We're adding capability to our shop and I'm getting myself up to speed with the new options available to me. We're not under maintenance so talking to my reseller isn't a valid option.
I know I've seen demos of machines rough milling cam like shapes with a facemill using just X and C interpolation but cannot seem to find a way to do it in Gibbs. Using our fanuc 18T mill-turn post posts the code with Y moves which our machine can't do.
It's possible these were hand coded examples or done with Esprite or similar but I thought I'd check to see if anyone was doing it in Gibbs.
