    Default DMS 3 Axis Gantry run 5 Axis code?

    I a programming for DMS 3 and 5 axis gantries using Catia and posting with CIMPro. The post processor posts out the same code for a 3 axis and a 5 axis. If it is to run on the 3 axis machine, then the code needs to be edited to remove all of the B0 and C0 calls.
    I know it is possible to have two separate posts, one for the 3 axis and one for the 5 axis, but it would be preferable to run the same code on both machines.

    My question is this: Does anyone know of a way to run GCode on a Fagor 8065 controller and have it ignore a B or C axis call if it does not have those axis's configured? It there a was to configure the machine parameters to no throw an error when it reads B0 or C0?

    Default Re: DMS 3 Axis Gantry run 5 Axis code?

    Hi,

    sorry, but i think no. You have to make a note for this axis ( like this G1 X0 Y0 Z0 ;B0 C0).or delete it.

    If you have it in a code machine will be read it always and in a case 3 ax machine, drive control say you that you have many axis on a line (or something similar)

    I would personally solve this by a user application that would remove the rotary axes after it was generated.

    Postprocessors, VBA macros, .NET programming.
