Fusion + Haas VF with trunnion issue

[cj133]

Hi all,

I'm kind of stuck.
I'm using a Haas VF3YT with a TR160 trunnion with DWO/TCPC enabled. I probed the trunnion and copied the MRZP settings to the micro variables section.
I have my machine setup in Fusion and best I can tell my axes all behave appropriately and I've had no issues running 3+2 stuff with the G254 command in the past (but the trunnion was pulled off until recently). Now I've put it back on and I'm trying to do G234 now and I'm struggling.

The problem I keep having is I'm trying to use the pencil tool path to engrave some letters on a concave surface and the A and C axes appear to work perfectly, but I'm milling a good 2 inches to the right of the part rather than where it should be. It seems like the X and Y axes aren't following the part rotation. I.E. if the part wasn't rotated 89 degrees it would be in the correct location.

I'm using the center of the trunnion platter as 0 and the top of the platter as Z zero and the jig bolted to the trunnion was milled using these so I'm confident my G54 is correct. It seems like TCPC isn't working?

When I post it doesn't zero the A or C axes and it calls G234 after it turns them, which according to the Haas website is wrong. However I changed it as shown below and it didn't seem to help anything. It still milling off to the right side of my part.

A sample of the code :

(Using high feed G1 F500. instead of G0.)
(T18 D=0.055 CR=0.0275 - ball end mill)
N10 G90 G94 G17
N15 G20
N20 G53 G0 Z0.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, I just can't figure out what.

I figured it out....
Complete brain fart on my part.

When I went to copy the info from the macro variable page to the machine settings I did it backwards and copied the old machine settings to the macro variable page.

I didn't think about it it until I was talking to someone about how you probe the trunnion and realized it was possible I messed up, so I redid it and sure enough. TCPC was working fine, based on the garbage I gave it.
