B axis for horizontal mill OM

[nabil_elbadri]

hi
i have a horizontal milling machine FANUC controller OM with rotary table
the table is B axis but the G code 107 for cylendrical interpolation is not working, because it's optional and the manufacturer disable it from the controller.
the table is rotating just to a certain angle as the operator specifys in the program, i mean the table is not continously rotating to make a cylendrical interpolation operation ,
so i am thinking if there are any way to adjust the table movement, maybe change some parameters or do some mechanical adjustments or both.
the point is i want the G CODE 107 WORKING.
note: when i write a G107 in a program, alarm occurs says G code not supported
are there any way to make G107 works ?
thank you,

The machine probably doesn't have the option.It is called a "full 4th axis"'what you have is a 1 degree 4th axis.Can you rotate the table with the pulse generator or do you have to use mdi?

i can rotate the table with MDI or in program, i didn't understand what you mean to rotate the table with the pulse generator ???
thnx

pulse generators and handle are the same thing.I have 3 horizontals,one is a mori-seiki sh-50 with a fanuc 18.It has a 1 degree table and cannot be rotated with the handle.I also have 2 matsuura hplus 300 with fanuc 30i control.they have a full 4th axis,i can rotate the table by using the handle.that is a simple way of checking to see if you have a full 4th axis.I would never buy another machine without that option.believe me it is worth the 20 or 30 thousand dollars extra.
