3 axis rotary Mashine setup

[christian.theander]

A tricky problem.
I have built a cnc for making drums (musik drums) with three axis (
Z-axis (and A as slave) for the spindle to go up and down.
X axis for tpinle to go the left and right.

B axis for the rotyating drum.

I use Mach3 (where only A, B and C can be set as rotary axis)

I whant to design the drums in Fusion 360. and create g-code to send to Mach3

I am not able to configure the Mashine Setup to make angular g.code for the B-axis.
I only get G-code for Z, X and a Y-axis.
Any ideas where to start

No ideas, as this is the "Fusion 360 Manage" forum, which has nothing to do with the modelling software "Fusion 360". IKR? 

Good luck!

Is there a forum for this kind of questions?

Hello @christian.theander 

Here is a workflow and advises for creating a machine configuration file.

Start from the Autodesk Generic 4-axis (A Table) available in the Fusion 360 machine library, copy it to a personal folder (cloud or local).
This will allow editing the configuration.
Machine configuration files, in the online Fusion360 library, are read only from Fusion by default.

Edit the machine configuration file, alter whatever you want in the description, and dimensions.

Delete X axis definition from the table "branch". Select it in the kinematic tree, then right click "Delete".
Select the Z linear, then right click and add a linear axis.

Repeat the process for the Y axis. Do this one axis at a time, to insert the correct "missing" axis to the kinematic tree.

You can then change the coordinate name of the rotary axis from A to B, without changing the orientation 1,0,0.
Uncheck the TCP checkbox for the rotary axis.

You can save your machine configuration file.

Hope it will help you progressing in your project.

Have a pleasant day.

Cheers,
