G154 Select Work Coordinates Help

[chucker]

In my haas manual it shows additional work offsets P1 to P99 you use G154
P1 and so on like the G54.1 P1 on other controls Then it shows #14001-#14006 I am ussuming this is the register where you would put your X,Y,Z,A,R vaules. Now the Dumb question where do you find these registers in the control to view what is in them I am thinking you could enter the value in them like this #14001=10.6 from the program is this correct I do some thing simular on a fanuc.

The G154 P(whatever0 work offsets all show up on the work offset page and you enter values into them the same as any work offset; cursor down to the appropriate line and use the work zero key or type in the values and press Write or F1.

If you want to enter from the program use G10.

on my work offset page I have
G52
G54 to G59
G110 TO G129 These would could be call by G154 P1 to P20
G92
Not counting G52 and G92 thats 26 Offsets I can use I need 32 for a tomb stone

Book also shows
G154 P21 to P30
P40,P50,P60,P70,P80,P90
and P95 to P99

with what the book shows above there should be 21 more offsets I could use but these do not show on the work offset page. My mill is a was made in 1999 my book says 2004 maybe my mill is to old and does not have this option ?

I think your mill is just a good deal older than the software on your machine, so there are less work offsets available to you.

Correct, too old, but have you read up on G52 or done a search here for threads discussing G52? Using G52 is an alternate method of getting an unlimited number of work offsets. Also using G10 you can change offsets from the program so again you can get many more than simply using fixed offsets.
