Hello,
We've got a Macturn 250-W we are having some problems with.
I can get the machine to cut within 10ths with the upper turret when the tool is indexed at 0 or 90 degrees. I'm having problems when I try to cut at say 45 degrees.
I'm calling my G52 when I call my tool offset, I'm using a G42 and I'm just doing a simple G01 move to cut the part.
At 70 degrees I'm out about 5 thou (Dia) at 45 degrees I'm out about 20 thou.
I'm using a CNMG 432 so I've got a tool nose radius of .0313. I adjusted it while cutting at 45 degrees (down to .0105) and with it set there it's cutting to what I want, but if I index the turret to 70 degrees with my nose rad still at .0105 I'm still out. So I don't think it's an issue with my nose rad. I've tried basically all the "P" values for all the different cutting positions but they either cut oversize or undersized. I'd appreciate any help!
I can post up my code tomorrow if anyone would like. (Or if you have any code with a G52 please post it and tell me what you used as offests)
Thanks!
