We have the Kalamazoo Industries one you can get them with a pedestal or cabinet or just bolted to an existing table
They have a 1 by 42 inch belt but you can get the Scotch-Brite belts also
Yes. The second time is to verify it is writing and positioning correct
Check it again after you apply the g54.4 to see if it reads zero.
If the probe won't work with 54.4 active you may have to use an indicator.
All of our matsuura came with the 54.4 but none of them worked. They would hang up and not alarm out if there was a value in there. Another parameter had to be changed. So you may be writing to it but it may not be applying it
I can't remember but I think they are always zero and the angles are in ijk.
But I can assure you when working properly it works.
Since you had previously centered the parts and this first one is not tracking the work offset properly you may need to double check the parameters as suggested. It can be as simple as 1 or 2 bits that needs to be toggled
So if you have the 68.2 option you would use that on 3 plus 2 work and then you have to use the 54.4 for multi-axis work.
Is that what you're attempting to do?
Is the part entirely 3+2?
If you have the twp in the post already you should be able to probe and go.
I was under the assumption that it had neither twp or tcp and you added the 54.4 option
On the fanuc if the 54.4 value are all set at zero it doesn't activate .
If your control is the same you can have it post out all the time and when you do need to use it you just have to put your error in the 54.4 p1 offset.
Then you won't have to manually add it each program
If I remember correctly g10 L23 p1 will write to the g54.4 p1 offset. So you can incorporate that into a macro or enter it manually
S101 is usually g54.1 p1
it should
I use it along with the g68.2 twp on 1 part with a 20micron true position. the datums are vary as the machine warms up so I have an moo to indicate them and put the off values in g54.4.
are you using the tilting work plane?
