Im programing finish 3d operations. The part is allmost done, only operation left is 3D operation in the cavity. Part has two pieces, a male and female half. Operator on the machine needs to allign the part physical, so the two halfes are alligned when put together.. Now he has to do it manually with measuring devices and difference between halfes must be under 0.02mm. So, the idea is to use renishaw probe and measure the part, calculate all angles differences between machine axes. Then rotate coordinate system to allign parts arround Z and X axes. With something like that operator dont need to center the parts manually. I allready made the measuring and calculation macros, offcourse if the measuring error is too big he has to allign it better, but if its in some tolerance, coordinate system rotation should do the job..

I made a macro program for measuring and calculation angles. But the problem is in rotation. G68.2 doesnt work like i thought. I supose your case is arround one axe only, right?

Not shure if the machine supports G68.1. I know it supports G68, and G68.2 but never tried G68.1. I tried searching online but cant find much on G68.1. Do you know how to program it? I know G68 is rotation arround one axis, and i need to rotate it arround two axes. G68.1 is capable of rotating two axes at the time? I will test it on the machine tomorrow morning..

Hi, Does anyone have any idea how would G68.2 work on 3axis machine? I would like to use my touch probe to measure the part, and than rotate the coordinate system arround some refference point. So i would "allign" the part with virtual coordinate system. The rotation angles would be very small, under 1deg.. Im working on Mori Seiki NV with G68.2 enabled, when i enter the G68.2 it doesnt follow the logic. For example: G0 G90 G54 X0.Y0.Z0. G68.2 X0.Y0.Z0.I45.J0.K0. G1 Z-100.(it should move the Z and Y axes both at the same time for same amount, but instead goes only with Z but nothing with Y axe) But if i write: G68.2 X0.Y0.Z0.I.J45.K0. G1 Z-100.(than it moves Z and Y axes both at the same time for same amount) Any ideas?
