we recently purchased a Robodrill alphaD21MiA5 with a Koma TN-131 table mounted on the X+ end of the table with the B axis parallel with Y. I set it up with the generic fanuc 5x mill post and control-9 file, created my model and programmed my part. A simple tilt B 12 degrees and mill a pocket using XYZ, with my WCS at the center of the part and bottom face, and posted out the code. I then tried to turn on work shift (mi6) and then enter my shift values to the point of rotation in mr7-mr9 and post the code, no difference in code. So I edit the post to turn on the work shift and then entered the same values in mr7-mr9, this seemed to correct the values for x but not z. I then created another plane and shifted it to the point of rotation, turned off work shift, zeroed mr7-mr9 and posted. perfect! So my question, is there a bug in the generic fanuc 5x mill post and control-9 file that they don't fully communicate with each other, ie.. mi6 does not activate/deactivate work shift and that the post does not fully calculate XYZ when using axis shift, to the point of rotation? I have compared the two posted files, one where I programmed to the point of rotation and one where I use work shift to the point of rotation and they are very different. TIA
