Align RT to Surface

[[Ni...]]

Hi everyone,

First of all: the text has been translated - sorry for any mistakes...

On the rotary table, I have a part with 12 x 30° faces around its circumference. The plane rotation is one of these planes. 
After manual alignment, the table rotates to the probed surface, which is parallel to the X-axis. 
However, when I start the program using the pre-calibrated start system, the table rotates to 0°, and the surface is then not parallel to the X-axis.

What do I need to do to ensure that the table aligns the surface parallel to the X-axis even when using the pre-calibrated start system?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards

Do you have PCM? If so:

 

getRTOffset() Rotary Table Offset value



getRTPosition() Latest position of Rotary table



getRTPositionCMM() Latest position of Rotary table in machine coordinate-system



rtPositionOffset() Define offset for RT (angle in radians)



rotateAbsolute()



rotateReference()



goHome(vector) Rotates RT to specified vector



rtIsActive() Boolean value, Is rotary table active? true/false



rotateWithDriveFree() Boolean value, Is rotary table active? true/false

there is also an option to 'align to feature' which should do it for you.

I usually select Normal from Feature and Base Alignment Axis. On the Normal from feature, I use a copy of the Planar Rotation from my base alignment.

Thanks everyone!

I think the Normal from Feature with a copy will be good for us.
