O/T G54.1

[Hardmill]

Where are the x & y coords. defined when using

G54.1 ???

 

Would it be on the same line that the G54.1 is

called out.

 

PEACE

[Travis_Buchanan]

Same as g54,g55,g56...ect.

 

Dont forget to spec which one to use.

 

G54.1 P01

[Hardmill]

Do you specify a distance from the orig. G54

to the new (G54.1, G54.2).

What separates it from the G54 to create additional

offsetts??

What i'm looking to do is set up 24 parts per

pallet and don't want to inc. shift prog.

G54.1 P01 is an offset just like G54. They are from the machine home (usually). They work exactly the same. The XYZ distances are specified in the offset table. The same as G54.

 

I guess the next question is...

Does your machine/control support extended offsets (G54.1 P##)?

[Hardmill]

Thanks mike

Thats what I was looking for.

I don't have any additional offsetts showing

so I guess it does'nt support it.

 

Anyone got Fanuc's Phone# ???

Thank you guys

MC starts the program by aligning its G54 with the machine's workpiece zero [it's G54] - which it alligns from its machine zero.

 

I use G54 for most files, and a few others for parts that we have a set home for. I believe i use G56 [not that it makes any difference]. I just change MC's work offsets to match the machine's work coorinate its using for that particular file.

 

EDIT: I guess you already knew that, oops....G54.1, yeah nevermind my above "instructions".

This is why i love macro's we have the extended offsets but i only use them if i need to, mostly because i dont like picking up offsets when i can calculate them out after picking up one offset.

I use ONLY G54.1P1 through P47 (P48 defines the Centerline of Rotation and top of pallet which is a constant).

Oh and 1 888 FANUC US is the #

But that may be a machine option and not a control option.

[Jayson Kramer]

Mike he is playing with a Yasda with a Fanuc control, I think its a 21i control

[Hardmill]

Hey jay,

How you doing buddy.

Its a 16i-MB control.

 

PEACE

[Hardmill]

Just talked to fanuc.

For a SMALL fee we can get 48 offsetts,

We'll probably order it tommorrow.

 

Thanks for your time gentlemen.

Oh you too Jay
