I can get the spindle to go to the work offset point but have to add x0 y0 Z-1.0
However when the program goes to G43 H01 , Z goes positive (up) the tool offset length, I dont know why????
well thats the weird thing, what i cant figure out...
g54 is -12.xxx I think x is 7.xxx ...y -8.xxx
My tool change is at 0.00 . I say that because I zero the machine on start up and if i use the command section i can change tools. ATC works fine.
tool offset for t1 is 4.250 ...so hits line g43 ,up it goes 4.250
Does this have anything to do with g90/g91 ??
Do i have g90/g91 in the wrong place??
Note: I am "copying" the beginning code from a program that was used on this machine years ago. I assume it worked??
I'll post the code tomorrow, 12 am here now...lol and this is my first CNC, so learning......
Ok attached a picture of the program...
All is good until it hits the first g01
instead of going down .500 it goes 1.000????
Z does stop .500 above the workpiece. in the g43 line so im going an additional .500 after it reaches z workpiece zero
if i change the amount it still goes down two to three times the distance entered....
Running the second G01, it does move the 2.0 exactly
What up with Z being so stupid???
OK i get it.
When you are doing a g54 thing z is always referenced off the "Z0" of the work piece...right?
Went back and did your line of code all works
"""Are you saying that it moves down 1.000" from where the tool stops at Z0.5 in the G43 Block,"" Yes
So this g90/91 thing has me a bit confused i understand 90 means to work off machine cord and 91 means to go to the next spot from where you are...
So...i guess im just not sure when you use either one in the program, course all im doing right now is copying stuff from folks....LOL
Sems you start with 90 to get the machine to "zero" then you switch to 91 to make the moves???
Bobw post came in while writing...I think im getting a better grasp ....
So are my first two lines correct?? Do i have a safety line???
Bill
thks again
