Post problem 4th axis winding up | | Machine Mori Horizontal with 4th (B axis)

I am programing swarf 5 axis tool paths only using the B axis.
The post keeps winding the B axis.
I have three operations programed.
If I select all three operations for posting, the B axis winds up.
Each consecutive operation will start at a larger B value than where the last B left off from the prevous operation.
If I post each operation seperatly then the B moves are not wound up.
Let's say the first operation moves from B-45. to B45. (rough cut)
The second operation does the same thing. (finish cut)
The third operation does the same thing again. (2nd finish cut)
What the post puts out is .....
First operation will position at B-45. then feeds to B45. then retract.
Second operation will position at B315. then feed to B405. then retract.
Third operation will position at B675. then feed to B765. then retract.
How do I get the post to reset the B axis at each contiguous operation?
Ideally the code would go ....
B-45. to B45.
then B-45. to B45.
then B-45. to B45.
for each operation. |
