This lathe is the only machine in our shop that resets work coordinate back to G54 on reset. Annoying as hell Is there a parameter not to do so?

Thanks much.

Hi,

Check par. 1201 #7 (WZR)
On my 18i-TB par. 1201 #7 = 0


#7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 #0

WZR -- AWK -- FPC ZCL ZPI ZPR


par. 1201 WZR:
Upon reset, the workpiece coordinate system is:
0 : Not returned to that specified with G54
1 : Returned to that specified with G54

Regards,
Heavy_Metal.

Thanks for the input but there is only AWK -- FPC ZCL ZPI ZPR. No WZR

According to the manual for an 18i,1201.7 is correct.

(Copied from a pdf of the Fanuc pocket manual for a 16i,18i,or 21i control)

01201 Coordinate system
#0 ZPR : When manual reference position return is
performed the automatic coordinate system is
not set (0)/set automatically (1) when a
workpiece coordinate system option is not
provided
#1 ZPI : The coordinate value of automatic coordinate
system is set PRM1250 (0)/PRM1250, 1251
(1)
#2 ZCL : When manual reference position return is
performed the local coordinate system is, not
canceled (0)/canceled (1)
#3 FPC : When the floating reference position is set, the
relative position display is not preset (0)/is
preset (1)
#5 AWK : When to change workpiece origin offset, value
is changed from preprocessing step (0)/
changed immediately (1)
#7 WZR: Upon reset, the workpiece coordinate system
is not returned (0)/returned (1) to that specified
with G54

Try setting it...see if it fixes the issue.
