4th axis full simultaneous like tormach

Hey guys,

I'm currently looking for a working 4th axis pp that features simultaneous toolpathes- i need this to machine some spiral grooves in a cylindrical surface.

My 4th Axis is mounted along X.

If I use the common PP's here, the machine would crash...I set the G54 in the rotation center of the Shaft.
First lines looks like this:

N60 G0 X-21.272 Y39.324
N65 G43 Z-7.32 H1
N70 G0 A-100.544
N75 Y29.493 Z-5.49
N80 G1 Y27.429 Z-5.106 F700.
N85 X-21.354 Y27.14 Z-5.137 A-100.718 F500.
N90 X-21.556 Y26.982 Z-5.314 A-101.143

So there is something horrebly wront with that.

My pp lines look like this:

if (true) { // note: setup your machine here
var aAxis = createAxis({coordinate:0, table:true, axis:[1, 0, 0], cyclic:true, preference:1});

machineConfiguration = new MachineConfiguration(aAxis);

setMachineConfiguration(machineConfiguration);
optimizeMachineAngles2(0); // TCP mode

I think I need to adjust the TCP settings? But I can't find anything on the internet....And I have never done this before :-D

I found out, that the tormach PP does the job right, so the PP has the correct settings to get the job done without crashing everything quicker than 'rona....

Can anyone help me out with that?

Thanks in advance and stay healthy everyone!

Cheers, Joel

Hey Tommy thanks for your reply,

Maybe my question is poorly drafted... :-D

So let's say I've got a 4th Axis mounted along my X axis okay?

I want to mill a notch that is wider than my Endmill- lets say it's a 5mm notch milled by a 4mm Endmill.
To get the notch correct and not V shaped we have to use the Y axis okay?

The original Linuxcnc Fusion 360 PP just uses the A axis rotation and X but not Y.

So I need to modify my PP in the direction, that it uses A X and Y to generate a notch that spins around a cylindrical surface.

Do you understand what I mean?

Cheers

fusion can only do 3+2 toolpath meaning position the rotation axis and then mill xyz
you can use the freetriels from Feathercam or powermill there are more full 5axis cams like deskproto rhino visualmill ....

if you upload a step pepople here will give you a path

Hey,

but if I simulate the programm in Fusion, it shows different Y coordinates...So Fusion should be able to generate a true Simultaneous toolpath, but my PP isn't able to convert it into G...

Thanks Guys!
