In the wizard there is the travel limit under axis configuration. some questions: 1) are we talking about machine coordinates or work coordinates? 2) are these number travel distance or position? 3) if this be a distance .. distance from where? My immediate task is set a "soft limit" for Z...

Thanks.... You guys and great

Yet another silly question to test your patience. After I run a the facing program with "tool 2".... the DRO shows Z values consistent with the tool2 z heights that the program was run with. I had stopped the program before it finished. The screen show T2 H--. How do I get back to T0 or th...

I can see in the wizard the reload option. Thanks Still …. suppose I do not want to load a new job.. I just want to cancel the job and end up with the screen I started with. Do I have to reboot to do this? Perhaps we are supposed reboot and save the startup screen as a file call "fresh Start&qu...

This is truely a dumb question and ask for you patience. In CAM I go to setup/ICN /file /Load and I choose one of the existing sample .ICN files under c:\incon|. I post the file. The file loads... fine I do not want to run this file. I now want to close it out. For the life of me see no way to close...

Is there a way to generate "remember position" and "return to position" commands. For example if I probe the four corner of a square part can I remember those positions and return to them without having to re-probe the part?

Ok both position set to Open. No change. Probe trip on fresh startup

Ok I have the turn count back to its "book values" Probe problem is the same

Input 6 and 7 have been removed. Machine still starts up with probe trip. Report attached. The odd steps per rev is a carryover technique from my bad Mach4 experience. In Mach 4 there is no way to compensate for error in the ball screws so I measure the distance along the length of 4 inch gauge bar ...

I had tried it both way and it makes no difference. I was trying to setup the probe as tool 1 and did a z ref when things went south. New report attached. Thanks for your patience
