Tool setter positioning

[jojo]

Hi. I’m using the mfunc6_clint macro.

There’s a part in the program where the tool moves to the fixed position sensor. It goes to x0,y0. I thought the settings for the position was in the wizard. But no matter what I set it to, it always goes to x0,y0. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

You can use G28 / G30 / G30 P2 / G30 P3 and set to be any position you like.

Navigate as follows from main menu F1 Setup / F1 Part / F9 WCS Table / F1 Return. You now choose 1 of the 4 Return points (to match Clint's macro) and enter the appropriate co-ords remembering they are Machine Co-ords NOT WCS.

Tip: position the spindle at your desired position and ensure you have Machine Co-ords selected on the DRO - If WCS is displayed just hit ALT + D simultaneously.

Thank you for the reply. I’ll give that a try when I get back to my shop.

Clint’s macro uses g30 p2. Following ligelo’s advice, I changed p2 to the correct coordinates and it works as expected. Thanks again for your help!
