Turning - Spindle brake when parting off

Morning,

 

Ive posted this in manufacture but not had any joy, Im hoping it may get picked up here. I have one main point which is a problem and then a second just looking for some clarity on what the command does

 

1. When I use a live milling tool and have C-axis optimisation on, the part off code produces a M14 line, causing the machine to error. I guess this is a bug? 

 

2. I have no idea what C-axis optimisation should actually do? As when its ON I get XY's and a G112 plus the above error. And when its OFF I get XY's with a G112 minus the above error. When I post with it turned OFF the code is useable, I get good parts but it obviously still uses the C-Axis.

Attach your post here, from what I understand of your problem when Parting off you get the M14 code, I guess that code should be it most cases an Mcode for your part Catcher.

That we can see only in your pp.

Morning, 

 

Thanks for the reply, Ive attached the post now.

 

But it's not the parts catcher m code as that is present (m36) along side the M14, when 'use part catcher' is selected in the part off cycle.

I see that the problem is coming from here:

If you suppress your 2D contour XZC Milling will no longer have a M14 there.

It seems it should be an unlocking of C axis at the end of your live tool milling.

I see that the original post from haas works correct. There might be something altered in your post.

Thanks for this, Ill give it a whirl

 

But as far as I'm aware the post Im using is the standard haas post from fusion? Post modification is something I dont ever play around with, I dont know enough about it

 

Could it be that the post Im using has since been updated by fusion?

It's possible it's been updated for sure, I know they keep the Haas posts well maintained. maybe is better to get the latest one according to your machine needs.
