lathe help please

lathe X2 mr2

 

hello, I programmed a part with about 12 operations and when I go to post it there are no Z moves. I started all over and about 3 or 4 operations in to it I posted it, and all was fine. so I finished it again, and agian no Z moves. What am I doing wrong? Very fustrated. after that I drew up a simple part tool pathed it and it was fine.

What plane are you working on?

A typical lathe should be the +D+Z plane

[Paul Felger]

gcode, +X+Y plane

 

gview: top

wcs: top

t/c plane: top

 

 

Just got X2 about a month ago, was using X before and never had this trouble. using X2 some jobs it will do this and others it wont.

Should be (Lathe Dia.) or (lathe rad.) depending on your lathe.

I still havent figured out my problem. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

I had a problem with outputs being x,y not x,z about 6 months ago. But it turned out to be the post would not update to X properly. With your problem your only getting x's, which, as you said, would be very frustating. Sorry, no help.

Do you have a .Z2G you can share? Someone can point you in a better direction with a file.
