with a Fagor 8055 controller from one of our other facilities, so the issue I am running into is setting C-Axis limits for this machine.  I understood how to set the limits for the C-axis this way:

#Rotary axis travel limits, always in terms of normal angle output
#Set the absolute angles for axis travel on primary
pri_limlo$   :   -94.91
pri_limhi$   : 364.91

 

I am needing to set up an unwind when the machine needs to rotate the C-axis, and give a clearance height for the retract as it may need to do in the middle of a cut.  Would I do it in this section?:  

#Force rotary axis reset at toolchange and other options
frc_cinit   : 1
typ3_brk_evn : 0    #Windup limit, use even revolution break position
                    #Primary and/or secondary

 

Or would I need to set it up in any of the sections here:


p_safe_z        #Safe Z retract move with reposition, see mr6
      if safe_z_ret,
        [
        gcode$ = zero
        za = safe_z_ret
        p_goto_pos
        ]

mr6 - Absolute Safe height in Z for unwinds and toolchanges
#       (limits must be enabled and mi8, see 'use_stck_typ')
#       (set the limits to zero to ignore limits and use this safe height)
#       0 = Off

#When the tool repositions, an intersection is made to the limits and the
#tool is driven around the limits to the reposition point as required.
#Z upper limit is used as the safe transition boundary
#Linear limits relative to machine base coordinates / part origin
use_stck_typ : 0      #0=Off, 1=Stock def., 2=Limits

I am just trying to figure it out.  Thank you!
