Mach Screens / Re: reversing "A" axis rotation on toolpath display?
« on: March 27, 2013, 12:39:05 PM »
I assume that you are refering to Baxis in you example as it is inline with Y SO your chuck is moving CCw?
OK now show the point of origin of your code is it lower left? IF so then B positive would be to the right which would be CW tool motion or CCW chuck motion. Facing the chuck. YES?NO?
NOW there IS no real standard for the placement of the chuck on rotarys I know just as many that run it on the left as on the right as A axis. the exception being the B where MOST run it outboard to clear the column (mills).
NOW as to physical Chuck rotatation IF I swap from left to right I must rev the direction of the chuck to maintain toolpath orientation.
Just a thought, (;-) TP
