Generic Heidenhain post axis limit modification not working

[gsporie]

I'm using the generic Heidenhain post with our Mikron Vario600. The post mostly works out of the box but I noticed it will post B axis moves beyond the range of the machine so I modified the following line from:

var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-120.000, 120.000], preference:1});

to

var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-115.0, 30.0], preference:1});

This matches the machine limits of -115 deg to +30. However, when I go to post, it doesn't seem to be taking this into account. It will still post B +32 moves, etc.

Is there something else that I need to modify? I've done something similar to a Haas UMC post in the past without issue.

Thanks!

Can you share your post processor with us?

Its the exact same as fusion's generic Heidenhein post except for the one change I mentioned above.

Hi @gsporie 

I understand you're looking to define stroke limits for your axis. The most effective way to approach this is through the creation of Machine Definitions. This process allows you to specify stroke limits within the definition.

Here's an article that explains in detail how to create or edit machine kinematics: https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=MFG-MACHINE-DEFINITION

This step-by-step guide should give you a comprehensive understanding of the process.

Once you have set up your Machine Definitions, such as the ones shown in the screenshot below, you can enable the "Use Machine Configuration" option. As a result, the output should adhere to the defined kinematics.

I did that already through the machine builder. I have a custom made machine model that simulates accurately with the post but adjusting the limits do not seem to have any impact on the post results.

Hi @gsporie ,

Is the machine linked with the Heidenhain post?

if the problem still persist, could you upload the machine file here?

[gsporie]

Yes, the post is linked to the machine in the machine definition
