Hello All:
My Name is Gary..
I am using the latest versions of Rhino and Madcam and I am having some issues in processing my g-code..
I am cutting a simplr ring.
I have a 5 Axis Trunion mill.
I am using mach3 5 axis mm post prosessor. Yes, I have tried many of them and the same problem..
If I use Indexed 5 axis in Madcam and select the front then create an indexed planar finish then chose back and create a finish for the back the toolpath lookd good in rhino..
If I use Madcam's viewer it moves the ring into the corect oriantation cuts the front rotates the b axis and cuts the back.. However after posting the code it post's the initial B rotation then it will show the code. There is no second B Axis code as ocured in the viewer. There is a Z home and an A Axis but no B
I tried them as seporate files. IE Create the code for the front and all is well shows initial A and B axis.. then I do a seporate one for the back and post it. it shows the initial A Axis but no initial B axis..
ALSO. if I do one side and use 2 tools and do a cut leaving 1 MM and change tools recut it to 0. Looks good in Rhino and in Madcam Simulater. but the post doedn't show the tool change. Although it does show the code for the second tool..
I have not altered the tools or the post processor,...YET..
I sure hope someone can help me as I need this to demo a new machine for a customer..
Thanks
Gary
