Machine Angles Settings

CNCfacile — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 09:28:14 GMT

Hi all,
I need a simple information. The data set in the post processor in machineAngles is overwritten by the information set in the axis preference, in the kinematics from the machine builder. Or are they two completely separate things?

If they are two separate settings, how do they work?

Thanks

When you use this machine configuration for post processing by default all our post processor will respect the setting while creating the NC codes of what you are setting here. in this case you want to tilt the B axis to negative side by preference so this means when ever possible it will try to tilt to the negative side.

But its more sutiable for the machines which have two rotary axis where for a toolpath which will have two possible solutions one on the positive side and other on the negative side. If thats the case then we choose the negative solution as the preffered option.
