Problem
Readings across the part have a large error.
Solution
The tool length and rotary table location are not matched. You must rerun the journal file while you adjust the rotary table center. Remember that the system clears and then reloads the rotary table data from CncMachineData/<machine name>/rotab.dat when it selects and restores the machine.
If the results improve with center adjustment, try to recalibrate the rotary table. If thermal drift is an issue, you can include a local recalibration of the spindle length (Z) in the PC-DMIS measurement routine by measuring a known location.
Problem
The path goes the wrong way
Solution
Clockwise/Counterclockwise is wrong in the rotary table setup.
Problem
Motion is not generated for the axis
Solutions
Enable the rotary table in PC-DMIS.
You must enable the rotary table option in your LMS license or portlock.
Correct the Axis code in the dialog box that defines the machine in the NC Server application.
For information on the NC Server operation, see the NC Server documentation.
Problem
Rotary table results do not track table angle for Fanuc controls
Solution
Verify whether the wrong table angle is being included with every point in the journal file. If it is, position the table at a known location and write a simple MDI measurement routine to read the location.
#530 = # 5004
If the value of the arbitrary temporary variable #530 is wrong, review the controller / machine documentation to find the right address. #5004 is typical for the A axis, but the axes may not be linearly mapped against controller addresses. Change the value in the machine definition, click Save All, and restart the NC Server application.
