Froggy pointed me in the right direction, I punched in G18 and everything is good.

I am working on a old VTL, with a Mitsubishi Meldas 500 control. The problem I am having is getting the control to roll a radious around the corner of a laege forging, and not just cut a champher. ...

Thanks, I will try this next time i'm at the shop. If it works I owe you a beer or something.

have any of you ever had to re-initialize the bubble memory on an old general Numeric T6 . The old VTL has been down for a while, and I can get into the control to write the bubble, I have no idea...

We had a problem like this on our QT250. It started after the night crew crashed the machine. The main turret needed to be realigned. along with the milling motor. What we found out was after...

if you are using Mazatrol. When you write the unit for tapping. it should ask you how much of a chamfer you want around the hole. then it is just discribing the tool properly for the machine. for...

all stainless steel is tough to work with. usually more tough than hard. I don't know of any heat treatment that would make it any less of a pain to work with. as far as tapping it . see what...

If the head of your machine isn't tramed in, most likely all you will make on the machine is decoy anchors.

a coaxial indcater would solve all your problems. on keeping it flat, if you have a machined surface on the gear. If you have alot of these items to build, make a fixture you can mill flat in the...

If you are removing alot of material from the stock . You may want to roughout the part first, on all the milling operations. leaving enough for a finish pass on all the critical dimentions. After...

I don't know if this will help. On one of our 6 M controlers. you power it up . And then you have to hit the (CON) key on the control to get past the bubble read screen. It is an older Mori...

When the vendors come in to try and sell you new tools. Ask them if you might demo a tool. It's easy enough on a mazak to tweek the feeds and speeds, for the new tool. Then you might be able to...

You are welcome, I'm not sure what they were thinking when they programed the old 6 M controlers. I'm glad I could help.

the g28 might be putting the machine in incramental mode. (g91) you might try adding a g90 after the tool change. I think with the g28 active it might be reading the tool offset and with no g00...

After thinking about it
I would change
N80 G00 G43 Z2.000 H3 (THIS GIVES YOU A BIT OF A SAFETY NET)
N90 Z.225 ( TO MOVE TO YOUR START POINT) (OF COURSE I WOULD BE IN SINGLE BLOCK, ON THE...

I think I see the problem
try this
N50 T3 M6
N60 S1000 M03
N70 G00 X0.2500 Y-.2500
N80 G00 G43 Z.225 H3

I think you need to call the H03 in your Z aproach line.
I always like to position...

I am just guessing , you must have a positive # in the tool offset. try a - before the offset amount. or change the call out from a G43 to a G45 if you have that option. It changes the offset...

Try setting your offset by using (P) instead of (z). on our old controler we have to input this number manualy for each tool. (example) P -10.325.
