Setting up rotating axis
Hi,
I have been using the VMC 2600 in my work for a few years for milling jobs and I'm now looking to try out the rotating axis. I plugged it in but don't seem to be getting any response from it. Just wondering if there's maybe a driver to be installed? I've tried running a program in fresh air well above the chuck but the it moves on the x and y for a few minutes then just homes again. Any help on this would be appreciated,

Thanks,

I've not used 4th axis but in VR milling I have seen a tick box for IV axis and various settings. You would need to go into the machine settings menu.

Yes that is correct. It needs to be switched on in VRMilling.

If you disconnect from the machine & go to settings & then setup machine parameters then go to the machine capability tab & down to IV axis & set it to 1.
