Were just about ready now to run this machine, figured the bugs etc.. On programs that i load the machine hits the hard stop at the top of the x axis like it does not know where it is.. It is a absolute encoder machine so it "kind of" knows.. Here is the problem.. The coordinates in this column from the pic attached here with my dirty finger, are at zero, and when i change them it changes the position of the machine.. The other operator said that -11.4 drilled on center, its even written with a sharpie on the machine.. That is no longer center.. I ran a coaxial indicator and tried to change these figures for the drill holder i will use to get it to read 11.4, but i dont think that is right.. its prob an offset or something.. Does any fanuc expert here know how to set up the machine to know where it is.. machine is only supposed to read a max of .19 positive in x but now goes a few inches that way... is this the right area to work on?
thank you .. Really lost here and need this machine up and running parts.. its a FANUC 18i-tb
