Hurco MB3 - Neutral corner

[underdog]

The M25 sends the Z mast up to the top limit switch, safely out of the way.

Is there also a way to get the X,Y to go to an always-safe place (and not overtravel or not be prone to overtravel based on where the operator put the vise during setup), like X0,Y20?

Maybe by the use of a line M25X0?

Bloke, I'm looking to you here buddy, if there is any answer!

Otherwise I knifed thru a couple angle iron plates this weekend nicely.

Have you looked at Zero return G28? You can also program G28 with an intermediate point to go to first if an obstruction exists.

Unfortunately, there was no option to put a safe position in on the BX or B controls. You'd have to program a position in yourself at the end of the program.

I do a fair bit of work on tall housings and nearly all toolchanges would crash into the job due to lack of headroom so I use the
'MOVE TO SAFE TOOLCHANGE' in the prog parameters om my VSX24.

This sends the table to the maximum negative 'X' and 'Y'. (far right corner of the cabinet)

Maybe this isnt what your looking for and then as 'bloke' quiet rightly says you have to put a positional move into the program at the end.

Hope this helps. :-)
