In this video, you’ll: troubleshoot output errors.
00:08
Open the file Output errors.f3d in the Manufacture workspace.
00:15
Notice that this is a fourth-axis setup with toolpaths already applied.
00:21
In the Browser, under Setups, select Rotary Op Setup.
00:27
Then, from the Toolbar, Actions panel, select Simulate.
00:33
From the Simulation player controls, click Play.
00:38
During the simulation, it appears as if the tool spindle rotates around the part.
00:45
However, when the program is actually run, the tool spindle will remain stationary,
00:52
and the part will index around the A-axis.
00:56
After you have verified the toolpath, close the Simulation dialog.
01:02
Again, from the Browser, select Rotary Op Setup.
01:07
Then, from the Toolbar, Actions panel, select Post Process.
01:14
This displays the NC Program dialog.
01:18
Under Machine and post, next to Post, click More.
01:25
This opens the Post Library dialog.
01:29
In this example, select HAAS – Next Generation Control.
01:36
Once the post is chosen, click Select.
01:40
Back in the NC Program dialog, under Program,
01:45
ensure that the Output Folder directs to the correct location you wish to save the NC Program.
01:53
In the Name/Number field, enter a name for the program, such as “14528”.
02:02
Once you have made your changes, click Post.
02:06
An indicator displays, stating that the NC code failed to post.
02:13
From the indicator, click View Error Log.
02:17
The code displays in your default code reader.
02:22
Scroll the lines of code to review the errors.
02:26
Notice that, at the end of the code, it again indicates that the code failed to post.
02:32
Open the .log tab.
02:35
Here, you can review a more detailed account of the errors.
02:41
One of the errors is that the tool orientation is not supported.
02:47
Close the log.
02:49
To fix this, the A-axis option must be enabled so that the code can be processed correctly to the CNC machine for the fourth axis.
02:60
In the Browser, under NC Programs, right-click NCProgram1.
03:06
From the shortcut menu, select Edit.
03:10
This opens the NC Program dialog again.
03:15
Open the Settings tab.
03:18
Under Post properties, under Group 1, notice that Has A-axis rotary is set to No.
03:26
Expand the drop-down and select Yes.
03:31
Then, click Post.
03:34
An indicator displays again, this time stating that the NC code successfully posted.
03:41
Click View NC Code and review the output in the code reader again.
03:48
Here, you can see that the code has posted correctly, now that the A-axis has been enabled.
03:56
Close the code dialog, and then edit the NC code once more.
04:02
In the Settings tab, expand the Has A-axis rotary drop-down.
04:09
Notice the Reversed option.
04:11
Be aware that you can enable this if the fourth axis is set up on the opposite side of the table when the part is being machined.
04:21
In addition, Group 1 has options for a B-axis and C-axis as well, should your machine require them.
