looking for 5 axis advice in reduce the wasted movement

[crunichie]

hello all 

I have come to group again in search of a better answer to my problem I have attached the following is the post use for the 5 axis mill I run  NC code it generated and the file with model and tool paths it self 

with all the select on the post I selected and run with 

so as u see from the program and NC code it created make program run for 58mins but good part that time it the c axis rotation goes from C0. then turn passed 360 degrees up to pass 3000 deg rotations in the C axis

each time it pick up the flow tool path it just added from the last C position the C axis figure  but it start back at C0. but then roation to let say 760 in the c axis then starts from there so that 2 full turn in C axis when tool just spinning in the air.

so why not starting from C0. in stead do that movement back to last c axis figure (hate waste machine time ideal spin in air) so doesn't have to move the machine so much and waste time one it completed one of the flow tool paths

so I am looking to see is there way to make all tool path there own (N1)(M01 so can run op stop) so if stop the program can jump to that tool path with out have run all path from that tool

as I haven't found way to make all tool path let say using a 6mm which is doing bore and adp roughing and finish  which on the setup would be 3 tool path but when i post all seem to be under 1 set of tool data (H1)

so if I missed a simple way of making it do this with M01 after each tool path other then added a manual NC code 

other then trying to post each tool path and pasting them in a way to reduce the c axis wasted movement to try seep up program and able to jump into a individual tool path be great step forward to me and my company

any help to reduce the wasted movement would be great

look forward to help and replies 

many thanks

The post has a forced rewind of the C between operations. Why I'm not totally sure, to be honest.

There is two option, or removing that G28, or limiting the C to 360 degrees, not sure which one you think would be best?

Got both version attached here

hey can expand on what u have done with these posts?

also the reason see as reverse they put the trunnion the wrong way lol that reason for that 

when load in ur post don't see wat different on the surface option and wat would g28 so in stead of g53 can u explain what have done 

thanks

anyone less got idea on how can save time on this part  or post help to reduce c axis movements? as waiting on reply back on post got sent

In 5 axis machining, there is quicker tool removal. The tool is perpendicular to the cutting surface and therefore can more easily remove the material per pass. It results in lower cycle time and faster removal of the material. So, in this case, you can try to limit the C axis and better you can take the help of the CNC professional services that can help you with this problem.
