Fusion tool height

[AccelWelding]

I have my new All in One DC up and going. I think I put cnc 11 on my registration but it is 12.

Anyways I set up my tool library, and tool heights work fine on intercon and cannned programs, but when I do a post from fusion my tool heights are

are wrong, (way off) The fusion forums say that fusion doesn't control tool heights and I understand that, it just post H2 in the g code, but I don't think

its a Centroid issue because tool heights compensate fine from intercon programs.

Any insight???

Do the programs you post from Fusion include a G43 code, in addition to the H number?

You need to set up the tools to provide a tool number and tool offset when defining your tools in the fusion library.

Sounds like you have your tools as tool offset#2

There is another post on this forum explaining the same thing.

At first I tried with all numbers the same. T1 H1, T2 H2, etc that didn't seem to work. I went back and changed ( in fusion ) everything to T1 H1,

T2 H1, T3 H1 etc. That obviously didnt work. I used tool 4 to set work zero and i figured everything else would follow. The one tool worked when i

used it with the T4 H1 setting but was way to deep, when i did T4 H4 setting. Here is a bit of the code. This portion worked for just the one tool (4)

Im sure its something im doing i just dont know what yet.

Tool height adjust correctly when i do an intercon program.


N30 T4 M6
N35 S3000 M3
N40 G54
N45 M7
N55 G0 X0.1894 Y-3.2148
N60 G43 Z0.4 H1

T1 H1
T2 H2
T3 H3

Is a pretty standard way of doing it unless you have an oddball reqyurement. Since this is your own equipment that is how I would recommend doing it.

If you have T3 H3 in the tool settings, and the post shows T3 H1, there is an error with the post.

What post are you using?

Im using the Centeoid post in fusion.

Im going to try to re-zero my tools and try again.

When i use an intercon program the code looks the same when

it calls for a tool change and a “h” number, ex. T2 H2, T3 H3

Maybe it was coincidence that it worked on the intercon

program. I’ll try again and see what the result is.

Understand that the output from Intercon and the post from Fusion 360 are in no way related at all. They are 2 different methods to do the same thing (write g-code). The only relationship to the tool library is via the Height offset callout in the post and the height offset set in the centroid control.

Intercon is outputting the correct offsets, there seems to be something wrong with your post or your tool library in Fusion 360, but Fusion 360 has nothing to do with your control at all, merely the settings in the CAM and the post settings.


Post a screenshot of your tool library settings, and a screenshot of the G-code that is created with Fusion.
