I am setting up our new 5 axis CNC and I need to change the way it reposition
1) The machine is constructed such that the 5 axis head can hit the columns if the order of operations is incorrect.
2) The machine currently moves XYZ simultaneously to the start of the next operation. This is a problem because if you have a tall workpiece it can collide with the head.
I need to be able to control the order of:
X Y Z A C axis movements between operations.
Right now, it moves from a full retract position home:
A C simultaneously to set the tilted work plane/tool orientation
XYZ simultaneiously
As you can imagine, moving xyz from the upper corner of a machine, to a tilted work plane, it could collide the head with the work piece. I need the following function:
XY position first simultaneiously
AC Position simultaneiously (head)
Z position
How do i change this?
