To simplify working with rotary / wrapped machining, Aspire is supplied with a number of 'gadgets' to automate many of the common processes used in creating a job for rotary machining.

However, please note that we cannot guarantee to write a custom rotary post-processor for every individual requirement.Ĭreating a file for rotary / wrapped machining If, after looking at these resources you are still unsure of what needs to be done for your machine, please feel free to contact for help. You should also look at the Vectric forum (to see if anyone else has already configured a post for your configuration or one similar. If Vectric have not supplied as standard a post for your machine configuration please refer to the Post Processor Editing Guide accessible from the Help menu of the program for information on how to configure a post-processor and also look at the standard rotary posts Vectric supply. Under this folder (shown as C:\ProgramData\Vectric\\V in the example shown below, this will be different on different operating systems) copies of the wrapped post-processors are stored in a sub-folder called 05-Wrapped:Ĭ:\ProgramData\Vectric\ Aspire\V\PostP\05-WrappedĮxamining these posts may be helpful if you need to configure a post of your own. We also ship a copy of those post-processors in the Application Data Folder which can be accessed from the File Menu ► Open Application Data Folder. We include some wrapping post-processors in the default post-processor list as standard. This means it is impractical for Vectric to supply a pre-configured post-processor for every possible combination as standard. It is important to realize that there are a huge number of possible combinations of machine controller and axis orientations for rotary axis / indexers. Note: If your rotary axis is aligned along your Y axis you would choose the Wrap X Values (around Y axis) menu item.Īll the examples in this document will assume that the rotary axis is aligned along X.
