Banging my head against the wall trying to set a y axis tool offset on a Haas ST20-SSY. im sure the solution is right in front of my face but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
what're the sequence of buttons I need to press to set that offset? does it just piggyback off of the already known x tool offsets? if so, why does the tool geometry reserve a place holder for a y axis offset? im very green, so go easy on me :D
I have to set the Y-axis offsets manually on our ST-10Y. I'm sure yours is the same.
Just be sure to program a Y0. for each tool to keep them on center or you can shim them to center.
ok.i put an edge finder in a radial tool and find center of a dowel in the chuck and hit part zero set on the y axis.i believe that is how you set a "g54" y0.tjays how I do it and my "milled" features come out on centerline 90% of the time. To improve accuracy even more when your orientate c, how about set a different work coordinate system for each orientation of the chuck? Find y0 at each orientation of c and set zero so it's all centered..Quote:
