Error: REWIND: Rewind of machine is required for simultaneous multi-axis toolpat

When posting a flow toolpath using Mazak post we get "Error: REWIND: Rewind of machine is required for simultaneous multi-axis toolpath and has been disabled". The post contains no "rewind" code at all. Our machine is a VCN5x with b and c axis and has the Matrix 2 control. I have edited the Mazak/Mazak generic post that came with 360. Is there a better solution than this or can someone help us thru this? Thanks!

I just tried posting the same toolpath out with a Siemens 840 post and it worked fine. Obviously the output is not usable on a Mazak but I am looking thru the posts to see if I can find a reason.

I changed:

 

if (true) { // note: setup your machine here
var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:true, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[-360, 360], preference:1});
machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(bAxis, cAxis);

setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
optimizeMachineAngles2(0); // TCP mode
}

 

To:

 

if (true) { // note: setup your machine here
var bAxis = createAxis({coordinate:1, table:true, axis:[0, 1, 0], range:[-120, 120], preference:1});
var cAxis = createAxis({coordinate:2, table:true, axis:[0, 0, 1], range:[0, 360], cyclic:true});
machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(bAxis, cAxis);

setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
optimizeMachineAngles2(0); // TCP mode
}

 

and this seems to work.

Hi already there are post which is configured with rewind of machine like

Haas Next Gen.cps

5axismaker.cps

You can search for the rewind logic and you can copy and paste the same set of codes in your post

Refer this link also to configure
