I'm doing a program Check with a simple taper program...
it's not showing the upper & lower paths...
what switch do i need to turn on inorder to show it?
also in the upper right corner of the screen, where the X,Y,U,V,Z axis co-ordinates are displayed, the U & V are staying at 0...
any ideas? all this use to work before, but i had to reload all my software
Machine is a CX but it should be the same as all mitsubishi controls...
You don't have any Z Heights in your program (I suspect Z1,Z2 and Z5 on work piece setup page are all at zero)
Your NC would benefit from the following:
%
L0003/DIE
G90
Z1=9.000 (Or your chosen Z height this is the Pivot point of your geometry)
Z2=4.500 (Where Adaptive control measures itself)
Z5=0.000 (or bottom of job, Not important on 2 axis taper but why chance it)
G92 X-2.0388 Y1.6228
E1040
H1=.0077
*NOTE* Z1 and Z5 are usually swapped in 4 axis!
Hope this helps. If your post processor does not output these extra codes you will need to manually edit your NC every time you need to cut non-parallel jobs.
Also have you, since reloading software, performed a wire alignment and taper-Z? If not your taper will not look right.
