Siemans Mill/Turn Output in C Axis

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 09:45:53 GMT

hi guys

can anyone please help ?

im outputting with seimans mill turn but our lathe does not have a Y axis and only has X-Z-C axis but no matter what I do it wont stop outputting Y values !, such as "G53 Y0"I can use manual NC "use xzc mode" but then It wont support radius compensation ? so I have no way to adjust tool wear ?

Hi @Anonymous , search for gotYaxis in your post. If is set to true change it to false.

Hi Jason

Thanks so much for your reply I have done that but it just outputs Y axis when I try to do a 2d contour and it still outputs Y for my home position ETC

Is there TRANSMIT above your X/Y-Axis movement?

Thats normal for polar interpolation

Hi Steve

yes there is at the top of the 2d contour operation, but I’m quite new to the seimans control should that not be there ?
