Good morning,

i have a project at work they want me to run on a 4 axis ( VF 4SS ). its shaped almost like half a cylinder and im using the 5 axis flow option to machine it. i have set the output format to 4 axis and when it generates the post it starts off with A20.557 , which is exactly where i want it but when its ending the machining i noticed that the A reached up to A-1539.702 , which is absolutely wrong. my question is how do i get to make the post to have the limit of A-100. to A100, without the A axis rotating over its limit.

Thank you for the help.

thank you. appreciate the help

alright sounds good i will try to create that toolpath. by the way, is there an actual way to create depth cuts on finish without having to copy the previous operation?

Good morning,

im working on a part that has unique angles, making it tough to get a bull mill to cut in a single pass. I'm trying to figure out how can i make depth cuts using the surface finish flowline. Appreciate your help and happy holidays.

Where would i be able to find the meaning of each "M" code for a Cronus 5-axis?

i had the code M231 and M232 on my program, but dont know the significance of either one.

thank you for your help.

i replaced the M99 with the M02 and it did not work. any other suggestion?

good morning everyone,

i am programming an Ares 5 axes machine and im wondering what code do i need to apply at the end of my post in order to keep the program going, in other words looping?

this here is the ending of the post

G1 Y16.3867 Z9.3146

G00 Y14.7205 Z8.93

what code should i add and where?

thank you

it helped a lot thank you. does anyone know if theres any books for further details or explanations? for the post how do i get a small subprogram to run to actual program or do i just run the post just as how it gives it to me?

thank you for taking some of your personal time to help me.

here is the part i am programming. i have it one of the 4 faces of the tombstone but when i run all four faces i make a 4 post one for each of the G54-G57 homes. at the end i edit the programs and try to compact them into one program but the problem is that its a really long program. is there any advice you can give me in order to make the subprogram in order to make a smaller program but efficient as well.

thanks a lot.

good afternoon everyone,

I'm programming a HAAS VF 4SS but I'm fairly new at doing 4 axis. i have a fellow co-worker that also programs 4 axis but he tends to use subprograms, i tried asking for advice on how it is done but doesn't seem like he wants to cooperate. I'm wondering how could i make subprograms or where would i be able to learn more about it?
