G28 and G50 questions.
hi all-
two questions i hope you can help get through my head
one i think may be more mori sl-2h specific the other, perhaps so as well...
1. i have a piece of code where i've stated G28 X0. Z0. when executed from zero return, the turret moves in the X-(turret goes up) and Z+(turret goes away from spindle). given my newfound fear of crashes, i've feed stopped the movement before it hits the hard limits. is this G28 supposed to do this? when the turret is in the safe travel zone, and G28 appears, it does go back to zero return at X0.Z0 which makes sense. what am i doing wrong here?
2. G50 is completely escaping me. i've read the online articles, my cnc programming book, and i generally understand the concept, but can't seem to wrap my head around how to employ this given in pages 80-83 in my mori sl-2 manual (B-121601-E). i guess my main question is, what in fact are my G50 values? how do i know what my "dimensions of cutting tool starting point (programmed G50)" value is?
thanks!
