New page

=Fusion Setup=
==WCS==
The work coordinate system X axis must be along the rotary axis center.
[[File:Fusion Rotary WCS Setup.png|left|thumb]]

==Machine Type==
Pick "Autodesk Generic 4-axis (A Table)"

[[File:Fusion_Machine_Library_4Axis.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Machine_Library_4Axis.png]]
==Post==
Download the following post: https://github.com/atwatsoniii/AsmblyLagunaRotary/blob/main/Fusion/Laguna_IQ_Turner_Asmbly.cps

In the Fusion CAM workspace, go to '''Manage → Post Library → Local'''. Click the import button at the top. Select Laguna_IQ_Turner that was downloaded from above. You can now use this post in your NC programs as normal. Units must be in millimeters, just like the normal Laguna post.
==Toolpaths==
===Multi-Axis Menu===
This requires the machining extension. Rotary Parallel is good for a lot of cases. It can do any kind of complex geometry. In the multi-axis tab, make sure that Rotary Axis is "Setup X axis", and Rotary Origin is "Setup WCS Origin".

[[File:Fusion_MultiAxis_Rotary_Settings.png|268px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_MultiAxis_Rotary_Settings.png]]

In the passes tab, there are options for how the rotary passes are done:

[[File:Fusion_Rotary_Passes_Options.png|268px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Rotary_Passes_Options.png]]
===Rotary Pattern===
Does not require the machining extension. This is an indexing operation, inside of which you can use 2D toolpaths. Start the pattern by selecting Pattern from the Setup menu.

[[File:Fusion_Circular_Pattern_Setup.png|260px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Circular_Pattern_Setup.png]]

Under the pattern operation you can add 2D toolpaths:

[[File:Fusion_Pattern_Toolpath_Browser.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Pattern_Toolpath_Browser.png]]
===Wrapped 2D===
This takes a normal 2D toolpath and wraps it around a cylinder. A limitation is the toolpath cannot go all the way around and meet where it began. It either must be a spiral or slot of some sort. Only certain 2D operations support wrap.

[[File:Fusion_Wrap_Machining_Type.png|446px|link=Special:FilePath/Fusion_Wrap_Machining_Type.png]]
=Machine Setup=
==Position Rotary==
Position the Rotary along the X axis. Use the dog holes to make sure the Rotary is aligned to the X axis. Secure using screws.

Plug in the rotary into the receptacle which is on the side of the control box close to the floor.

[[File:Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png]]
==Rotary Controls==
The rotary axis is referred to as either the "C" or "A" axis on the control. Use "C" on the control to move the rotary axis. To zero the rotary axis, select "ZC→0" and select "A".
==Workholding==
For workholding, you can turn a tenon on your stock and grab the stock in the chuck. There are internal and external chuck jaws to handle various stock sizes. There is also a faceplate, which you can secure to your workpiece using screws. If you do this, make sure you will not machine into the area where the screws are.

[[File:Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Positioned_On_Machine.png]]

[[File:Rotary_Machining_In_Progress.png|624px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Machining_In_Progress.png]]
==Clearance==
Install the tool bit and verify clearance. Make sure that the bit can clear the highest parts of the rotary — usually the faceplate or the belt.

[[File:Rotary_Clearance_Check.png|442px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Clearance_Check.png]]
==Zeroing==
===XY Axis Zero===
Align Y axis to the centerline on your part. Ideally use a tool bit with a point for accuracy. If not accurate, your machined diameters will be oversized.

Move to your X axis zero on your part. When selecting this, take care that the toolpath will not hit the chuck, faceplate, or center.

Press "XY→0".
===Z Axis Zero===
The Z zero should be set up to be the middle of the chuck. This is 65mm from the metal base of the rotary.

First, use the Z-touch to touch off the base:

[[File:Rotary_Z_Touch_Off_Base.png|442px|link=Special:FilePath/Rotary_Z_Touch_Off_Base.png]]

[[File:B5X_Controller_Z65mm.png|442px|link=Special:FilePath/B5X_Controller_Z65mm.png]]

Then, move the Z axis to 65mm, and zero the Z axis.
===C / A Axis Zero===
Use the C buttons to rotate the axis to your desired start point, if needed. Zero by using "ZC→0" and select the A axis.

-While Shop Area Leads are not required to have expert-level knowledge in their designated shop area (although we love when they do!), they do need to have some depth of knowledge.  It's not about being the smartest person in the shop.  It's about being knowledgable and interested enough to learn what you don't know and lead other stewards in your shop area to maintain the space.
+General volunteers earn a free month of membership for twelve hours of volunteer work. Being a shop lead is an active role that requires consistent, meaningful contribution. Leads are expected to contribute considerably more than 12 hours per month, benefiting your space on an ongoing basis. As a shop lead, you'll be responsible for shaping both the physical shop area and the policies surrounding it. Without the "ear to the ground" that comes from consistent volunteer effort, it's hard to get a real sense of what's actually best for the space and the members who use it.
-The Executive Director has the authority to make any appointment they see fit.  These basic requirements are used as a guide:
+Teaching classes is not required and does not count toward lead duties. Leads are not on-call and are not expected to be in the space every day.
-* Asmbly Member who shares our goal to empower and inspire creatives
+If you anticipate an extended absence or a period where you cannot meaningfully contribute, communicate that to the Facilities Manager proactively. A month without involvement and without explanation is a signal that this role may no longer be the right fit.
