We just got this lathe, used, and I'm having mixed luck running my old Fanuc 6t programs on it. I'm just doing it now to get something running until I get the specific programming down for this control.
The mods to make my old progs run are minimal but I can't get the Haas to pick up offsets. I ran a couple simple 1 tool programs last week and lost 1 part out of each batch seemingly because the machine wouldn't add in the offset values I had input. I lost the 1st part of each batch because of the offset thing but the 2nd part it would pick up the offset OK.
I'm trying to run a second op with 3 tools but even the 1st tool will not pick up the offset after repeated trys. I'm using a G50 start for each tool then the tool and offset number.
WTH am I missing here?
Top of my programs from the 6T ;
/G28U1W1 (This would be same as using like g55 on the Haas from here...)
/G50X20.X23.00
/GOX12.Z5.
/M2 (..to here)
G50 X11.Z2.
G0S1200M3 T1111

any ideas?
