hello, experts in creo Are it possible to generate g-codes from the offset tool tip please check the picture.I want to use those codes for welding purposes
I've never used tool attachments in Creo, but when I look at the documentation it says the following:
"You can define a tool attachment, such as a right angle head, and use it in a Creo NC session. The attachment holds a cutting tool in a fixed, non-vertical position, to extend the capabilities of a 3-axis machine. Typical examples include machining of oil grooves in an engine block, or drilling holes in the side of a component."
This statement and the information it specifies as needed for definition seems to indicate that it is intended as a means of using a rigid extension like a 90 degree head attachment. Meaning the attachment is rigid and all angles of its orientation stay the same during use, no rotations or other change of orientation during the machining. Notice it also says "3-Axis", which I would infer indicates that this can't be used in a 5-axis machine. It sounds like you're trying to replicate the motion that one would get from a robot arm with software that is intended to drive a straight tool. If you're working with a greater than 3-axis machine, why not just buy or adapt a welding tip that is straight, so you could then just treat it like a standard tool?
