Hi. A friend bought a Tree 880 VMC with a Vickers TPC-2100 control that runs G-code and RAP (Rapid Assist Programming). We're very experienced, but need help "to find the parking brake" if you know what I mean. We have the basic startup questions......
1) How do you home the magazine? The manuals show a button that we cannot find on the control or pendant. Sheesh!
2) My buddy's shop uses the "touch each tool off a 1" block from the top of the part" tool setting method. What are the keystrokes to teach the machine the tool lengths?
3) Sharing a short 2-3 tool program would be most appreciated since the manual showed only the G92 (antiquated) method of setting work offsets and the manual did not say anything else. (G54 where are you?)
Many Thanks!
