G54.XX how to use?

[C5turbo]

Take it easy on me, I just got into using a Fanuc control this year. I use to run HAAS and they don't use any decimal's for this.
If I need to set 30 different work coordinate offsets, how do I call out G54.1-G54.30? So far I have never needed more than 4 so I would just use G54,55,56,57. Is it just as easy as putting G54._ in the line where I would put a G55?

I have used Fanuc for Years but never on a Daewoo. So here is my 2 Cents. For different work positions using G54 I would try G54.1, G54.2, G54.3, G54.4, G54.5, G54.6, G54.7 etc. and continue until you got to G54.30. This is just a guess.

I hope this helps or someone with Daewoo experience shows up.

BTW: welcome to the zone!

Also if you are loading via. your prog.(i.e. G10 L2 P1-P6 Xn Yn Zn)
you would use L20 instead of L2 the P word would be the same except 1-30 or whatever.

I think this is an optional feature, but if your machine has it then you use it like this:

G54.1 P1 X Y Z
thru
G54.1 P48 X Y Z or G54 P300 X Y Z depending on how many offsets your machine has

Hope this helps,

Thanks Scott,
That was it. I was confused before. All the offsets are under G54.1 then you just put P1-58. There is no G54.2, .3, .4 etc. Super easy once you know how.

Kevin,

No problem

If you have any other questions let me know, I'll try to answer them.

30 shifts is it for a fixture ? would it be easier to use a g52 shift

[C5turbo]

Actually what I'm doing is setting up for 12 parts. 3 different parts in sets of 4, and on 3 different vices. My example of 30 was just a number I threw out there.

I work on a DVC320/40 I have the optional work shifts as well but I do not use them. It does work as G54.1 P1-P48. But it s some times a pain. I use marco programs instead. I machine 4 sets of 6 parts at a time. I have 4 subs litsed as 7001, 7002, 7003, 7004,
call them as

G65 P7001 loads the macro into the G52 setting and then shifts incromentaly from there to the G54, G55, G56 and so on.

I can go into more detail if you like. But it can get lengthy. It is real nice to set up.
