Hi!
I have a 4020 with 88HS in shop now. Few days before I work with a
Hurco VMX24 - so far so good.
Now there are some litte questions, I can't solve with manuals alone.
1) I put the tools in ATC, take it with TC,1 out, jog it to a measuring
device (50mm) on the table and use SL,x. x for the toolnumber. In
Tooltable I subtract the 50mm, so the tools are measured to table.
2) With a 3D-taster (edgefinder...) I jog now X, Y and Z to the part and set
the axis with SETX, Y and Z to zero. The 3D-Edgefinder is in tooltable with
toollength too. I pick it with TC,1 - move turret to 21 and press MANUAL.
3) In programm I use for example M6T1, G0Z10H1.
Thats the theorie.
Well - is this the "best" practice to work? Better to use the fixtures? But how does it works?
Regards,
Thomas
