I think your vectors are wrong.

try this:

 

rotaxis1$ = vecx #Zero

 

rotdir1$ = vecy #Direction

 

 

 

Thank you MSL -

Thats works !!!!

If you are using the Generic Haas TR Post, do not try and change anything in the Machine Definition. It has no effect on the TR post.

 

All of our Generic 5X Posts must be configured in the PST file itself. You will need to change the setting of the 'rotdir2$' variable. 'rotaxis' and 'rotdir' use vectors to establish the axis of rotation and the rotary zero direction. These vectors are always perpendicular to the rotary axis.

 

For the TR post, try setting 'rotdir2$' to either 'vecx' or '-vecx'. That should change the secondary rotary axis to rotate about Y.

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:

Hello,

 

Does any body have this problem and know how to fix it. When we load our programs into the control we get a missing " ) " error because the comment is to long and the control moves what is remaining to a new line leaving the starting line with out an " ) " at the end of the line causing the error. Is there a way to limit the number of characters per line in the post?

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.

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 !!

ROTARY B AXIS INDEXING WITH SURFACES.MCX-6

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

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
