Fanuc 0-M auto measure

[jeff]

Our Fanuc let's us auto measure by holding EOB and hitting Z,then input.

The problem is that it uses the Relative position as its point of reference,and if the Z value isn't the same as the Z Machine value,the wrong # will be input.

On the offset page,the relative position is up.

My question is....

Is there a parameter that will allow me to have the MACHINE position show in the offset page?

If I remember correctly as you page thru your position pages when you get to the machine position page, leave it and go to your offset page. I think this will give you the readout you are for which you are looking.

[jeff]

I just tried that,didnt work.

Any other ideas?

Jeff,

 

I'm sorry I can't help you, because I'm dumb when it comes to offsets etc.

 

Could you tell me how to re-set things like Relative Position to "0"

 

Program and total time counts etc.

 

Thanks in Advance

I seem to remember something about this, please go to your parameter manual and go to parameters related to tool offset this is a parameter that discusses tool length offset values.

I dont know if you have the small or full size keypad. From the relative position screen press the X or Y or Z then press CAN theis will clear the relative value.

As far as the part counter press P then CAN for run time press R then CAN.

George,

 

Thanks a million. Thats awesome.

 

I bought this machine used from Wisconsin.

 

I have no User Manual for the control.

 

Again, Thanks.

[jeff]

The only thing that MAY be what I am looking for is Parameter #63 which reads:

1: Machine coordinate system is displayed to meet the input system.

0: Not displayed.

 

Typical of 99% of parameter books, this is pretty vague.

I have a macro that I use, when I set my tools I call up this program. Touch the tool off to a 2" block on the table and then press cycle start and it will add 2" (as per the value I specified in a variable) and input this machine position value in the offset. Email me if you'd like a copy of it.

I have two fanuc 0-M controls that I use this on.

[jeff]

Matt,I sent you an email.

THX!

thanks heavy

I was operating this Fanuc O-M cnc mill m/c (Feeler) came across this Auto measure TLM.When set my tool mat(Alu), using endmill mill of little bits set the relative Z to "o". When wanted to set the auto measure it link to the relative & was not tally with the M/C "Z" reading. Quite dangerous it will lead to tool crashed.Previously company using Mori seiki ,when you want set the TLM is in another page not offset page & M/C Z reading will not link to the relative Z reading.Don need to worry so much as long morning start m/c do a home return X,Y, Z. That all.But now using this Fanuc O-M M/c , home return must make sure Relative & M/C Z reading must be O. Kind of weird.
