Hello, can somebody help me to limit my C axis toolpath to be in the interval of 0 and 360? Thanks

Hello, Does anyone have experience running a Traub mill/turn? Our machine is a Traub TNA 300 and has XYZC axis. I'm having some issues with G17 Face Milling. If I start my tool-path in positive XY the machine executes no problem. However, if there are any features in a negative quadrant that I put tool-paths on the machine does not like it. Has anyone had this issue before??

Hi everyone, Last week I thrown on a Live tooling lathe with a Y axis. I have never touched a Life tooling lathe let alone a Y axis one. My first part to make is a simple turn part with 2 mill features. A face contour and a cross contour that requires Y axis moves. The cross Contour I have figured out and it works perfectly. The face contour is where the problem is happening, and its post processor related. Our lathes C axis only excepts C0-C360 for absolute commands, Negative call outs Do not work. To do continuous interpolation an incremental call out of H is needed. H can be positive and negative and can be any reasonable number. If you command G0 C360. Once you hit 360 degree's its back at Zero degrees. So, he's what my post is doing.

M5 P12 M30 % I've gone through the post and found this. #C-axis variables for calculations one_rev : 0 #0 = Absolute positioning with wind up, 1 = Start between 0 to 360 closest direction #MU00004 c_axistype : 2 #1 = C axis winds-up, 2 = C axis signed absolute #3 = index positioning (do not set here, use string) Under machine definition's in Lathe Spindle C Axis I have three options. Signed Continuous Signed direction, absolute angle (0-360 deg.) Shortest direction, absolute angle (0-360.) <=== Current Setting Is there any combo of these settings that will get me what i need? Which is to basically to give me an H incremental move to move the machine into the next 0-360 zone. I am using the Mplmaster post on X9.

Right now I am working on a project where I am using a blade mounted in the CNC that is fixed to the C axis. What I am doing is trying to use the C axis to rotate my blade as I travel along a contour to cut out different shapes in veneer, vinyls, etc. My question, is there a way that I can output code in a way that always keeps the C Axis on a tangent to whatever contour I am following? Is this something that I can do within MasterCam itself, or will it require modification to the post?
