C axis moves to the wrong side of the part

I need some help with, from what I can tell might be a post issue but not sure.  The tool paths all look to be in the correct location but when the code is posted it appears that the C axis moves 180 deg from where it should.  Any help or insight will be greatly appreciated.

 

Machine is a Haas VF-3 with Nikken 5AX201 trunnion located on the right side of the table.  B,C axis

Hi @sttech1 ,

 

All 5 axis table machines can have two solutions (if you have limits on your axes, then this isn't always true). One in the A+ direction and one in the A- direction.


Are you sure this isn't just the other  solution?

 

Thanks,

Will

Solved.  I tried the Haas Next generation control an enabled the UMC-500 and all is well.
