Two important Fusion 360 Preferences tips.Adding Colour Coding to Fusion 360 Assemblies.A really helpful dialogue with Shannon McGarry at Fusion cleared up that issue so it must be something else.Īfter some experimenting I discovered that you have to set the axis of rotation in the post processor dialogue options list. I thought at first it was because I was only using a Fusion hobbyist licence and that 4th axis maybe was not possible. The model had a rotational repeat pattern but while I could run a single op code, if I tried to run the rotational pattern the post processor came up with an error message and would not output any code. I had some comms with John and he gave me some pointers. I drew up a simple model in Fusion but could not get it to produce working GCode. I watched John Saunders video on the MicroArc and how to do 4th axis programming in Fusion 360.
I switched on the 440, enabled the 4th axis in PathPilot and I could control the A axis from the PathPilot screen. As ever there were good clear instructions from Tormach. It took me about one hour to fit the new stepper driver and additional wiring.
Quite amazing considering the difficult times we are experiencing at the moment. Having placed my order with Tormach it took exactly 7 days for DHL to arrive on my doorstep with the shipment. The MicroArc wasn’t a low cost buy and because 4th axis was not around when my 440 was originally shipped, I needed a fitting upgrade kit as part of the order. Probably the best way to get a good idea of this product is to watch John Saunders’ video. I have waited 4 years for this to be available and did not hesitate to put in my order to Tormach for one of the new MicroArc drives. We are appreciative our mentor Vijaykumar Kudtalkar Sir for his steadfast assistance, willingness to impart all of their wisdom, and success in guiding us.At last a 4th axis drive for the Tormach PCNC440 ! As a team, we did a fantastic job of coming back after the competition day issues. Udaya Ravi sir, for being by our side constantly and sharing their knowledge with us. We appreciate the support of captain Mare Gouda and the entire team, as well as the faculty advisors Mr. We learned a lot from the experience of creating an automobile from the ground up.
Working with Team Aryabhata has been a tremendous adventure over the past two years. (First place in the SAE REEV Virtual round) Won third place in the SAE REEV Dynamic round.
