Hi guys, we are facing an urgent programming issue with 5-axis turning & milling machine center with the axis rotations are messed up. Detailed pictures are attached.

When we changed the XYZ axes from original location to the new red marked location, A & B axes weren't moved as expected.

Precisely, while using the align turning tool from Cycle 800, A axis was not moving at all. We've tried with different parameter settings, however, it didn't work for A axis anyway. Double checked on tool carrier, no problem to its setting.

Is there any other settings we need to perform? Thanks a lot for your help!!!

Why would you alter a 5axis machine configuration away from what an OEM had created, tested & proven to work ?
All your settings, limits, & paramaters are designed around those axes.

You then program the machine to that configuration
It's a standard horizontal machine with a B axis (360° rotation around Y) and an A axis on the head (rotates around X... guessing 110° of arc movement).

I suggest putting it back to original, and programming it as designed.

This machine was originally working on milling.
The new request is adding the turning functionality to this machine center. The problem is raised on turning movement after the XYZ re-positioned.
