Author Topic: Which code to remove in order to remove "homing" in multiple work offsets.....  (Read 2663 times)

I am not sure which lines in the attached example need to be removed in order to have the Z axis not go back "home" after completing G54 work offset.

I have three fixtures and I repeat  the same code except for the work offset numbers, which I set up in Mach3.

Currently, when the Z axis is done doing its work with G54, it returns home and then proceeds to the next fixture.
In order to speed up my work, I would like the Z axis to keep on going until it's done with all three work offsets before returning "home".
thanks in advance.

It is the G91/G28 lines returning the tool home - G28 machine coordinates X,Y,Z zero's being machine home, you should make the tool safe before changing work offset, you could move absolute above the jobs rather than return to home.
thanks, Julian. I'll try it.  In the past, speed was not an issue. But now, every( non essential) second counts.
