We recently purchased a DMG Mori NLX1500 millturn with a HeimaTec 8 040 65 005 adjustable angle head.
Link to head
The angle head needs to drill a 0.093" at a 45º angle in two places on a part we make.
I am using the stock NLX post processor in Fusion, and NLX does not have the g68.1 functionality.
I have tried setting the tool orientation in Fusion to the hole to be drilled, but it will not post.
"Error: Direction is not supported for machine configuration"
I understand that without the g68.1 function, I may not be able to use canned cycles to move in the direction needed.
We have staff members who can use Fusion to make programs, but are not very g-code savvy, so short of hand programming a drilling cycle moving in at 45º, is there something I'm missing in fusion to get this to post properly, or something I can edit in the post to get the tool to move in this fashion?
I have attached the .f3d file in question.
Thank you for your time.
