Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the world of EDMing. I just had a question about how/if it's even possible, to get the Mitsubishi FA10S to return U and V to zero before attempting to auto thread on a breakage during a cycle? It has a home point it moves off to, but as it stands I have to stop the auto thread and manually thread. Kind of defeats the purpose of having an auto-threading machine.

Thanks!

I think you have to shut off the thread at break point switch then it will go back to the last M20 and thread there.

It is moving to the M20, but it's not bringing U and V back to zero. The wire just keeps missing the lower flush cup.

Not yet. I'll try setting UV absolute to off.

If it matters, we typically pre tilt the wire for cutting carbide stick tooling. Should we not be pre tilting and just adding a u/v movement to the program?

Just got it figured out. It was because of the pre tilt of the wire. Just added a u move to the first rapid of the program, and all worked perfectly. Thanks for the advice!
