Making parts on a Roders cnc

[65Mustang]

Is anyone out there making parts (not molds) on a Roders cnc. We have inherited a RPX 800 with a RMS6 control and are having problems with getting it to act as a production cnc mill. It doesn't like arcs, wants to reprobe tools when moving to different work coordinates and we are not 100% sure how it determines tool lengths (its not using a gage length from face of spindle to tip of tool when the laser sets the tools). Any guidance would be appreciated.  

 

Thanks

Sorry, only use ours for molds.

 

But no, they don't like arcs. The more point to point data you feed them, the happier they get.

 

When it lasers between work coordinates, is it setting a new offset, or is it just checking for a broken tool?

 

I have no clue how it determines tool length. I just trust it to be right and it hasn't screwed me yet.

 

I just program the dumb thing, so my knowledge of the control is limited, but if you post a sample .BEF file, I might be able to translate what it's doing.
