Mill Turn with B-Axis - Rotate a Turning Tool 180 degrees in the Spindle Axis

[Christoph_360]

Hello

Is it possible to rotate a Turning Tool 180 degrees in the Spindle Axis so that I only need the Left Hand Tool to perform the two operations.

Thanks

MfG

Christoph

it seems like it would be a pain in fusion to do this.. I would think you would have to create another tool and do it that way.. I am using an okuma multus with fusion and a lot of stuff i do i have to edit the programs here and there to get the machine to do what i want... for instance here i would just add a line TL=001001 BA=135 M602 and go from there.. to me thats easier than trying to get fusion to do what i want with its turning limitations at the moment.

Looking at the Integrex post, there does appear to be some logic to allow one to define a Spindle Axis. I've reached out to one of our post developers to see if they can shed some light on what is and is not possible.

Thank you for the Support, I just wanted to be sure I didn't miss anything. I think that this Feature will be integrated into the Turning Operations to get a correct simulation and a correct NC output.
