I have a 1996 Fadal 6030. I am using G51.1 to mirror the x axis. In the program I use two fixture offsets. For some reason the program will not recognize the "Z" offsets, but does recognize the "X" and "Y" fixture offset. I tried using the "G" call out for the fixtures as well as the "E", but neither one works. No matter what I put for the fixture "Z" offset, it always ignores the fixture offset and uses the tool offset. I have tried many different things ....

CAN YOU SEE THE "Z" FICTURE OFFSET AT THE TABLE? (DF,ENTER.)
G51.1X0(NOTHING ELSE ON THIS LINE!)

Were you able to get this resolved?

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated, I have been trying for a couple days to resolve this same issue and can't seem to do anything to make it understand the offset.



An example of the code follows:

N100 O0409 ( H-CAM NEW OP 20 FADAL )

N150 G20

N160 G0 G17 G40 G49 G80 G90 H0 E0 Z0

N180 T1 M6

N200 G0 G90 S1200 M3 E13 X1.3765 Y.747

/N201 G51.1 X0

N210 H1 Z.25 M8 (crash at this point due to the tool tip trying to reach machine .25" instead of the fixture offset, even though the screen shows the correct Z value for the fixture offset, the tool passes that and continues the distance of the fixture offset down to Z-2.05, .25 + the 1.8 fixture offset)

N220 Z.1



Again, thanks for any help you can provide.

Just some more information: H1 is an offset of -8.895, set at 4" above the table. Program works perfectly without mirroring. (sorry PM isn't apparently activated for my account yet) Thanks again for your help!
