Hi,
I have the T2 mazatrol primer manual and it runs through how to program a basic part. But it doesn't cover setting up the chuck and tooling.
I think I have the tooling setup worked out (but will welcome any advise on tooling) but I can't work out the chuck setup. I'm using a collet chuck and on chuck data it only shows the jaws for a normal chuck.
And when I run simulate or trace it doesn't include the tool offset for some reason, although it is in the program.
This screen shot shows the left hand vertical redline on the z but as you can see the tool is about 5mm away from the face of the collet chuck.
So I need to know where I put the offsets in for the collet chuck.
Thanks.
