Hello!
I have an 5 axis CNC milling machine with limited rotating axes: the axis B (around Z) can rotating between 0 and 180 deg; the axis A (around Y) can -90 to 90 deg. I'm using a modified 'Generic Fanuc 5X Mill.pst' in Mastercam X7.
If doing a Flow mill on a cone's cloak then in the simulation the B axis will rotating 360 deg, but in the generated NC code the toolpaths is splited on 180 every 180 degs.
How can I set up Mastercam to pay respect to the machine limits when calculating toolpath? And why have to define the axes limits in many different places? (Machine Definition; Multiaxis Toolpath / Tool Axis Control; postprocessor)
