Rotary Advanced in MC 2017 works the same way as in ModuleWorks ? anyone tried new toolpath on the cnc machine?

I found this in youtube

I don't see this listed on the download page. Is there one for X6?

Yes that is what I was talking about. Pretty wild to watch in person. The did the turn key and very impressive work they do. The OKK HM series machines can do this also. I had heard about doing this, but had never seen it. I have a good idea how to program it like we do with B Axis currently on Mill/Turns. Program for a Ball Endmill that is the size of the Radius of your lathe tool and then use Curve 5 Axis to make the code. Then use a switch in the post to turn it into a turning toolpath. See the same approach here as the SOFTTURN CYCLE is just that kind of code out of HYPERMILL. No dedicated programming process I saw just make code from something different and convert the code to do the work.

I think the problem is only in sync speed with feed

Looks identical to Okuma's TurnCut function. At my last gig we did some crazy stuff with it. And it is way cool to watch in person.

Yes, they look similar

Great! thanks for the help

Update  X8 post 

It's been over a year since posting this and I have received hardly any feedback. I just wanted to know if any of you out there have used or improved the macros and maybe what for. Thank You.

I use your face macro, thank you very much!

Does anyone uses automatic scanning tool in your NC programs? Who uses this option, it works properly? Does it make sense to edit your post processor to output the comments for automatic scanning?

Where are you trying to display it on?  What are you trying to accomplish?  Give us a little bit more context on what you're trying to do.  Are you just checking to make sure its doing the math right?  You can either unlock macros 1-33 so you can view it on the macro screen or just output #1 to a different area you can see.

 

#1=[COS[#3]]*[#2]

#100=#1

 

 

#3000 will alarm out and stop the program in its track.  Also, I believe it can only output whole integers as well.  Depending on what you want to do, this might or might not be what you want.  

I want to deduce the answer of the equation on the screen.

Hello! Question how to display the value of  variable on the screen?

#1=[COS[#3]]*[#2]

How to display the value #1 of  variable on the screen?

Albertzini,

 

It is the same thing as what was discussed before.  Do the math for first rotary axis and start from the resut to do the math for your second rotary axis.

Has anyone can help to create a macro to automatic calculation of fixture offsets  - B axis rotates around Y, C axis rotates around Z
