home sequence
« on: March 10, 2012, 10:19:07 AM »
Hello All

Mack turn on a lathe

When I do g28 for the machine to "go to home"
the first movement is on the z axis and this causes a crash into the rear tool holder
How can i code for a home (g28) to home the z axis first
it need to go z home before x home

regards

Have a read of the Lathe manual page 10-13.
G28 Zx.x
G28 Zx.x Xx.x
G28 .1 searches for the home switches.

Hello Rich

When You say "the lathe manual " do you mean
"Using Mach3 Turn" If so mine finishes on section 10.12

Hi Guys,
 It's actually Chapter 10.7.8  & 10.7.9 in the index. Page is 10-13.
G28 doesnt work as described for me. I don't think it ever did.

Russ,
G28 and it should go home?
G28 X0.0 and it will home the x
G28 Z0.0 and it will home the z
G28 X0.0 Z0.0 and it will home both in a combination move
G28 X?.? Z?.? and it will home via the intermittant point defined

How's it suppose to work?

Hi RICH,
 My assumption according to attached:

If my HOME pos is Z0,X0 and I am currently at X2,Z-2 and want the tool to go to Z-1 before going home, program G28 Z-1 and there should be 2 moves.
Z will go to -1 THEN both axis will (should) go to HOME. I only get the first move.

G28.1 will (should) actually run the HOMING sequence for the specified axis.

Ahh...ok now i know what you mean. One can read to the exact letter though and as it's stated you would need both an
X & Z location. Not sure how other controllers work and will do a quick look at the Smid book to see what he say's even though it may not be relavant.
Don't remember if it works the same in mill.....
