Right angle head programming


msg

Recommended Posts

Hello gentlemen,

I need some tips on how to program the internal slots on this part, I need first rough out the slots then come back and finish them very accurately. The slot width parallelism needs to held within .0003". I currently program them manually now but it becomes challenging when the slots are not linear. We are machining them on a haas with a trt210 trunnion.  Will I need a special post processor made? 

Thanks.

Yes you will need a post if doing this on a 5 Axis machine. Reach out to your dealer. Biggest thing will be what direction do you face your right angle head when setup? X+ or X- or Y+ or Y- or is it a custom angle?

Ok thanks, I have a call out to them. As of now I am trying to figure out how to define an aggregate head in mastercam.
