Matsuura 44056 rotary indexing code issue

For the latest update for the Matsuura post, the default setting "preposition rotaries" does not appear to function.

What I would expect to see is after the M132 unclamp - a rapid move of the rotary axis to the 3+2 machining position. the next block would be G68.2 X Y Z I J K.

 

Currently the post processor when returning to a A0 B0 C0 machining position will output a 

M132
G69
M131

 

Which does not index to the appropriate position prior to machining.

Hi @scampbellMKK5X ,

thanks for your feedback.

 

By default the matsuura postprocessor does not have machine kinematics defined since it can be used for many different machines with different kinematics.

Because of that, the post processor does not know about the available ABC axis on the machine so it cannot output these axes.

The easiest is that you select your matsuura machine from the Fusion machine library. With such a machine configuration the post processor will then know about the ABC axes. In addition you will get full machine simulation capabilities.
When your machine does not exist in the library, you can either create your own configuration in Fusion or you can do the same into the postprocessor directly by specifying your kinematics in the defineMachine function.

 

The behavior described above did not change with the latest update, I´ve double checked the output of the previous version of the post and the output is the same.

 

Hope this helps.
