Searching Post for Mazak J-600/5X

[LarsdeKoster]

Hi everyone,

Currently at my work we are making the switch from EZcam to fusion 360. Every machine works fine with fusion but for our mazak we dont have a proper post to run the machine. The generic 3 axis post edited to 5 axis works fine but when the table starts rotating the spindle is miles off. It is just on the whole other side of the machine. 

So my question in the end is:

Is there a good post proccesor for the mazak J-600/5X if not,

Does anybody know how to fix the issue? 

Kind regards,

Lars de Koster

Did you try the VC-500 post, that one has code already in it for 5 axis motion, it might get you closer..

Hi,

I tried that post to and it did the same strange stuff

Hello @LarsdeKoster 

a quick look at the Mazak website suggest that you will need to alter a line, at the beginning of the onOpen function.

This line

var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-110, 110], preference:1});

must be change to

var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-120, 90], preference:1});

as the limits of the machine are differents.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. But i have some quick questions,

1. Where did you find this info exactly? Because there may be more usefull info

2. What did it exactly change?

3. Do i need to change it for the C axis to? 

Kind regards,

Lars de Koster

Hi @LarsdeKoster 

1-

VARIAXIS j-500 5X (mazakeu.com)

2-

 Any machine may have limits on the axis especially for A or B axis. C is less often limited (except on C axis on head)

So the kinematic must be defined correctly to avoid try to generate a program moving to unreachable posiiton.

No
