Hey guy's

I'm using format 1 on my VMC 40 and the end of my programs look like this.


..........
...........
G0 G80 Z.1 M9
G49 Z0
E0 X0 Y8. (Position of CS is at Center of table and move Y8. for loading and unloading)
M02 (OR M30)
%

My machine travels are 22 x 16 that is why I put a Y8. (half the distance on Y from CS for unloading and loading)

Everything is good but when it reads an M02 or an M30 it moves the table to CS and doesn't stay at X0. Y8. ......?????

Is there a parameter to make M02 or M30 not send machine to CS position

The manual says in format 1 that M02 and M30 will do this.

I can make it work using the SETH and using a G92 command at the beginning of the program but I do not like using that type of setup.......especially using multiple work offsets.

I read this in a thread and it is not working for me?

As for fixture offsets, my rule is NEVER EVER use a SETH or a SETY or a SETX and ESPECIALLY never ever use a SETZ. Leave the home position where it is (E0). At the end of the program run back to E0X0Y(1/2 your travel minus a bit)"



thanks for any help!
