Fanuc Z offsets Incorrect?

[GoldPhive]

Hi all, new here.

I am having an issue with a Kitamura MyCenter 3Xi(vmc) with Fanuc 16i-M controller. for some reason when i set my tool length offset, the numbers are coming out wrong every time and the tool wants to go below the table im sure it is something i am doing wrong or a setting that is incorrect. I normally run HAAS VMCs.

Please Help!

Well:

1: what numbers are you putting in your tool offset?

2: what numbers do you have for your work offset (g54 or other)

3: Post some code so we make sure your program isn't somehow to blame.

Let us say you are using tool number 1 with offset number 1.
Execute G00 G43 H01 Z100 (a safe height) in the MDI mode.
Now, without pressing the RESET key, jog the tool to your Z0 position.
Does it not display Z0?
If no, then there is some mistake in your offset procedure.
