    Hey, madCam- whats wrong with your Support? There are holidays in sweden?

    Its not a free software and a customer can hope of support. I´m totally pissed on!

    I must produce my parts and I need a functional G-Code for a AXYZ CNC machine.

    All Postprocessors I testet makes waste and in madCam prview I cant see anything - see the screenshot.

    Why the PP´s dont write comands for my Y-Axis?

    Give me a feedback- i had pay for support!

    new findings

    If I look the simulation in same direction as the A-Axis I see, that the Y-Axis dont make any movings and is still in the middle of my A-Axis. ...but If I look at the values at the bottom of the window I can see, that the Y-Axis should make moovings to the left and the right.

    Whats this???????

    figurenholz,
    What version of madCAM5 did you purchase 4 Axis/5 Axis/5 Axis Extra?
    Is your madCAM file large or private, if not can you post it so I can look at your issues.
    The simulation in current madCAM is not fully finished as Joakim has stated in a few posts.
    I have 5 Extra but I will try to simulate your issues.

    Regards,
    Mauri.

    figurenholz,
    Joakim is very busy trying to finish version 6.
    What Controller software are you using?
    What Fanuc type does it f support?
    At present madCAM5 does not have Planar Roughing that is why roughing movements move everywhere when in a Rotary mode.
    However in a finishing cut it does support Planar Finishing.
    I have no issues with 4 Axis, however it is important that you use the correct Post Code.
    All Post Codes can be further modified to suit your needs and CNC software and machine more precisely (refer the Help Menu).
    You can cut along the X Axis or around the A axis depending on how you rotary head is set.
    For example I use Mach4 control software and have modified a Post to suit it and my machine.
    So it is important that you just do not use any Post process but use one that is closest to your Software and Machine.
    Regards,
    Mauri.

    Your model seems to have a cubic shape. Then I think it will work best with indexed milling. You are using 4-axis with the axis of revolution. If the axis of revolution is the same as your 4th-axis, it will not be any movements in Y.

    If you like, you can upload your model here and I will make some sample toolpaths for you.

    Hello Joakim and Mauri.

    Today I get better results in simulation. I take indexed 4-Axis Mode and rotate the part 4 times in 90degrees steps. I also use clipping planes and the roughing result looks good. (in simulation)

    The indexed mode is also the right way to generate the finishing toolpathes?
    I had think madcam rotates the A-axis independently and also moves the XYZ axes to work all sites in a rollover.



    ;o(((

    Whats the advantage of 4-axis in contrast to tighten my material on a table and rotate it manually when the Cam dont work with all the axis? In revolving mode it dont use Y and in indexing mode it dont use A.
    Other machines I see work in rollover the A-axis and do cuttings behind on all sides.

    I´m totally sad.

    I cant upload my file. The .zip is 10MB and the max size is 8.5

    Figurenholz, you need to discover the cloud. Set up a OneDrive account and you can just send a link to Joakim, and he can download the file. File size doesn't matter.

    Also, if you want to make screen captures, whether still shots or video, look at a product called Jing.

    https://www.techsmith.com/jing-tool.html

    These Techsmith tools are great, and Jing is free. Set up a ScreenCast account (free again) and you can share the videos.

    Take a look at SnagIt too. There is a minimal cost but it's worth every cent. There is not a day that goes by that I don't use it.

    Hello again.

    Many thanks to Joakim from sweden. He shows me in a video what I must do to create the passes. The way I go to my passes was nearly the same but the mistake between madCam and my machine comes later ;o)

    I create a file, then I postprocess it and in the postprocess window I edit the home postion. Here I can write 0,0,0 or 100,100,100
    The result in machine prview is still the same. The Flat end stand in a undefined postion into my stock ;o(

    Why its so?

    Also the 2 Test-toolpasses that comes from the right and left side of my material are in machining preview in mysterious positions and the rotation is in X0, Y0 Axle...

    I cant exlain it better because my english is bad.

    please see the video below.
