I purchased Bobcam wire and it has gone from them telling me they can modify a post processor in a couple weeks, into they can look at it 6-8 week after a month has passed (not pleased). Anyway now I have to modify and change the post on my own. It's not terribly difficult and if anyone has one for a Mitsubishi FX20 that would be great. But one thing I'm trying to understand is what benefits or differences are there to use G92 or G54 in programming for part setup to adjust the post accordingly.
I had a test program with G92 and am wondering what is the best practice. Another shop I know says they only use g92. But when running the test program if I don't set the relative and start points exactly the same then I can just be cutting air as I have since learned.
I have used g54 mostly on the mills it makes a bit more sense to me. If I set a x0 y0 as the corner of my part for example and set that as G54 with the machine move to the correct starting point based on the G54 value.
So if G54 is X0 Y0, and the start of the cut is at x1 y-1 will the machine move there first before starting the cut? If so what should my starting blocks look like?
Thanks
