Hello everybody,
I have to work with a CNC Fanuc system, it is Fanuc 18-MC with
dataserver and connected to a Renishaw toolprobe.
I am not very familiar with CNC Fanuc, and have some difficulties in working with it. Maybe some of you guys can help me:
1. The controller have 3 coordinate system: relative, absolute and machine.
How can i setup absolute values acording to my needs, for example to
put zero on a workpiece? the relative values can be changed, but this doesn't help me much. My gcode partprograms are in absolute coordinates.
2. What is the way to use MDI, or what is MDI in the first place? I want for example to start spindle at a 3000rpm, to input S3000 and M03 and start it, not make a program for it.
3. How can i setup the Renishaw toolprobe coordinates, and what are the items to follow to measure tool-length?
Thank you!
