Z axis indexing on UMC-750 posting to wrong rotary

[wmtcoinc]

When I use Z axis indexing on UMC-750 posting to wrong rotary, and the Sim shows tool working in the X+ side of the table while posting commands moves in the x- side.  All the rotary move are in the B rotary, not the C rotary.

Hi @wmtcoinc ,

Thanks for raising your query on Autodesk Forum.

Set the Spindle located at C = 0 in stock indexing. You will also have to set the condition in the post-processor.

Now check the code.

Thank You

where is that located in the Stock FeatureCam post for the UMC 750?

The stock post looks like this for linear moves.

<IF>[restart_tcpc]<THEN>

Hi @wmtcoinc ,

I am not the post-processor expert. But I have attached the modified fm file and standard post with necessary modifications. Can you please take a look and if this doesn't help, please create a support case for post-processor team?

Thank You

That fixed the rotary ID thing , but it doesn't fix the x axis over travel the the plus direction.  The UMC-750 has 30" of X travel.  About 11" in X+ and 19" in X- center to the table.   This means the the milling in the sample must be done in the X- side of the table or you will travel limits.  Your sample run past the X+ machine travel limits. How can I force the post to do this so the Z axis indexing will work on this machine?

After years of trying the fine the fix , still no answer!!!!!!

Well , since no one in this forum can figure this problem out, I left a phone massage with my Rep, and he din't return my call.

Hi @wmtcoinc 

Maybe this can help you.

Mikhail_Voronin your not doing a Z axis indexing cut.  This program would run out of X travel. 

Thanks anyway, Russ
