Tool motion doesnt make sense per program - OSP7000

Hi Guys,

Still on the steep learning curve of CNC programming and operation but having fun (amongst the headaches).

I tested a program with machine lock on and it ran as expected.

I then test ran my next program for an almost identical part and I get a tool path that I cant explain.

It happens in the code highlighted green.

Instead of the tool moving 7mm in the -ve Z direction, it moves in the positive direction.

Can anyone explain this to me?


(On a side note, Ive started using the paint commands for animation etc and it seems that the zero points you specify for this are the z offsets set regardless of any 'in-program' VZSHZ commands. i.e. using VZSHZ before the paint command in the program does move the paint '0 point' to the new program '0' point.) (my code area in orange)


Thanks for any assistance all you experienced guys.

Iain.

G01 X49.16 Z3 are you saying the Tool arrives correctly here,
G01 X49.16 Z-4 then reverses direction here?

It should not, I suspect something is mis-interpreted.

I don't understand the question, sorry.

Why are you using the Z shift? Just touch off the Tool on the jaws and jog it back 15 mm and set zero.

Why are you using the DEF_WORK function, is this an IGF program? A lot of variables here that I'm not understanding, it seems that you're making it difficult for yourself. KISS.

See if it works without that garbage you inserted. DEF_WORK is a function of the Animations and VZSHZ is a function of work shift, so why do all that? For fun?

R

Remove the second x49.19.

Better to show the igf program, to learn what you've done fault.
