Hurco post - no A axis output values

Post doesn't work. Latest version on the site says it was last updated a few months ago and was working fine prior to update last week. 

 

The post does not output any A axis codes, replacing it with J, K, U, V & W values which I have never seen.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I just checked the post on the machine and initially it looks all good. Seem to have replaced the A output with Hurco specific post codes for A axis control and rotation but now I am stuck with no ability to see the angle and rotation of the  A axis which means I could have parts hit the table.

So it's a two part solution:

1) Use Machine Configurations, select the Generic A axis machine. That will give you this code:

N12 G0 M140
N13 G69
N14 G0 A0.
N15 G68.2 X0. Y0. Z0. A0.
N16 G8.2 X0.375 Y-1.5 Z2.
N17 M32
N18 M8

Notice we still have the G38.2 line, although it's essentially doing nothing really. To remove that from the mix, we want to edit this line of the post processor:

var useMultiAxisFeatures = true;

Set that to false. Save the post processor to your local storage or the cloud library for your Team Hub

Thanks for that Seth. This is the first time we have need to select a machine to get that format of post. 

 

Did you mean line G68.2 or G8.2?

 

Thanks,
Ariel

 

PS - any luck with the tapping with chip breaking for Haas pre-NGC post processor issue?
