Setting WPC for part on trunnion

[cjelley91]

Hey everyone I'm having trouble with programming for 4 axis trunnion. I have always used the center of rotation (Z) and the center of the trunnion (X & Y) to run jobs programmed in fusion on my trunnion table. Although this method works, I am looking for more control of my WPC. I would like to know if there is a better way to do this. I want the WPC to be on the part (preferable on the Zero from the blueprint). Can someone give me some pointers on how to go about accomplishing this? Photo attached of current setup.

Couple questions;

1) Do you wish to use multiple work offsets for the various angles you would position to?

2) What is your machine and post processor?

1) I don't mind using one wpc for all angles. Although I'm not opposed to it. My problem is that the layout I have for my design is not the same as whats on the machine. My Y value is off and my X value is off as well.

2) I've attached the post processor. I have a Mazak VCN-570C.

I would like to be able to use a wpc like in this photo attached.

To my knowledge, there's nothing preventing you from setting your WCS origin wherever you wish and then establishing another WCS for subsequent angles. What attempts have you made, and what have the results been? Do you have a sample file you can share?

If you just want to be able to probe up that point and run, you will need to be able to use G68.2(tilted work plane), your machine will need to have this option enabled and the Kinematics will need to be set in parameters,  It also doesn't look like your Post supports G68.2 either so that would need some work.

Alternatively you could probe the part in the machine to find the position relative to rotary centerline and manipulate the part in Fusion to match these numbers, this is probably pretty tedious though.
