I recently purchased a Haas Super Mini Mill, and I'm having problems trying to figure out how to get my G54 Tool offsets to work.
I am measuring my tools off of the top of the mill table, and then measuring my G54 Z-axis offset off of the top of the piece I want to mill.
So here are the steps I'm taking:
Measured Tools 1 & 2 off of the table.
Tool 1 ended up at –9.802
Tool 2 ended up at –9.306
Next using tool #1 I measured off of the top of the piece I want to mill.
That measured –5.8416 ( so I entered that into the G54 Z AXIS )
Next I keyed in my X & Y values into the G54
Next I ran the following code to see if the machine would bring me down near the X0,Y0,Z.25 position on the work piece.
I receive a Zero over travel range Error Message.
T1 M06
G0 G90 G54 X0 Y0
G43 H01 Z0.25
G28 G91 Z0
I have attached some screen shots.
On a side note, when I manually move the spindle down with tool #1 active It does show zero on all 3 axis when I get down to the zero position on the part, however when I load up tool #2 the z axis doesn't show zero when I get to the same place on the part... ( it appears it's still using the offsets from tool #1 )
Thanks,
Kent
