OSP-U10L tool offset confusion | | I've got an E series Lathe with OSP-U10L control. Here's the senario; There are two tools in the carousel. With tool #1 loaded and the tool data set showing 0.000 offset for tool #1 in both axis I touch off / take a cut, measure the diameter and use the "CAL" function to adjust the zero offset.
I load tool #2, touch off the same diameter and use the "CAL" function to set the offset value for tool #2 in the data table. I use the same routine for the Z axis.
So far so good. I can change back and forth between tools one and two and using MDI I can manuever to the same diameter and part face with either tool.
However - when I press the manual button to jog the axis with tool #2 loaded the readout changes. The value changes to the part diameter + the tool offset value entered in the data table. For instance if I'm touching off on a .906 diameter part I press the manual button and the readout changes to 1.6209 which is the part diameter plus the value in the data table for tool #2 (.7149)
I know this something stupid I'm doing. Any suggestions? |
