Greetings All,
I am working on building a post processor for a newly acquired DMU80P five axis mill. Can anyone with a similar machine and control (MillPlus V4.10) provide some snippets of simultaneous five axis code that is known to work? This machine has an indexing head (either vertical or horizontal position M53/M54) and a A/C axis work table.
It appears that most of the DMUs have a B axis tilting head and a C only table. That configuration has only to make use of G17 and G7s. The horizontal spindle mode seems to need the G18 plane. I am using the latest version of five axis GibbScam, but code from any CAM platform would help.
Thanks,
