I have a few programs which are all for the same job, and use the same tool, I'd like to combine these programs into one.

I noticed that the G43 values are not the same, is this going to be a problem?? I don't understand what G43 does. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Guys,

I have a quick G code question for you, Can you move the machine to the machine coordinates and not the working coordintes with an MDI??

I'd like to make my machine go to x0,y0,z0 what command would I need to use?

Thanks

Jim

Thaks hood,
I've solved this issue now, I moved my home switch slightly along it's axis, i guess it was not in nd ideal place for the encoder.

So hopefully now I should have mouch more accurate homing??

Would I be correct in assuming that havig a higher speed for homing the mahcine will not make it any less accurate at homing?

I did some more reading today, as i just found out cs labs have released an english manual for the ip/a. Previously I had not enabled index homing. I assume with this enabled i will get much moe accurate homing???

this works fine on my Y&Z axis, but when i try to enable this fo the x axis, i get an error when homing that machine
"index distance not allowed in range..."

waht is odd though is that the x and y encoders are the same with 1250 pulses per revolution, so why should one work but not the other??
