Because this machine has never been set up for 4th axis work like the and I’ve had great success modifying the post to get what I need . I havent had any luck using the MD all my rotations are the opposite direction or just wrong
I am setting up a post for a HMC and I want to break the rotations of B axis to limit it to 360 deg. I’m cutting a pocket substituting x axis but its winding 360 deg around. the post says to modify " pmotion_su" but I don’t know what to change. I’m not using the MD to set variables. thanks in advance
B -440 should read B- 80.104 and so on

I am machining slots around a 16" dia, im using curve with chain and all is great except the slots are not 360 deg around the part so when it transitions to the start point the tool follows it all the way through and cuts through the part the file is to large I know its the kinomatcis but I don't know how to adjust them
thanks
Mill man it is the add on for mx7 and bsemp I read that pdf but it dosent say anything about enabling it in mx7 and yes im just waiting for the code to be sent to me. we use cimquest new England formerly s4a
Hello,
I just got productivity + for a 2 week trial. First how do I enable it I down loaded it and installed it but in MX7 it says its not enabled? Second anyone have any good resources for learning it thanks
I have only noticed this with x7.. when I save a STL model from the verify and then bring it in to verify next op the STL model is very grainy?? is this normal for x7 now thanks
