5 axis programs

Tool Vector Input allows the control to compute machine angles and positions, and calculates the angle the tool is going to tilt from the contact point of the surface. Tool Vector Input makes the part program machine-independent, which means you can use the same part program on machines with different axis configurations. How it works CAM systems generally use tool vectors to generate the tool path internally.

Therefore, the control understands where the workpiece is located relative to the centerlines of rotation of the rotary axis. How it works The software tells the head to retract along the tool vector angle.

Thread Tools Show Printable Version. Join Date Jun Location U. Machine is a Mazak VC B axis table rotates about Y and C is Z. We run these parts in another 5 axis Doosan, A is along X axis using G I did not write the original program, so I am still trying to understand how the G Part is programmed from the common origin regardless of rotary position.

Original code: A K0 A pos. The apps guy took our original Doosan program and modified it calling up G SM03 B K0 G Are you interested in learning more about how the Pocket NC is used in schools and universities? Have a complex small part to prototype?

April 06, Update on Pocket NC Spring We are open, offering free access to our course for a limited time, offering US business customers access to financing, and update to software features.

December 05, Pocket NC is excited to announce the launch of courses. What is the Pocket NC Cour
