have a problem with a post processed 3 axis milling job. I have a volume milling and profile sequences (a circular pocket), both with build cut approach and exit moves.

The problem is that i get the approach move XYZ in one block when it should be one block for XY and then Z.

I get:

N16 T2
N17 M6
N18 G40
N19 S1200 M3
N20 G0 G43 Z40
N21 Z5
N22 G1 X50 Y50 Z-10 F120
N23 X48
...


it should be:

N16 T2
N17 M6
N18 G40
N19 S1200 M3
N20 G0 X50 Y50
N21 G43 Z50
N21 Z5
N22 G1 Z-10 F120
N23 X48


With gpost, the post is setup to separate movements:

I think we have not experienced this problem with previous versions of Proe.We are running Creo 1.0.

Any help?
 
My Post Processor can do this operation quickly and easily. It's also
open source so it can be easily fine tuned to your specific needs. We've
done a lot of adjustments to deal with customizing blocks of movement.



Just check out http://camnet-site.com/products/VIPost.html and message me if you're interested.



Thanks!
 
Set these nc sequence parameters:

START_MOTION Z_LAST
END_MOTION&n bsp;&n bsp; Z_FIRST

problem will be solved.
 
Thanks for the reply but the problem goes on. It is a
problem we are experiencing with Creo 1.0
In Wildfire versions we had no problems at all, and the
parameters you are talking about were 'DIRECT'.
PTC is looking after this case. The issue has something
related to the XY point where on sequence ends and the
next starts.
 
try to put xy then rotary then z...z then rotary then xy
it works for me(but i use a 5axis machine)

can i ask you sth?
do you know how to put the 2 rotary axis B and C in
different blocks?
