Been making parts with my recently acquired DMG DMC103V with 840D control for a month or so. All is well except for one last problem. Z in G54 is exactly .0591" off.
In other words, if I setup a part and "scratch" to set the work coordinate system to 0 in Z at top of part, then run the part, after the program calls up G54 at beginning of program, the Z offset changes to exactly .0591 less.
If the program is paused, in the position window, the Z reading is correct. But if I reset/stop the program, the value indicated is exactly .0591 less than it should be. Ive been getting around this by touching off the part, then moving off the part and adding .0591 to the Z WCS. All the tools run at the correct height.
With the Z axis all the way against the upper limit the display reads guess?? .0591". I tried setting the password access to the highest level, "System" and resetting the base zero in Z at that position but that didnt change anything. Not a big deal but Id kinda like to fix it. Any suggestions?
