I've had my Main-Parms-CTRL Auto Rotary Brake set to yes since I installed my 4th axis on my RH19 Cent7. After getting my Fusion 360 post processor to spit out code for full 4th axis machining and not just indexing, I ran a test program. The 4th axis moves were constantly stopping waiting for the brake to turn on or off. After setting the Auto Rotary Brake parameter to no, the program ran smoothly. But.....
When I put the machine in handwheel mode and the 4th brake was on, you could turn the 4th axis dragging the brake. I'm a little concerned that accidentally ordering the 4th axis to rapid to different positions with the brake on could be a bad thing.
When running a F360 program that indexes the A axis, it leaves the clamp on.
Any thoughts/suggestions on this?
Regards
And Hope you all have a Happy New Year!
