origin shift

[Houseman303]

Can CNC12 recalculate the position of the workpiece origin when pivoting the A axis (swivel table)? For example, I would like to set the workpiece origin with G54. In the G code, the origin is moved to Y with G52. When positioning the A axis, the origin should follow the center of rotation of the A axis. Parameters 116 and 117 are defined.

I use for all my tilting table work the same WCS right at the center of the A axis and end of the table.

There is no need to shift something when the table is turning...

Uwe, that may be enough for a knife like this, but I know what I'm doing. 3 Side machining or reworking of a finished part requires precise probing of the workpiece origin. I hope Centroid sees the benefits for 4 and 5 axis retrofits equipped with A and C axis.

That was only an example, I do all my four axes work with one origin that is probed exactly.

For reworking parts I probe its position relative to the WCS and use this to place the model in fusion in the same position.

There is no problem to machine it on all sides, or three sides on a table.

But yes, Centroid is made for AXYZ with tilting head, though it will work with C axis on the table also if CAM is set up for this.
