Angled Pocket on a PUMA 2100 LSY with a 45 degree Angled Live Tooling Holder

[john_laughli]

Hello fellow makers,

I am trying to utilize a 45 degree angled live tooling holder to mill an angled pocket into a tube. My machine is the Puma 2100 LSY and thus does not have mill turn capabilities (no A axis). I've got the simulation to do what I want, but can't get the milling tool path to post. I am using the following Post (DN Solutions (Doosan) Mill/Turn with Fanuc 0i/31i control)

Below are my post property selections:

What I've tried enabling the multi-axis G400 & G700 post properties, no improvement.

Please help me with suggestions on how I can get this to work.

You could try adding in the following line at 1027 in the post -

That should then allow you to post code with the B axis output (but set manually).  The code will then look something like :-

You can see that the B is output as a comment so you can verify the angled holder is set correctly to your programmed hole in Fusion.
You probably wont need the M190/M189 clamp/unclamp codes but the G68.1 should set the correct orientation on the machine and plane.
