Hello,
I'm having issues creating a custom lathe tool that will cut correctly.
For starters my tool is a CMNG 543 tool for my Mazak Integrex C6-DCMN-00090-16 and DNMG 432 C6-DDMNL-00130-1504
When it comes out of the tool changer at B0 pointing toward the chuck and when I OD turn and Face it's at B45.
I just can't figure out what it needs from me in order for it to cut correctly.
I attached files for you to see what I'm talking about.
In the first Machine Group the first three programs are correct and are the current tools that I'm programming with but the issue is I have to change the B angle every time I post manually to 45 and they are just generic tools and not the actual tools I use. I'm using their tool paths as a reference to what I want my custom tools to do.
In the second Machine Group the programs that are made with the custom tools listed above and as you can see they aren't the same as the Machine Group.
If I change the center point of the tool it fixes one thing but messes up another.
In the program I have the tool angle set to 45 so I can get correct B axis position.
Any help would be appreciated.
