Re: Homing question

Ok, that makes sense. After I rebooted, the G28 brought it back to machine zero. Losing the steps is kinda what I figured happened. Just wanted to make sure. Since the wizard is set to limit switches, I couldn’t figure why it just wouldn’t continue to run till those tripped.
That’s for the input.

Homing question

Hi Folks, I inadvertently over torqued my Clearpath motors running a job. After I cleared the motor fault with the MSP I gave the machine a G28 MDI and it didnt even come close to coming to machine zero. I then powered the whole system down and back up again. When Acorn was opened, I hit the green b...

Re: Quick question on G43

Thank you very much. That answers a lot. Gives me some direction. I’ve been running some simple Fusion360 programs which I’ve had to modify a bit to get to work as far as tool changes (T1,..) Goibg to start to work the G41-42 in there now.
Thanks again

Quick question on G43

I’m pretty new to this so what I’m wondering is when I call for T1(tool 1) and the G43 for the tool offset H1, can I manipulate the tool diameter in the offset library to change a diameter of an interpolated bore let’s say in the program without changing the program? This would be accounting for too...

Re: Setting ref tool heights

Works as advertised! Proofed it out. Set the Z Ref tool in and get your number off the 123 block then put the new tool in and do the same routine. All the offsets are where they should be.

Take away: DONT RUSH THE SETUP! Proof the tool to back up its in the right place.

Thanks again everyone!

Re: Setting ref tool heights

Thank you Keith. You’re right. Couldn’t see the forest through the trees here. Good idea proofing the tool against zero.
I appreciate your patience with getting me out of the weeds here as well as everyone else’s comments.
