Problem- c axis work shift

[Atlas_Too]

Hi,

I'm using a 21I controller on a lathe with live tooling.

We stick our z axis work shift in some of our codes (parameter #2601). I was wondering if there is a similar parameter for a c - axis work shift?

Thanks for any help.

Dan,

1) C-Axis is the living tool or the spindle ???
2) Using system variable #2601 you modify only the tool geometry to shift the Z axis.

Parameter number #2601 in this control is listed as a workpiece coordinate shift. In the operators manual it is listed like this:

Workpiece coordinate system shift amount:
x axis: #2501
z axis #2601

When I put a value for #2601 it is inserted into the z axis workshift.

I'm looking for a similar parameter number for the c axis.

Thanks,

Dan

In your work coordinate does it show "C"
X axis
Z axis
C axis??
If it is listed they usually go in order. Try #2701.

Or does C show up in your woork coordinates?
An example of your work coordinates lets say G55
X=#5221
Y=#5222
Z=#5223
C=#5224

This will depend on how many coordinate axis you have listed.
