Machine CPL

[jheal]

As is, the machine CPL for one of our machines is at the back of the spindle, a few inches below (I did not do the post processor myself). This leaves our machine home at x5 z20. I want the CPL to be at machine home, so x0 z0, so that the spindle is negative, because that is where it is on the machine. The people who do our post processor say this cannot be done but i think otherwise. Any thoughts would be appreciated. P.S. this is all bassically so that my tool changes can output as negative values, and the simulation is correct.

Just use 'part stickout' when you create a new sequence to shift it over a bit?

The guys who do your post are wrong btw, you can put it wherever you like - otherwise, you're not simulating the machine.

Hello,

You can edit the machine cpl in Code Wizard, on the machine tab(primary component location).
This coordinate should changed to same pos. on the machine tool. Elseif, the simulation will not be correct.
