Still not sure what your trying to do as your using the same Z move to do two things? Wont one of the heads run into something while they are both going up and down at the same time?

but as far as your numbers I would think your mixing imperial fixture offsets with metric gcode movements
150" * 25.4 = 3810mm and 50" * 25.4 = 1270mm ( that's why your seeing the huge movements)
you might want to make sure you setup units are in metric or use the equivalent value (just some more math).

I think the same thing, my units on the mach is "MM", and i tried to convert to imperial (X6 Y2 Z0) and the mach do the same thing :/

BTW, The second head is activated by pneumatic actuator and another guide, that's why i dont need to use Z offsets.

Set your G55 to X100 Y50 and save fixture

Move to the Point of Origin X0Y0 on your material. then Zero the xy axis(that will set the g54 to 0,0)  the example just drills 1 hole then offsets the head and drills another hole in the same spot to prove the offsetting works correctly.

(Switch to G55 to offset to the 2nd head)

NOW do not get confused by what you see in the toolpath as it does NOT exactly show what the machine is going to do. Just follow the machine tool as it does the job IT will be correct.



Thanks!....I will try that!

I wanna make "hole and screw" path because the OSB panel is loose on the table, so the screw will secure the panel...but i will test the 2 scenarios ;)
