Hey Folks,
We have a VMC with 4th Axis (whose axis is parallel to X-axis). Machine can work simultaneously with all the 4 Axis -- X, Y, Z and B.
We recently had a change in drawing. We do shaft that used to have 14mm straight slot in it.
But now customer has added another 30[SUP]o[/SUP] slot and a radius R5 where these slots meet...A bit confused with programming. I can always tilt rotary 30[SUP]o[/SUP] but not sure how can I accomodate R5.
I wonder if I can do that properly with moving all the three axes - Y, Z and B simulataneously.
Attached the drawing. Drawing does have another bunch of few drill & tappings which needs to be done at a particular angle with centre axis; not shown here.
