Fadal Fixture Offset

[earlybirdmg]

Has anyone added Fixture Offsets at the end of a Fadal 88VMC program. The manual says to add FO #,X,Y,Z after the M30 but before the % sign. Tried it but error occured after control read the first FO line. The program uses subprograms so we tried adding FO lines after the last subprogram but got the error at the same place.

If anyone has any insigt it would be appreciated.

How I remember it:

N1 #FX1 = 0.000

N2 #FY1 = 0.000

N3 #FZ1 = 0.000

 

N4 #FX2 = 0.000

N5 #FY2 = 0.000

N6 #FZ2 = 0.000

 

etc.

And they should be ok anywhere in the program.

I can double check some old programs when I get home if you don't get it by then.

I tried your suggestion and the program transfered without an error. When I looked at the fixture offset table the values weren't there. I'm guessing they didn't get written into the table.

This may be archaic but should work.

 

R1 = 1.2345

R2 = 2.3456

R3 = 3.4567

G10 L2 P37 X+R1 Y+R2 Z+R3

From the book;

 

With G90

G10 L2 P5 X1.356 Y2.63 Z-.01 (This replaces the current value of fixture offset #5 with X1.356 Y2.63 Z-.01).

 

With G91

G10 L2 P5 X-1. (This subtracts one inch from the current X value of fixture offset #5).

I believe you are looking for an E word not an F word so E1, E2, E3...ect

just to make this question clear because i am slow. i run 15 faTALS (YES FATAL ALL DAY) what are you trying to do? are you doing sub program call ups with multi fixture offsets? ps type your reply slow for me.

Been a while for me too, but.......here's what I remember. I always put them at the start of the program right after the %

 

#E1X=0.0000

#E1Y=0.0000

#E1Z=0.0000

 

And for my inserted tooling (tools that I knew would be the same length)

#T1L=-26.3236 (1-1/4" SECO PLUNGE DRILL)

#T1D=1.25

etc.

 

And the code to send it all back was PU,3
