I am using an XZC-mill-turn, linked with a Lathe 2 axis post.

I have also tried a 3-axis and 4-axis mill post tied with the same Lathe 2 axis with the same results.

It has only been a few weeks with this software but I would like my VTL to have a functioning post.

I am using NX12 and the post is being made for a Toshiba Vertical Lathe (Mill-turn)



Here is the code being posted for a 90-degree section as an attachment.

Is there a way to get it to post just a few lines of code to rotate the C-axis?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @Bass74,

Do you mean to extract only a few blocks of the output that has a C Address?

Regards,
Maryadi
 
I believe it is the "combine rotary" command that needs to be added, but not sure how to do that.
 
Try the lock axis ude. It did work for things like that but that is an old ude.
