Initial 5axis positioning to have in one line

[macr72515SL4L]

Hi all,

Need help in here.

I'm using the standard Okuma mill post for my 5-axis machine. Is there a way to combine the initial positioning of X, Y, A, and C into a single block instead of having them in separate blocks?

I want to have N11 combined in N17

(G00  X53.631  Y-18.553  A30.  C0.)

Thanks !!

Hi macr72515SL4L,

Depending on how your control handles it, it might be possible, 

Getting it to post on a single line will require some medium difficulty post modification.

Coincidentally I've done it last week so I know its possible to do post-wise.

Are you experienced in post modification?

If you are I'd be willing to explain what I modified, however it is at your own risk.

Hi -Gerrit-Jan, I do have some understanding of it, I’d appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks

Hi macr72515SL4L, 

I realized I'm actually kind of bad at explaining this kind of stuff so i took the liberty of just modifying the stock post.

It functions like you described for 3+2 operations, I did not change the way code is posted for simultaneous tool-paths.

I'm a fairly novice post-editor so use this post with caution.

I'm pretty confident it will work fine as this is a very similar modification to what I did to my own Haas post last week and that's been running fine.

If someone more experienced can take a look at it and maybe give me some feedback on bad practices I might have, I'd love to learn from it.

Hi -Gerrit-Jan,

I tried this modified post, but still showing up the same way. Is there something I need to enable or disable in the Fusion post settings?

Here's the actual codes,

Thanks..

Hi,

It seems like I forgot to mention that you need to enable the post property called something along the lines of ‘simultaneous Index’.

If you enable that it should work.

You are very welcome!

Just be very careful the first few times you use it 🙂
