Sharp SV-2414 Odd program behavior

[sportbikeryder]

I have a 2012 Sharp SV-2414 with Fanuc OI-MD control. Machine is new to me and I am new to Fanuc controls (I do have experience with Centroid controls, Fanuc based, but not the Fanuc control ideology itself).


Tool offsets set, G57 work coordinate system set. When the following simple facing program is started, the machine will sometimes run what appears to be properly until the first tool change, and then the machine appears to be using machine coordinates instead of the G57 WCS after the tool change. Z0 is at nearly maximum vertical travel and the Z0.6 command will sometimes result in the tool 0.6 from the part surface (G57 Z Zero) and sometimes it attempts to travel to the Z0.6 machine coordinate, which is above the maximum travel for the H85 tool length offset and will soft limit.

Restarting the same program several times will result in what seems to be random startup in Machine coordinates or using the G57 WCS, sometimes operating as expected for the first tool, and sometimes lifting the Z up and operating it at nearly the max Z height.

CAM is Fusion 360 and post is the generic Fanuc 3 axis post included with Fusion 360. Program is being operated from CF card.
Single block or full bore doesn't seem to make a difference in the way it is seemingly random in choosing the coordinate system.

Any input is appreciated,
John

I have the same machine. When the machine does a tool change .
It changes in g91 and it does not change back .
So after every tool change you have to put g90 in the next block.

I went into my toolchange macro and added a g49 and a g90 at the end of it fixed the problem

Exactly that. The toolchange macro is in G91 so just change your post processor if you're not comfortable doing it in your control.

Also, the lookahead options on these machines were sparse and implementation was odd. Make sure to use smoothing liberally for roughing toolpaths as Fusion likes to kick out a ton of lines of code, and I would regularly choke my SV-2412 with 0i-Mate-MB.

Thanks guys, this wasn't accepted to be posted for a few days and I figured out the g91 / g90 issue and was able to add it to the post itself. That said, I may go into the tool change macro and add it there as Kallam noted so it doesn't need the change in the post.

Rick Finsta I have an OI-MD control (2012) and it seems to handle the code fairly well as far as look ahead. I think the Mate and the B series was quite a bit slower than the "newer" D model. This control does have the "nano smooothing", although I have not yet turned it on or even checked to see if it is a parameter that can be always on, etc.
