post processor for Siemens 840SL with B & C 5 axis Spinner u1530 machine

workshopB26JU — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 15:29:27 GMT

Recently moved over to Fusion 360 and need to sort out our post processor for a SPINNER U1530 5 axis with SINUMERIK SIEMENS 840SL control

We've cam'd up a simple part that requires some B and C axis moves, but when we try to post using the generic post downloaded from fusion with some minor home settings tweaks, but we get an error which looks like it relates to the B and C axis settings ...

Our machine a SPINNER 5 axis has a B and C axis configuration rather than a B & A axis

can anyone point us in the right direction on how to set the correct B & C configurations

fusion post errorspinner machine configuration

i'm guessing this would be done in the part of the post below ???

return options;
}

function onOpen() {

if (false) {
var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[1, 0, 0], range:[-120.0001, 120.0001], preference:1});
//var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-120.0001, 120.0001], preference:1});
var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:true, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[0, 360], cyclic:true});
machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis, cAxis);

setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
optimizeMachineAngles2(0);
}

Many Thanks

Martin

Hi,

by a error you are trying set multiple Zero point (more then one Setup like G54, G55, G56 .. ). Try it with with set up one Zero point and tilt set by a Tool direction in a operation.

Then output will be for Sinumeril like Cycle 800 (...... ) for create new local workplane on a machine.

About a kinematics machine set up .

Yes it is on this place like you are writing.

//var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[1, 0, 0], range:[-120.0001, 120.0001], preference:1});
var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-120.0001, 120.0001], preference:1});
var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:true, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[0, 360], cyclic:true});
machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis, cAxis);

setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
optimizeMachineAngles2(0);

Hello,
I have a Spinner u630 5-axis machine. It has a SINUMERIK SIEMENS 840SL control unit.
Could you share if you are actively using a post processor?
