4th axis ?

[binzer]

We usually program with the indexer on the right side of the haas facing to the left. Well I need to have it facing the operator. When I program on gibbs, that way and post it out its post out B instead of A degrees? Do I need a diffrent post or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

In a vertical 4th axis machining center, the A axis rotates around the X axis and the B axis rotates around the Y axis. The way you are set up will output B rotary moves.

That makes sense when I try running it that way on the Haas it says B not enabled?

I don't know much about Haas, but they should be no different than other machines. You need motion cards for each optional axis (A,B,C) to be able to use those axis.
