I've worked on a program to do this on a 4 axis vmc. It can be done but was not accurate for my needs. If my rotary and fixtures were more square to the machine I think I would of got better results....

I'd like to help you but I'm a little confused on how you are setting up your machine. Does your tool setter use a macro when picking up tool heights? Is it just a indicator chucked in the spindle? ...

#105=1.0 but #105 does not = 2 I would think that would cause the alarm.

Years ago I opened my own job shop. When I told the insurance guy I was approaching area firearm makers for work he flipped out, Look up liability insurance for your product.

After running the above program the x was at machine position -20.
On the machines I run...

In MDI type #100= 1

If your machine alarms it can't read macros. I'm not sure about the difference between A & B. I work with YASNAC machines.

Did you find a work around to this problem. I was thinking you could save the work offsets to unused variables. Then replace them when you don't want to run the warmup program anymore.

Look up G30 in your book. The machines I work on use this as a 2nd reference point return position. They are set in the parameters of the control.
