Thank you MSL - Thats works !!!!

Hello I tried follow step by step your description and almost everything is working, apart from B axis. Our Trunion is located on right side (Just for your informations I limit axis to limit A axis as below: #Set the absolute angles for axis travel on secondary sec_limlo$ : -30 sec_limhi$ : 120 #Set intermediate angle, in limits, for post to reposition machine sec_intlo$ : -30 sec_inthi$ : 120 ) All movements on X, Y, Z, A look fine But B axis is wrong. In example we must change: ( b AXIS IS 90 DEGREE OUT) B-90 to B180 or B-180. Which variables I need to change to get this output ? Could You help? This is part of out 5 axis post: # 5 Axis Rotary Settings # -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #Assign axis address str_pri_axis : "B" str_sec_axis : "A" str_dum_axis : "C" #Toolplane mapped to top angle position strings str_n_a_axis : "B" str_n_b_axis : "A" str_n_c_axis : "C" #Machine rotary routine settings mtype : 0 #Machine type (Define base and rotation plane below) #0 = Table/Table #1 = Tilt Head/Table #2 = Head/Head #3 = Nutator Table/Table #4 = Nutator Tilt Head/Table #5 = Nutator Head/Head head_is_sec : 1 #Set with mtype 1 and 4 to indicate head is on secondary #Preferred setup is pri. zero matches sec. zero/direction #Zero machine and determine the planes perp. to axis rotations #These plane combinations are valid: #Primary plane XY XZ YZ #Secondary or XZ XY XY #Secondary YZ YZ XZ #Primary axis angle description (in machine base terms) #With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis must be the XY plane rotaxis1$ = vecy #Zero rotdir1$ = -vecx #Direction (originally -vecx ) #Secondary axis angle description (in machine base terms) #With nutating (mtype 3-5) the nutating axis and this plane normal #are aligned to calculate the secondary angle rotaxis2$ = vecz #Zero rotdir2$ = vecx #Direction (originally vecy) # this value is responsible for x 03.09.2013 #NOTE: Use of 'top_map' requires the dealer match the # above settings below.

Hi I spend long time with development of this postprocessor in my machine shop. We have 3 - 4 axis postprocessor for VF1, VF2, VF3, VF4 full 5 axis VF3 TR210 full 5 axis VF3 TR160 In my post I customize all cycles and comments On the start output look like this : Machine never alarm and you have informations about Tool Name, Diameter, H value, D Value etc- Working like a dream !!! Try customize your post to get output like this : No alarm at all and you will have all data needed. If not get in touch will try help you. Have hope that will help. (DATE=DD-MM-YY - 16-09-13 TIME=HH:MM - 23:08) (MATERIAL - ALUMINUM INCH - 2024) (TOOL LIST:) (T22|H22|D22|.750 E.MILL 3 FLUTES 2.0 LONG ) (XY STOCK 0.|Z STOCK 0.)

Hello all professional programmers. I need to nice job and I am trying program surface. I am using 5 axis Haas machine. I move my A axis (along X axis) 30 deg and create plane and toolpath. Now I need repeat my detail 5 times by moving B axis 60 degree each time. I know long way of doing this thing: by creating 5 additional planes. But this way is long and labour intensive.... Is there and easy way of having a control on B axis and duplicate it or rotate another 5 times?? (i dont know maybe by options Right click in operation manager ---- Mill toolpaths ---- Transform ??? Can somebody look into file and try do it ?? In enclosure challenge. Thank You !! What I would like get is : N130 M11 N140 M13 N150 M56 N160 T39 M6 (4.0 VRX BN ER16-100 35MM OUT |T39|D39|H39|DIAM 4.)

I am working on this machine since 1 year, configurate and change post myself - 100% fully working post Let me know by email [email protected] if u will need post or any help

Hello everybody !!! Does enybody have samples programs from controler Heindehain TNC530 Written in ISO code?? Especially I am interesting with 5 axis code, I will be happy with indexing, sampleas and drilling cycles etc. Did anybody use ISO on heidenhain ?? Is it usefull?? Is it very similiar to Fanuc ?? What is your experience with this option?? Thanks for any repply

Could you email me this file ? for amstercam x6 version. Thanks [email protected]

Hello all Mastercam Users I would like ask u guys If is possible in Mastercam to covert STL file into something useble?? I mean surfaces curves or solid? Is there a option in mastercam to do it? In enclosere u can find file - wchich is plate - saved in stl I tried export that and import and would like get some data from it- for future information and programming, such as curves points, wireframe etc... I found there is an option in user ap - "create boundary" but that is giving boundary only on top..... Is it possible to do it in Mastercam?? Regards segama HOW TO MAKE SURFACES FROM STL.MCX-6
