Still can't post out B-Axis movements only A-Axis. Is there something i can add to the post to accomplish this?

I'm using version 9.1. I've already switched it to horizontal but still doesn't work. Here's what i have in that section of the post proc. # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Rotary Axis Settings # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- vmc : 0 #0 = Horizontal Machine, 1 = Vertical Mill rot_on_x : 2 #Default Rotary Axis Orientation, See ques. 164. #0 = Off, 1 = About X, 2 = About Y, 3 = About Z rot_ccw_pos : 1 #Axis signed dir, 0 = CW positive, 1 = CCW positive index : 0 #Use index positioning, 0 = Full Rotary, 1 = Index only ctable : 5 #Degrees for each index step with indexing spindle use_frinv : 0 #Use Inverse Time Feedrates in 4 Axis, (0 = no, 1 = no ) maxfrdeg : 2000 #Limit for feed in deg/min maxfrinv : 999.99#Limit for feed inverse time frc_cinit : 1 #Force C axis reset at toolchange ctol : 225 #Tolerance in deg. before rev flag changes ixtol : .01 #Tolerance in deg. for index error frdegstp : 10 #Step limit for rotary feed in deg/min

Thanks for all the help guys. As a matter of fact it is a 16i-MB Fanuc control Lars, could you tell me more about the G10 offsets. Also when i post out programs it outputs with A-Axis but i need B-Axis how do i change that in the mastercam post processor?

Can anyone share some example MCAM9 Horizontal mill projects. I've ran VMC's for a long time and we just got in a horizontal. Never programmed one before just wanted to see how other do it and take notes. Also what do you recommend for drilling a 1/4 Dia. 12" deep blind hole in S-7 for a VMC. Thanks for any help

thanks danbo that's what i was lookin for.

ok the file is finally uploaded mc9 folder and it's called obround.mc9

internet explorer 7 ---ftp keeps asking for a user name and password [ 11-08-2007, 06:37 PM: Message edited by: metalmilita ]

It's a 3-D toolpath and I can't get it to ramp.

Sorry v9.1 and i can't view the ftp in my windows explorer to upload.

Okay I need some help. I'm tryin to cut an 7" long obround shape in a okuma c-axis lathe, no y axis. I can make one cut using c-axis contour, but I want to spiral down the whole 7" without the endmill coming off the part. I tried using mill surface flowling using a spiral cutting method but it doesn't look right. Thanks,

sorry double post

Access code file not found.?????? Using- Verisurf_Pointcloud_91R28.05.exe Installed to C:MC9 folder is that correct?
