Newbie- G10 L2 P1 X1

[Duesentrieb]

Hi Folks

This is my first post: Hello together!

Here my question:
G10 L2 P1 X1
This command will set the zero point to X1

but was does
G10 L2 P1 A1 ??

I try to rotate XY over the Z axis when my workpiece is not square to the table.

I am afraid that this is not possible and I have to recalculate all the XY coordinates by my self.

Thanks for help,

If you have the fourth axis enabled with a rotary table it will set the A value in G54 to 1?? Actually if you have A1. with the decimal it will set it to 1. but if you just have 1 I think it might set it to .01 or .001,..

I use the axis_9axis in EMC2.

I can set the A (or B) value how I want, but nothing changes.

How can I rotate the Z axis over the X axis?

I use the A-axis to controle the 4th axis..

To rotate the workplane in XY ... I would use G68 X0 Y0 R#

Then # would be the angle in degrees..

Close with G69.

I am new in g-code/cnc and I am learning the basics right now.

I found the G68 command yesterday, but it seems to me, that this is a machine depended command. That mean to me it can, but it don't have to work - am I right?

Thanks for help,

Machine dependent? .. I thought it would work with all the ISO or fanuc-based machines..
I use G68 with fanuc-0MD en fanuc 200i machines ..

I can not find the G68 here:http://www.linuxcnc.org/handbook/gco...l#anchor259197

I see .. but a lot of other codes aren't in that list...
Just try it ..


I will be using it tomorrow ..
