Hi Mazakers,
I've attached a sample program I've written to test out M and G codes (I use millimeters). I'm not sure how G codes are supposed to work on Mazatrol but it seems to me that there is something wrong going on. According to my understanding, G0 Z-10 should move the turret 10mm in the home direction on the z axis from the program zero (as determined with the z-offset), and G0 Z0 should take the tool nose back to the program zero on the z axis. However, G0 Z-10 is moving the turret to the Z 159.798 position as seen in the photo. It doesn't seem like a inch-mm conversion thing. Is it ignoring the z-offset and calculating the numbers in cm instead of mm? Any suggestions or guidance? Thanks in advance.
