Hi all,
Have made a post for Siemens 840d controller for our DMF600 and all looks good in code wizard. But when indexing in an Edge cam simulation the head goes way out of position. I am pretty confident that the post works but graphics in simulation look wrong. I tried to upload the cgd file for others to look over but said incorrect file type. Any Ideas.

Cheers

Here is the post hopefully uploaded correctly.

Ideas anyone??

Here is my latest post I made but the B and C axis get put around the wrong way when I generate code. Maybe there is something simple I have done wrong??

On your B axis in Machine Setup change Axis-Direction Y1 to Y-1 to reverse direction, for C axis change Z1 to Z-1.

BTW i think you will get faster support on the Vero forum, if you are a licensed user that is.

Cheers mate. I'll give that a crack! We have licensed version at work but they stopped there maintenance on it a couple of years ago so I don't think I am allow tech support any more. I have my for educational purposes only version at home that I test stuff on and for practice. My management at work are nobs and I think I am the only one interested in getting it working properly some times. I am hoping I can prove its worth so I can get the yearly maintenance happening again. We are currently stuck on version 2015R2. Thanks again buddy I'll let you know how I go.

Cheers

Actually that wasn't the problem I think I explained myself incorrectly. All the data appears to be correct in the simulation window but when I generate the NC code the B axis positions are in the C axis and C axis positions are in the B axis. I'm sure it is something really simple I have missed but just can't see it for the life of me. All other data is spot on.

Sorry for the late reply, didnt notice until now :P
So look in your format table, your first rotary axis is B change to C and for second change to B
I though you meant they where going the wrong way :P

Thanks a bunch mate, I never would have found that on my own. I just naturally assumed that B was always the first rotary axis. Now I can work out the rest of the nitty gritty stuff with the post.

Cheers again
