Is there an option or parameter to be able to use multiple work co-ordinate systems with the A2100? i.e. G54, G55, etc.

Ya there is.

Inside any setup you are currently on you can add fixtures from the Setup menu. Each of these fixtures are based off of the main setup. To call them up in your program you need to use H# (# = fixture number.)

It can be a little confusing, if you have the manual it will help a lot.

thank you. After talking to our technician that services our machines and digging into the manuals further this weekend, I found that. I will try it this morning and see how it goes.

How do you set the "MAIN SETUP"?

I know how to set the H1, H2... (but not how to use them, as the axes move to a different place if the machine is in a different position when the program is loaded.

Can somebody show the GCode to set a main offset to X40Y24z24 (basically the Home position) and then to set H1 at Vise 1 which is at X20Y12Z4 so the offset is invoked but nothing moves until I give it a G0 or G1?

Thanks,

Tom
