I am trying to run 2 files with 2 different tools and my self taught method of setting everything to ZERO seems pretty goofy. Any help in is greatly appreciated since there must be a simpler method that is less prone to human error.
Here is how I am currently setting 0,0,0:
1. Zero tool (1) at 0,0,0 and push "zero all" button on Kmotions Tool Screen.
2. C-Program Screen push "Save, Compile, Download, Run" button
3. Kmotion Tool Screen push "zero all" button (SECOND TIME) as one of the two screens (Green, Orange) doesn't always have 3 ZEROs
4. C-Program Screen push "Save, Compile, Download, Run" button (SECOND TIME)
I have been doing this routine because sometimes the machine would starts somewhere other than 0,0,0 by mistake and ruin the part. This little routine has served me well but there must be a better way.
A. I run File 1 with Tool 1 after the above steps.
B. I then type in G0 X0 Y0 Z6
C. Remove the dust shoe and manually change to tool 2. Repeat all 4 steps above to make sure everything is set at 0,0,0
D. Load file 2 and complete the part.
Thank-you!!
