MP 301 - Video-11 - 5X PP AUG 2017 DAY 4 Part 1

This 5-Axis Mill Post Processing Class, covers how to modify the Generic Fanuc 5X Mill Post. This Post supports any 5-Axis Mill or Router, by configuring the internal variable switches. It will support Head/Head (Gantry), Table/Table (Trunnion), and Head/Table (mixed-mode) Machines. It also supports Nutating style machines, where the two rotary axes are not mutually perpendicular. Nutating machines typically mount the 2nd rotary axis at either a 45 or 50 degree angle, relative to the axis centerline of the 1st rotary axis.

Hi Colin, when I try turning off this post block "psof_tlchg_blck" and replace it with my own position codes, all X Y Z coordinates of the toolpath are disappeared. Do you know what caused that, any secret thing behind that post block?

[@colingilchrist6468]

There are only specific blocks in the 5-Axis Post that are called by the PSB file. You can't replace them, unless you want to completely write your own math functions to calculate the output you need. If you are trying to support Dynamic 5-Axis codes, I recommend you just purchase a Post that supports these features. Or get really, really good, at Linear Algebra.
