I cannot get the tools set to machine the part on the sub spindle. I am using three dual station clamping units mounted in station 1, 6 and 12. the back tools or tools facing the sub are RH. I have them defined as T0131.02, T0636.02, AND T1242.02. I cannot get them to go to the sub spindle zero position. I have tried to use macro numbers. I have my part programmed in g code. I have 13 stations and unlimited offsets but for some reason it will not read the tools for the sub spindle. It reads fine for the main when I use T0101.01, T0606.01, and T1212.01 I have been programming using G53.5 Do I try to use a G54-G57 workshift for the sub? thanks for your help -
Hello all, I am new to this forum, but so far I have had a lot of help from the forum members. I am now trying to figure out an easy and safe way to set tool offsets and z0 on my control. I do have a master tool setter , and an haimer 3d taster to set work offsets. The way I am doing it is Reference machine first,then for the tool offsets , just measure them with imput c at 0 on top of mastertool. I measured 3d taster on top of mastertool too. For the zo work offset I just touch part (or wherever the z datum is) until the 3d taster is at its 0 point, then go to work offsets , highlight z datum, type the 3d taster lengh , then measure. Now all work well until I need to change a tool and re-set its lenght, or simply for instance add another tool in my program(then set a new tool lenght), and lenght come out wrong. Additional notes: I must use g49 before toolchanges, and at the end of program I am using g28. Thanks in advance for your answers!
