You will also need to make sure that your post is set up to post the z-axis moves. Just double check the code. The nice part about the CAMWorks threadmill is that you can add the cutter comp to the program. |
I think it must be my post then. I did all you described but when it was run in the machine the machine was moving around the boss but the z was not moving at the same time. The x and y made the correct amound of revolutions around but no simultaneous Z move. I was not sure if I needed to be running 3 axis or not. I guess I simply need to have my reseller adjust my post.
