Hi all,
I seem to have an issue where the C-axis motion doesn't move smoothly in conjunction with any X and Y moves. It will hold the initial C Axis position until the last moment, stop, move the C-axis to the new value and then continue with the rest of the travel.
In the Mastercam simulation, it moves smoothly between the two positions whilst moving X and Y, so it's obviously how the post is producing the gcode.
I have attached a sample piece of code that shows the C-axis behaviour. Between lines 1089 and 1599 is where it should be moving C but it does not.
Does anyone know why this would be happening and how to fix it?
Thanks
Alex

Re: Smooth C Axis Motion
Alex,
You can talk with your reseller to see about something in the post, but likely it isn't something that can be corrected with a flip of the switch. Mastercam doesn't output any transition C motions to posting when the tool is vertical.
