HE01520: WHEN A SPECIFIC ANGLE IS INPUTTED, DIRECTION OF "MACHINE HEAD" I S NOT CORRECT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 1. Open the "Process1.CATProcess" file. (WB : AMG)
  2. Double click "Sweeping.1."
  => "Sweeping.1" panel is displayed.
  3. In this panel, click an upward arrow.
  => "Tool Axis" panel is displayed.
  4. Change "Machine rotary axis" into active.
  5. Change "Display tool" into active.
  6. Change "Display machine" into active.
  7. Input "-45deg" to "Axis A:".
  8. When a "-86deg" is inputted from a keyboard as a value of
  "Axis C:",
  although a Tool axis is correct, direction of a Machine Head
  is mistaken.
  < Notes 1 >
  Do not use "Spin button" !!
  If "Spin button" is used, the problem may not occur.
  < Notes 2 >
  -86deg is the examples to explain behavior. Fault may occur
  similarly except this angle.
  < Expected result >
  Even if it inputs the value of the Axis C from a keyboard,
  direction of a Machine Head should not be reversed.
  

Local fix

• empty
