5 axis indexing, not swarf, multi surface etc.

permalink

Hello,

I'm doing a 5 axis indexing toolpath, using MX3, on a vertical mill with a indexer mounted on the right side of the table. When I post the toolpath I get b and c for my 4th and 5th axis, what I want is an A value for my 4th axis and B value for my 5th axis. Don't know if it's in my machine definition, control definition, post or something else. Also, if someone could tell me where in my post I can turn on the lock and unlock for my indexer.

Thank You,
rroberto
