4 Axis Machining Rotary Table not turning Continously
4 Axis Machining Rotary Table not turning Continously
(OP)
Hello,
I have been working on a part and have been able to get most of it done thanks to the people here.
I think I'm at the final stage, but I'm stuck at this point. I'm using a post processor I created for this.
After postprocessing, I get the following code at one point.
N1720 X34.18 Z15.32 A359.44
N1730 X34.09 Z15.31 A359.73
N1740 X34. Z15.29 A.02
But my rotary table, instead of moving in the same direction it did before, starts turning the otherway to get the angle referenced in line 1740.
How can I change this and make the rotary table the same direction and proceed to 0.02 from 359.73
Thank You

Bugie, I simulated this in Vericut and got this result. How can I check if its something with vericut only? or will it be the same in the machine also?

Anyways, I apologize for not having an NX-relevant solution, I hoped that opening the >360 idea would trigger something. :) Oh well. Good luck.
