X0, Y0 at program beginning

[edmBosto]

Does anyone know if there is a machine definition setting that would bring the machine at X0, Y0 at the start of the NC program.

It's just for visualization when the program starts to run.

Or is this something that must be changed in the post?

So I must be looking for G0 X0 Y0

right after M140 MB MAX

Thank you in advance!

 

code:

---

 TOOL CALL 5  Z S20000

210 M03

220 M40 ; VACUMM ON

230 M36

240 CYCL DEF 32.0 TOLERANCE

250 CYCL DEF 32.1 T0.002

260 M140 MB MAX

270 L X0.4827 Y-1.3171 FMAX

280 L Z0.25 FMAX

The machine is a Mikron high speed mill

edmBosto,

You can turn on Reference Point on the Toolpath Parameter page and set the approach to 0,0,0 be sure to turn off Retract.

I see. I can also chage that in my machine definition or on just a toolpath operation that I import such as a face milling operation.

I like the results when I select no change when all the toolpath ops are selected.

 

Thank you as I'll need to give this a try when I can. The code looks good though.
