I don't think your mean at all. I agree that it will be much more efficient. I wish we had been using tcp earlier. Unfortunately it wasn't available to me until now. I received the new post this afternoon from Postable.
Well to me there is your biggest problem. Why are you using such primitive methods to program your machine? Why not use the G68.2 and G43.3 on the machine and call it a day. Then you make your Zero where you want on your part touch off the place on the material and your off to the races. The way your currently doing it is the fall of many companies today. We had a customer do the same exact thing your doing and kept beating their heads against the wall. They finally listened after 2 years of fighting all of the same things your fighting and got the G68.2 and G43.4 option installed on their machine. The machine builder came in and set the parameters correctly and they were back to cutting Ti parts within .0002 all day long like they had before they crashed their machine. The post is doing exactly what it should be doing because of the crash, but if you went to G68.2 and G43.4 then you could program it like a 3 axis machine touching off the corner of your material or dead center top of your material and be done. Tear down the setup and move it and set it back up and never care if you hit it prefect to dead center. Think about how much time it takes to set your parts up having them dead on to center of rotation. Do you do the same thing on a 3 Axis machine? No way if you are then your defeating the purpose of even having work offsets on a machine. They are there for a reason so use what you got the way it was meant to be used and your life will be so much easier and your company will be more profitable in the long run in doing so. Pay me know or pay me later is what comes to mind. Sorry not meant to be mean or harsh I am just trying to point you in the right direction. Have a great weekend.
