Hello, this is my third post; hopefully somebody has some advise. I am running a 2000 vintage Brother HS-50A wire EDM. I am cutting off a 3" wide tab from a previous operation. Currently I am doing an edge find in the -x direction, zeroing the machine, jogging in the x+ direction, jogging in the y- direction, then doing another edge find in the -x direction, and taking the difference from the first measurement, manually inputing the number in my program, jogging back to where I started, and pushing the start button. Sounds complicated? I have the program do an auto edge find and move back a set amount in both the x and y, then start cutting. Again, I am sure that it is possible to do both edge finds automatically, take the difference, and input it into the program, and go from there. It is working well, but I know that it could be better. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Roberts
