I use production milling to program the A axis on one of our milling machines. You need two things to make it work right. the .TMP file must have this section, or similar. @LINE < #FDMODE>< #MOV>< A#ADIR#INDXA>< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>< Z#ZPOS>< F#FEED> and the geometry must be rapped.

Here is a snippet of the required code: N1 G0 X6.0 Y.25 A-10.0 N2 G1 X7.0 N3 G1 Y-.25 A10.0 N4 G1 X6.0 NOTES: The rotary table is actually tilted @ 30' line 3 has the tool and the table moving in the same direction ( the side walls point to the center of rotation, and the tool needs to be offset (1) cutter radius) Thanks, J.G. ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================================== ====================================================================== To find out more about this mailing list including how to unsubscribe, send the message "info mfg-smartcam" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ======================================================================
