I have a Hitachi Seiki HT20 with a fanuc 10 control that runs great. Now I have aquired a HS HT20S2 with a C axis and live tooling, a yasnac Lx3 control with the multi-seiki programing part.


First question.

I do not see anywhere to use a G54 , etc position for the origin of the part.
Am I to assume that there is no position cordinate and that you zero the machine and then set all of your tool offsets from there?



As far as the live tooling. I MDI a M19 to interlock the main spindle to its home position. I then type a M13 S500 command to energize the live tooling. It gives me a 56 alarm for the sp. inverter?
