Changing from G54 to G55 or any other

[Robert Ouellette]

I everyone. I have been just looking for a while now but I have a question for all who can help. It is really simple. but i am having brain freeze. where in MC do you specify what wcs (g54, G55, G56...) to use.

 

I told you it was an easy one..

Open an operation you want to change, on the Tool parameters page, click T/C plane.. it's on the left towards the bottom.

if your post is the mpfan.pst (Generic Fanuc post), changing your work offset will change the WCS value.

 

work offset 0 = G54

work offset 1 = G55

work offset 2 = G56

etc...

 

If your post is not fanuc post, look at the comments of your post to see whether there's a definition for mi2 and whether it use work offset for WCS

 

Hope it helps

LoL, thanks Disciple.

 

Sometimes I forget that not everyone is using my posts/configs, so I tend to give the Reader's Digest version..
