Rotating B inside a loop command

robgs57
Question
I have a cylinder with 6 holes on the side, I program 1 hole and create a loop to do the other 5. My cmm head (Renishaw PH10M) starts at A90B-90. My cylinder is in the Z axis direction, I am working on some code to set the B rotation with a variable but no success can use some help if anyone knows of a way to solve this. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bob

  • You can use variables in every editable field, if you use the correct format. Blush Thanks for the correction, slesholdofthreep.

    As another neat example of variable usage, you can use variables in an alignment. You first create the alignment using a stand-in feature, since you cannot select variables in the alignment screen. Then, change your feature name to the name of a variable.

    I have a program that recognizes if a part is at a rough or finished state, and modifys the alignment to use a different datum stand-in feature depending on if the datum is present or not.

    Also, Rob, take heed of Matt's reply in your other post. If you do the paste with pattern right, it will add in your angles as long as they are created in the probe file.
