Re: Before Attending Machine Sim Class ... ????

Hi Sibi,

I always try to find out as much as I can on my own, before attending a class. I get more out of it that way.

Might want to create a list of your machines. Have a list of things, like multispindle issues, 90 head, subprograms, specific controls, questions on things you want to do, challenges.

Think about 2 points.
Zero on the table, Zero on the head. Lining them up.
Where is Program Zero on your machine? where is Home.
A mazak 3 axis, Z0 is all the way up, but on an gantry where is Z Zero?
What is the Z on an gantry when the Z is a maximum limit up? 30? 42.25?

Tool tip or pivot point?

How do you want to establish program Zero? G54?
or a g-code +setting+ tables+ program Zero?

A good file to look at is samples\cinci_3_spindle_gantry_5ax.usr
go to word address M6, and look at active tool

Finaly, take a look at this:
