So WCS stays Center of Rotation but you can then set a Top T/C Plane on the part?
How is this Handled on the Machine?
It's been a long time since I ran and programmed for a Horizontal and I have a new Mori NHX arriving next month.
The centre of pallet rotation would be hard wired into the machine is that G54?
Then if I set a T/C plane on the part what would the G5? be in the posted code?
Any chance you could send me a Horizontal file to see how you go about it?
Thank you
Correct me if I'm wrong but say I set my WCS to Center of the pallet rotation and I face the part as it sits in Mastercam. Say it might be Z350.
Then if the Billet was a little short in its height and the billet did not face, wouldn't I have to re-program everything again in Mastercam?
My concern is second OP's where I might have to set a WCS off a machined feature from OP1.
My Other Question is to Get B0 are you using Front or Top T/C Plane?
Thank you.
Do you use TOP WCS and Front T/C Plane for B0?
Do you leave your WCS at the Centre of rotation of the B-axis?
I just bought a Mori NHX 4000 with G68.2 so I can set my WCS anywhere.
The Machine Sim reads the G91 G28 Z0. at the end of NC file but not during cutting.

The code is good it has a G28 Z0, Before the B axis rotation.

How do I get the machine Sim to read the Z Home move?
Hi guys when using the MP Master Horizontal post is there a way to get the z axis to home before each B axis rotation?
Like when I use my 5-axis posts the Z axis will retract to home position before a 3+2 move.
Also what does the Misc Integer # 4 (Safe Index) do?
Thank you.
I have a UMC 750 SS and the first machine delivered was taken back as it was not accurate and covered in rust. The second machine has had th spindle replaced, Z axis ball screw replaced, the transformer replaced, the B and C axis clamping updated, the air conditioner in the electrical cabinet replaced. I will never buy another HAAS. The next 5-axis I bought was DMG MORI DMU 50 and it's amazing.
Hi guys I'm playing with MPMASTER for a Horizontal and I noticed that if I post toolpaths programmed with Font T/C plane I don't get a B0 in the posted code.
If I translate rotate the front toolpath 90 I then get a B0 and B90 output in the code. Why is there no B0 if I just toolpath using the Front T/C Plane?
Thank you
Hi guys it's been about 12 years since I programmed a Horizontal. I am looking at a Mori NHX 4000. I'm currently looking at programming some exsisting parts I run on my DMU 50 onto the Mori Horizontal.
I have downloaded the MPMASTER which uses Top WCS and Front T/C Plane for B0. Which is how I used to program a Horizontal. Is this still the preferred method?
My reseller gave me a Machine sim for the Mori Horizontal but it uses Top for B0.
Is there a way I can change the Machine sim Machine so I can test it with the MPMASTER an the way the post works with front at B0?
I can't currently run Machine sim because of the conflict between the post using Front for B0 and the machine sim wanting B0 to be Top.
If I use the generic Horizontal Machine sim supplied with Mastercam it all works. But I want to make sure everything for the Mori will be OK before I purchase it.
Thank you.
