Title: OffLine quesiton
Post by: rickinbeachcrest on December 29, 2015, 10:34:35 PM
I think I know the answer, but I would like to know for sure.

Will I loose my position if I press the off-line button?

The job finishes, I jog the spindle out of the way, then press the off-line button,  remove my part.  I will usually go to the other side of the shop to get ready to run another part,  examine the part just finished, or clean up the part I just took off the machine .  So I get back to the machine, load the next piece, press the off-line button (putting it back on line) and cycle start.

Some thing tells me this is not the correct use of the off-line button.

Thanks.
Rick
