I am coming from a Fanuc/Allen Bradley/GE background, so the datum table method of fixture offsets is throwing me. I would appreciate any snippets of .I programs that will illustrate how fixture offsets and probing is handled. So far, all I have seen are in CZ or German. Thanks in advance
G247 Q339=+1 is like calling up G55 as your coordinate, then you can have a program set within a lbl call (G98)L?
Then you can call as many G247 Q339=2 (G56) or whatever number you assign....then call your lbl prog.....that is the simplist example..You can make a program with only datum shifts then call a sub program up in between datums shifts...several different ways you can get it to work..
Depending on your post you can either change MCS under local to force the datum shift or edit at the machine....Here we do it at the machine set our fixture...Probe manually set every datum...but usually we never run same thing twice, being a mold shop...Hope I didn't confuse you to much....
