  1. This part is a gearbox for a winch. this is a horz machine, which we can unload and Load 7 different various accessories. And have a tool magazine whit 170 seats. We have one who has made a post processor for us but he says that there must be something wrong with the parameters of the angular head. it changes -X to +X when we go from milling to drilling when we use the same angels We can change the post, so it's right but we want that we can program this manually to, as we were told when we had 1 day training on the machine, and the manu was that we should just write Tool_Holder (0,0) and our angles, and then should it change X,Y,Z by itself We have contacted the seller, but is pretty poor service from them. We have 2 different angle heads 1 with C axis, and 1 with a C and A axis "Tool_holder(C,A)" only C axis C and A axis
  2. Hi I am new to the forum here We have purchased a new machine FRAL400 a milling machine, that we have problem with the angle head.. Control we use is simens840D and we use Mastercam X3 I have an X-axis 22000mm on the y-axis 5000mm We have a problem with our angle head, angle head has a C axis that rotates 360 degrees, when we work in the 0 degrees stays the milling head vertical down,Then we can use this program to mill the contour N10 LOAD_TABR N20 T="390125FRES" N30 L06 N40 G17 G54 G64 G90 N50 Z1700 N50 TOOL_HOLDER(0,0) N60 TOROT N70 G54 N80 F5000 N90 S500 M03 N100 G0 Z1925 N110 G0 Y60.5 X-80.208 N120 G0 Z1720 N130 G1 Z1700 N140 G1 X-42.708 N150 G1 X372.5 N160 G1 Y-60.5 N170 G1 X-42.708 N180 G1 X-80.208 N190 G0 Z1925 N200 M5 N210 ROT N220 M0 but when we turn our head 45 degrees, we must replace the x axis with the y axis so then we must create new programs to the next angle though the contour is the same then we have to program like this N230 TOOL_HOLDER(45,0) N240 TOROT N250 G54 N260 F1000 N270 S500 M03 N280 G0 Z1925 N290 G0 X60.5 Y-80.208 N300 S500 M03 N310 G0 Z1720 N320 G1 Z1700 N330 G1 Y-42.708 N340 G1 Y372.5 N350 G1 X-60.5 N360 G1 Y-42.708 N370 G1 Y-80.208 N380 G0 Z1925 N390 G0 Y-200 N400 ROT N410 M5 but when we post out, the mastercam X3 using the same contour on all axes like this N10 LOAD_TABR N20 T="390125FRES" N30 L06 N40 G17 G54 G64 G90 N50 Z1700 N50 TOOL_HOLDER(0,0) N60 TOROT N70 G54 N80 F5000 N90 S500 M03 N100 G0 Z1925 N110 G0 X60.5 Y-80.208 N120 G0 Z1720 N130 G1 Z1700 N140 G1 Y-42.708 N150 G1 Y372.5 N160 G1 X-60.5 N170 G1 Y-42.708 N180 G1 Y-80.208 N190 G0 Z1925 N200 M5 N210 ROT N220 M0 N230 TOOL_HOLDER(45,0) N240 TOROT N250 G54 N260 F5000 N270 S500 M03 N280 G0 Z1925 N290 G0 X60.5 Y-80.208 N300 G0 Z1720 N310 G1 Z1700 N320 G1 Y-42.708 N330 G1 Y372.5 N340 G1 X-60.5 N350 G1 Y-42.708 N360 G1 Y-80.208 N370 G0 Z1925 N380 M5 N390 ROT N400 M0 N410 M2 CONTOUR GEARBOX Does anyone have experience with an angle head, or been in the same situation that can help me with this ?
