Need Help!- mastercam V9 5 axis post mazak

[alliedm]

I have taken a post editing course and have sucessfully configured the posts for my shops 3 & 4 axis machines. We purchased a trunion table machine and am trying to make the generic 5x post work.

The machine is a vcn510 with a trunion table and matrix control. The post would be very similar to a variaxis machine. If anyone has a variaxis post I could look at to help with axis definition and etc that would be very helpful. I am not asking for a free complete post (.psb & .pst which wouldnt work anyway), just the .pst file so I can look at the configuration parts.

I was looking for one, but I don't think anyluck on here specially with 5 axis. Do you have X sersion? Since you have experience you can make it.... work for 9, I know X version come with one. Regardless working one or not, you still ask for free.

Im not using X, im using V9. I have a generic 5X post but need help figuring out how to make the A and C axis rotations come out correct. There arent really good notes in the generic that explain whats what. Im asking to see how a post for a similar machine is configured so that I know how to configure my post... not the same as asking for a free working post. I am willing and would like to do the work myself.

Which axis is considered primary and which axis is considered secondary?

Also, how do you determine "Zero" and "Direction" for primary and secondary?

# Primary planeXY XZ YZ
#Secondary or XZ XY XY
#Secondary YZ YZ XZ
rotaxis1 = vecy #Zero
rotdir1 = vecx #Direction
rotaxis2 = vecz #Zero
rotdir2 = vecy #Direction
