note to self...
scase_tr_c_2 : "10110012.000000000" #Top turret/Right spindle, Left Face cut
3rd binary digit from left is column "C" ...(.# C - Plane 0 arc/comp, 0 = normal, 1 = switch)
looks like it's switched to 1. I'll switch it to 0 tomorrow morning and see what happens.
Well, got that taken care of....next is to get it to post G41 like it should. I have the tool offset set correct going around the outside profile, caxis rotating CCW, tool "left" but the code comes out with G42.
Looks like I have some more tweaking to do
I found it!!! It was in the pcout function. variable stra variable.
in the "else" section....result=nwards(stra, cout_a)
if millcc & g112address=0, ...stry, cabs
if millcc & g112address=1, ...stra, cabs..........this one
thanks, guys for your help!!!
Yep, that's there and it is labeled "C" correctly. All I can figure is that it's getting bad info from the MD, even though everything is defined as "C".....It's probably not reading the MD parameters correctly.
I have looked all through the post (MPLMASTER) and there's nothing obvious that would assign "A" to rotary axis....maybe I'm overlooking something but I have searched over again and again.
Does anyone have any input as to why on a caxis face contour it would post 'A' for my rotary axis instead of 'C' for my C axis sub-spindle? I have the machine component property set correctly for 'C'. On the main side it is correct, just sub is wrong.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
