Machine Simulation for turning

Anonymous — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 07:42:01 GMT

Hello All!

A question arose with machine simulation of turning toolpaths in PM2018.1.4. The next error pops up:

Simulation cannot start as the current machine tool cannot do turning.

No official information on this issue is not found, other than this video:

What needs to be changed in MTD to solve this issue?

Normaly this message is display if you have a limitation on the C Axis.

For turning you should not have a MIN and MAX limitation

Turning machine configuration

        <control_info ADDRESS="C" />
        <simple_rotary X="0" Y="0" Z="0" I="0" J="0" K="1" />

Milling machine configuration

        <control_info ADDRESS="C" MIN="-36000" MAX="36000" />
        <simple_rotary X="0" Y="0" Z="0" I="0" J="0" K="1" />
