I have “inherited” a Hitachi Wire EDM with a Fanuc SP-150 control. I ran this machine 8 or 9 years back but I am having a little trouble getting my bearings on it again.
I have got it to start up and can jog each axis with no problem. I sent the machine to the home position using REF and holding X + and Y + and it seems to have achieved the home position.
I tried to do the same for U and V but it traveled so that the wire is at approximately at a 30 deg angle off perpendicular.
Can anyone give me the proper procedure for zeroing out the machine before running a program?
