I had an odd one just happen.
A job that was pronounced ready to roll at end of the day yesterday does not run today. I have a simple 2 tool lathe job set-up. I got everything dialed in and called it a day.
Today I fire up the machine and go to run the first part and now my tools are waaaaayyy off in both X and Z. They both seem to be off a similar amount. About .625" roughly by eye. If I had let it rip I would have had a pretty good wreck on my hands.
I brought T1 down to see how that matched up and that was also off. T1 has not changed in over a year. I used T1 to machine the fixture and all was well.
I restarted the machine twice to see if it was a crazy alignment problem.
Same result.
Oddly I can bring an empty boring socket down to X0 in machine coordinates and it is visually aligned.
Any idea what the hell happened here and how to I get it back?
The machine is a Hardinge Talent 852 with a Fancu OiTc control.
I'm stumped.
