Hi everyone 6 months ago, I was working on a project which still is not complete. The problem I have is that my machine with 808d advanced(milling) is storing the tool length as negative number when measuring from so called "fixed point". I assume "fixed point" is configured as table in my case. I can’t find any parameter which allows to configure this. The problem is that I have lot of routines which are automating tool length measurement, and they assume tool length is positive number. I don’t want to go over a lot of code and change it. I have asked previously in this forum and the suggestion were to change the coordinate system and have z 0 on a table. This does not look natural for me but I was thinking this is the only way. And now I sow the video in youtube where the machine has ref point(z 0 in top) and tool lengths are positive. I contacted the person and he confirmed that the lengths are positive when measuring automated or manual. Can someone please explain how this is achieved ? The youtube linkhttps://youtu.be/f-XrtX1Cvgg?t=869 As you can see in machine coordinate system the coordinates are negative which means the machine ref point is at the top and the tool lengths are all positive. regards |
