fanuc 4th axis indexing

[Anonymous]

How can my post be modified to prevent ,when indexing on the 4th axis, it reversing direction when reaching +160 degrees to then rotate to -160. What I require is for the indexing to continue rotating in the same direction until all the indexing operations are complete. Thanks

The ABC angles can be mapped to the closest angle by using the remapToABC() function.

Some of the generic posts have already been prepared for this. It might be disabled by default, though. E.g. you can enable it in the generic Heidenhain post by turning on "closestABC".

abc = machineConfiguration.remapToABC(abc, currentMachineABC);

There might be other settings in the posts that influence the output angles. E.g. the supported angular range for the rotary axis set up in the machine configuration.
