Hi all,
I am using a richmond VMC in a new job. I am trying to set it up with a tool length measuring proceedure which will give us a true indication of tool tip position relative to the workpiece.
Currently, the dist to go is our only guide, which only helps avoiding a crash really. The Relative and Absolute disps are something different, eg. T1 will rapid to 50mm (2") above Z0 but disp says 185.21(this no is I think the 50mm plus the tool length).
Can anyone suggest or recommend their process of setting tool lengths and G54-G59 to get over this problem?
Thanks
