QUICK TIP: Enable 4th and 5th Axes in your Post Processor

Parameter Details:
actuator: Specifies the actuator type (ie. either "linear" or "rotational").
The default is "rotational".
table: Specifies whether the axis is located in the table or the head. The default is true for table.
axis: Specifies the axis vector as a 3-element array (e.g. "[0, 0, 1]").
[Axis rotates around X, Axis rotates around Y, Axis rotates around Z]
ex: A-axis rotating around the X-axis would be: [1, 0, 0]
offset: Specifies the axis offset as a 3-element array (e.g. "[0, 0, 25]").
The default is [0, 0, 0].
coordinate: Specifies the coordinate used in the ABC vectors (ie. "X", "Y", or "Z"). The given number will define the letter for the axis:
0 = “A”
1 = “B”
2 = “C”
Note: This is the only way to influence the axis letter for the output.
cyclic: Specifies that the axis is cyclic. Only supported for rotational axes.
Only used when a range is specified. The default is false.
range: Specifies the angular range for the axis in degrees as a 2-element array (e.g. "[-120, 120]"). You can also specify a single number to create an axis for an aggregate.
The default is unbound.
preference: Specifies the preferred angles (-1:negative angles, 0:don't care, and 1:positive angles). The default is don't care.
resolution: Specifies the resolution. In degrees for rotational actuator. The default is 0.

I can’t get my post processor to successfully post an nc program. I have this exact machine and used the same setting shown but still can’t get it

How do I enable my 4th axis if that part of the code is missing? It skips to the "if line.

My machine has 4th axis but all 4 axes cannot run simultaneously. any 3 axes (xyz or xya or yza or xza) can run simultaneously at a time. how to edit a post so that it uses 4th axis but outputs code in such a way that only 3 axes run at time ?

Nice job. Visual Studio Code is great.

Hi does anybody know how to tell this exact post-processor to offset my Y and Z axis when and only when my A axis change from zero to another value within it's range ?, because all of my operations work just fine, but when A axis is moved the system coordinate seems to change. Thank you

If we put true instead of false what will read

Hi can you help me to solve hurco post processor problem
