Can someone please tell me if there’s a solution
to modify the coordinate system in order to transform it as it is on case b) ?
I have tried changes through post (where Z would b Y – but this is clearly not the complete solution or the solution at all)
This is for a heidenhain 355 on a zayer machine.
(i've tried also with Pro Vs, rotate the toolpath but the CC and C lines disappear after transformation, and this machine is too hold to work with point-to-point path)
thx

Re: HH 355 processor vertical to horizontal
To swap the Y and Z co-ordinate output in the post replace the following macro's
[G_CODE][DELIMITER][NEXT_X][DELIMITER][NEXT_Y][DELIMITER][NEXT_Z]
with
[G_CODE][DELIMITER]X[NEXT_NONMDL_X][DELIMITER]Y[NEXT_NONMDL_Z][DELIMITER]Z[NEXT_NOMDL_Y]
Under Rapid & linear motion block formats.
Are you using VisualMILL 6.0, RhinoCAM 2.0 or VisualMILL 6.0 for SolidWorks?
[G_CODE][DELIMITER][NEXT_X][DELIMITER][NEXT_Y][DELIMITER][NEXT_Z]
with

Can you upload the part file along with a copy of your post processor & we can take a look at it?(i've tried also with Pro Vs, rotate the toolpath but the CC and C lines disappear after transformation, and this machine is too hold to work with point-to-point path)

Hi, just now had the oportunity to cross by the forum.
Thx for the answer, but in fact I had done that edit and other.
I'm currently, using VM6.0.7.3 Standard version.
All the best

Re: HH 355 processor vertical to horizontal
For case (b) you do not need to swap the X and Z co-ordinates in the post. Set the scale factor for Y and Z co-ordinate to -1 under the Motion tab.
Re: HH 355 processor vertical to horizontal
Hi my aim is to change the MSC from a) to b).
the machine is converted from a vertical Z attack to an horizontal Z attack.
so if we could rotate SC over X (90º or -90º) it would be ok, and the ways I figure it out to do it so far
is doing edits through POST or toolpath conversion (but in neither of cases i've been successfull)
------
(scale factor is just to set +/- axis direction, right?)
Do you have any other hint???
thx

Re: HH 355 processor vertical to horizontal
You don't need to do anything different to run a horizontal machine if the geometry is defined in the XY plane. I am not sure why you are trying to transform the toolpath.
