So our company has several DMS machines with Fagor 8055 controllers, and fairly recently we received a Quintax machine with a Fagor 8055 controller from one of our other facilities, so the issue I am running into is setting C-Axis limits for this machine. I understood how to set the limits for the C-axis this way: #Rotary axis travel limits, always in terms of normal angle output #Set the absolute angles for axis travel on primary pri_limlo$ : -94.91 pri_limhi$ : 364.91 I am needing to set up an unwind when the machine needs to rotate the C-axis, and give a clearance height for the retract as it may need to do in the middle of a cut. Would I do it in this section?: #Force rotary axis reset at toolchange and other options frc_cinit : 1 typ3_brk_evn : 0 #Windup limit, use even revolution break position #Primary and/or secondary Or would I need to set it up in any of the sections here: p_safe_z #Safe Z retract move with reposition, see mr6 if safe_z_ret, [ gcode$ = zero za = safe_z_ret p_goto_pos ] mr6 - Absolute Safe height in Z for unwinds and toolchanges # (limits must be enabled and mi8, see 'use_stck_typ') # (set the limits to zero to ignore limits and use this safe height) # 0 = Off #When the tool repositions, an intersection is made to the limits and the #tool is driven around the limits to the reposition point as required. #Z upper limit is used as the safe transition boundary #Linear limits relative to machine base coordinates / part origin use_stck_typ : 0 #0=Off, 1=Stock def., 2=Limits I am just trying to figure it out. Thank you!
