Hello everyone Tsugami HS20M-5AX Trying to make control definition Pic 1 Machine definition Pic 2 Upper turent left Machine axis combination Pic 3 Upper turent Right axis combination Pic 4 1. Look at 1 Pic , DO i added correcly Right spindle X axis? 2. Look at 1 pic, do i added Lathe B axis Arm and Lathe B Axis tool spindle? same at Right tools group 3. Look At pic 3 and 4, axis combinations i make correctly? 4. Look at pic 1, Tsugami (fanuc) 4x MT.pst does not have B axis support? 5. Can some one help me with post procesor making for this machine?

Hello, So I am running an Integrex and am making a custom grooving tool and want to cut the pink surfaces with a flat bottom em ( a true flat bottom ). Making the toolpath was easy and backplot and simulation show correct only the posted code is different. I know simulation doesn't read code. The first initial B rotation is B-15. and this is correct. All passes after are reversed so the C rotates 180° and starts the cut at the top. When it does this I overtravel when the head gets to the bottom. When it is B-15. and works bottom up, all is well. When i run the first pass on the machine it cuts perfectly. Is there a way I can prevent/force the post to keep all the passes the same? Looking at the picture with the pink surfaces shows that the toolpath is clean and no weird jerky moves. I am using multiaxis Curve using 3D Curves for the Curve Type and lines for the tool axis control. I did try using Misc Integer 4 which is the start solution + or -. When I changed this that is when I got it to post B-15. on the first pass only. So it worked but not on every pass. I also do get a rotary/tilt axis unwind message. It makes one pass just fine, why can't it do the others that are the same cut? What are your thoughts? Thanks for any assistance.
