On a Mazak Nexus 700D-II VMC using eia, The programmer has the X0. on the wrong side of the part (the free tolerance side instead of the datum side).
The programmer's programs are never to print and will create scrap parts or break tools, so I can't just ask him to set the other face as X0. and repost the code because I'm not using his program, I'm using an extremely modified version of his program that corrects his mistakes, uses different tools, has the previous (recently retired) operator's notes, etc.
I have a renishaw probe. The probe is able to modify work offsets so there must be some way to edit a work offset in g code.
I want to probe the correct (Datum) face and have the g-code automatically shift the new work offset by X-2.5
So far I've only found G52 which is modal, but I want to directly modify the G54 coordinate like the Renishaw probe does.
Does anyone know how to do this?
