28346457)Īnd here is a video of the crash to go along with it: ĭrills the first 26 holes correctly no problems, as soon as it rotates the B axis, it breaks the drill, and plunges into the part. Mine uses Tilted Working Plane and outputs a different G68.2 for each hole after returning Z Axis to home. Except that it cannot use TCP because TCP doesn't support canned cucles. I do 5 axis drilling a lot on a Fanuc control. Sorry Dave_WDM for derailing this thread (but I think somehow all these issues are coupled)! At least these things make the g-code easier to interpret. Likewise with the three axis machine definition with the trunnion not being used you can generate g-code with no B or C values being posted at all. So might would ideally like to generate g-code with no B values at all so you can be assured the B never changes. The TRT-160 has a 1.6" bore in the platter so you can machine tube ends and everything but obviously if you're doing that you really really don't want to have the B axis inadvertently move. Our 4th axis concept is to turn the TRT-160's tilt axis, which in our case, is aligned with Y, to 90 so the platter is facing along the X-axis of the table and then use the platter as a 4th. The reason to have different machine definitions is you can generate simpler g-code. There's a lot of trouble shooting history with our VAR editing our post and as is the case with a lot of stuff around here, we're all wondering why no one, including the course providers, VARs or machine vendors can give us good answers to what seem like questions that lots of people have.

SideTalker you're completely right about the DWO/TCPC here and as I've leaned in this thread, I'm wrong, but that's why we're here, to learn, and we'll fix that for both 4th and 5th axis set ups.
