Hi, hope you fine gentelmen can help me. I'm trying to get a acroloc series 10 with a fanuc 6m control working but I am having trouble with setting the part zero and tool length offsets.
The procedure I plan on using is:
I want to use a G54 x y and z in my program.
Setting the G54 from my programmed part zero.
Setting the G54 Z from the top of my part.
Setting the tools from the machine table using a 1" block.
1) I fire up the machine and home out x,y and z axis.
2) I then go to each position page and hit x origin,y origin and z origin.
FROM here I am LOST!
PLEASE, if someone could fill in the blanks for me!
3) I move the x and y axis to my part zero, now what page do I enter the
values for my G54 offset?
4) How do I set the G54 Z axis offset?
5) How do I set the tool ofsets?
I just tonight figured out how to enter a tool offset, I have to enter (hit) the p key first then the z value at the bottom of the screen, but the tool does not go anywhere it is programmed to go.
I have many years experience but this control is something else.
My patience with this machine is very low, I'm working a 12 hour shift at my day job and trying to help a friend out making some parts that are due Monday with this machine. I'm hoping someone or several of you can help me out.
Bless you if you can and THANK YOU!
Tom
