Hi all,
as im a cnc miller varying from 3 axis upto 6 axis ive never really been allowed to be let loose on a cnc lathe till now, last time i was on a cnc lathe was about 25 years ago for 2 weeks in my apprenticship so needless to say it was nothing like the modern machines we have now.
ive tried googling as much as i can to help me out but the issue im having is ive been told how to set the z offset on the lathe by calling up a preset tool length via the setting arm.
ie.
1. t0101
2. then touching on the end of the job with a piece of paper or similar.
3. then typing "z0"
4. "measure" on the screen keys
only nothing happens and all i get displayed is an error message "write protect" as if its parameter locked some how?
now i use this same method on all the other doosan millers we have and not once have i had a write protect issue like this when setting offsets.
Am i doing something wrong here?
