Hello,
I am attempting to make my own 5 axis post off of a Generic Fanuc 5X Mill. I have a problem with the B and C rotations, they are backwards; the coordinate shown by B should be C's and C's should be B's. My TPlane is currently the FRONT and my WCS the TOP, I should be getting B0. C0. at the time. I tried changing the machine definition but apparently that doesn't work. The C axis Rotary table is looking to the X- direction and A0 would be the same as B0; the FRONT plane right ?
T1 M6
M8
G0 G54 G90 X3.0163 Y9.8092 C180. B-90. S534 M3 -------> Should be B0. C0.
G43 H1 Z5.
Z3.1
G1 Z3.05 F8.56
I tried changing the rotaxis1$/rotdir1$, rotaxis2$/rotdir2$ but I keep getting the wrong rotation or when rotation seems fine I get the spind_align error when posting.
