G28U0W0 Home Position Change

Postby tobyaxis » Sun Feb 11, 2007 2:07 pm

Hello everyone!!!!!

I think this is my first post here, but could be very wrong.

Anyway, here is my question about NC Plot. The Machine Configuration for Lathe returns the tool to X0Z0 on a G28U0W0 Command. How do I change this to reprecent the Actual Home Position?

BTW: NC Plot is great!!!!! I found a few old Lathe and Mill programs that would have done terrible things to the machines. Talk about a FAST G-Code Verify.

Cheers

Hi Toby,

If you set a work offset location away from the machine zero then the G28 command will accurately represent the motion back to machine zero.
