Adding Rotation between Cuts for Indexed Job

[Anonymous]

I've successfully completed my first set of CAM instructions, and I'm quite pleased with the results, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the MDX-50 (or similar) using a rotary jig.

I cannot find any way to set an angle on my machine other than by manually going in between cuts and setting the stock holder to the appropriate angle before uploading the next set of instructions and cutting. With my current machine time down to a little over two hours, this isn't a massive deal, but I'd like to be able to automate the turns both for accuracy and full automation.

There are no settings in the post file that I can see, but I imagine I could just add an extra set of coordinates to the end of the appropriate cuts that changes the angle of the holder. The main problem is that I've looked at example outputs from the manufacturer-provided SRP Player, and the coordinate formatting changes if the tool is being treated as a 4th axis (normal coordinates only include XYZ with nowhere to set an A value).

Since this is not technically a problem with Fusion, I haven't included a file with this post, but I can wrangle something up easily enough if that's helpful for understanding what I intend to do.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?

If it is not in the post you can use a passthrough to add an index move in, can you post the post-processor you are using.

I'm using the Roland RML post from the Fusion library, I've attached a copy below

Doing edits to that post is way over my head.

You will need to find out how to set the A-axis rotation then you can just add it into the G code at the correct spot.

The Roland posts in general are just bonkers. I couldn't find a spot for it in the actual post itself, but maybe I can just remove all of the contents of one of the SRP Player files and inject it between files.
