I am a novice working with a Haas VF2SS and I'm having an issue with using the G43 command and the tool offsets. The machine has a Renishaw OTS that I am able to set the tool offsets with, including a OMP40 (probe). I then use the probe to set the work offsets in G54. If I run
G54 G0 G90 X0 Y0 Z0
the probe goes straight to the corner I have set as the origin on the work piece. If I change to tool 2 and then try and use G43 because the tool is shorter than the probe
M06 T02
G54 G0 G90 X0 Y0
G43 H02 Z0
it goes well below the top of the work piece. If I don't use the G43 command for tool 2
M06 T02
G54 G0 G90 X0 Y0 Z0
the tool stops above the work piece by the length difference between the probe and tool 2.
This happens with all of the tools. I know I am missing something with how the offsets are calculated, but I have not been able to figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.
