Bridgeport VMC 500 XP1 - Work Offsets

[cadcamjohn]

Hi, I hope someone can help.

Our CNC Setter / Programmer for our Bridgeport has quit. I can set tool lengths, datum point and so on, so i can keep working for now but can anyone help me with the following.

Is there any type of work offset like our fanucs have. They use G54, G55--- so you can set up more than one job on the table and adjust the position of each datum.

If someone has a post processor for Edgecam that would show me how it works on heidenhains it would be very handy.

what control does it have ?

if you are running in converstional it would be cycle def: datum shift

The control is a TNC 410.

I think i need to read the book a bit before I get into this too deeply.
