I'll put my thinking cap on about the transformations you are doing + probing versus aligned to the 'bed' of the machine. I'm kinda interested in this as I'm having to dig deep on the Heidenhain (or Heiden-pain (as some call it TNC 640 or go Smooth X / Mazak from now until I kick the bucket). Which is an odd thing to say, but basically the knuckle style rotary MOVES in X axis as you face the machine, but the Spindle moves in Y (to and fro) and up and down in Z. Is that is says ' Cartesian (rectangular) alignment of the axes - results in coherent tool/workpiece movement during the milling process ' The thing that's odd about your machine as I'm sure you know.
So align the part and re setting both B and C axis to Zero would seem to be the way to go.Īny advice would be That's a beautiful machine. But as these are casting this can take a long time.
If we align the part to the bed of the machine the program works fine. We have aligned the part to both B and C axis but when running the program it gets lost when it comes to machining a hole at a compound angle. Does anyone know how to align a part using both B and C axis.
