controller questions

[scrambled]

I can finally operate my MHP mill using the controller and drip feeding programs to it.


So now for the 1001 questions I will have.

The biggest question is how do the fixture offsets work. With my oxy flame cutter and mach, I just jog the cutter to where I want it to start, zero the axis and that point is now 0,0,0

On the mill, I cant figure this out. I know where the fixture offset page is, and I can input information to where I want to start, and it does not change anything.


Can someone point me in the right direction?

G54 to G59 are your work coordinate references, G53 reverts back to machine 0.

I don't have those g code numbers.

Here is a list I have

G0. Positioning rapid
G1 linear contour
G2 clockwise contour
G3 counter clockwise contour
G4 dwell
G9 decel
G17 xy plane
G18 xz Plane
G19 yz plane
G27 set absolute offset
G40 tool compensation off
G41 simple tool comp left
G42 simple tool comp right
G45 block insert left
G46 block insert right
G70 inch
G71 metric
G79 chip breaker
G80 cancel fixed cycle
G81 drill fixed cycle
G82 spotface fixed cycle
G83 peck fixed cycle
G84 tap fixed cycle
G85 bore fixed cycle
G86 bore with orient
G89 bore with dwell
G90 absolute mode
G91 incremental mode
G92 position register preset
G99 tool change location

I an not going to pretend that I know what even half of that means

Strange you have a fixture offset page but no means of accessing them?
What does the manuals say?

If I only had a good manual

I do have two screens on the controller that deals with off sets. The first is called fixture offset and the second is tool offset

Either of these any good?
