CNC Mill Tool and Work Offsets Explained Part 1

Hello everyone, welcome to At-Man Unlimited. Are you starting out with a CNC Mill? Having trouble wrapping your head around all the offsets and coordinate systems? In this series lets go through the progression of 3 main methods to use work offsets and tooling off sets. Our first video will focus on the simplest form of offsets that is most common with manual machine operation. We will talk about the machine coordinate system and how to startup a Fadal VMC. Then let’s walk through the process of setting up a work offset to establish a zero reference for making a part.

I'm starting to get back on track. Very busy still, but should have time to make some more content.

[@Tino_Moreno]

hello I'm was wondering how do you set your G54 in a Fadal? I know how to do it in a haas

[@enriquemandujano9225]

Hi Engineer !
I have a problem with my FADAL machine , specifically on the Z axis trajectory, this axis never arrives to table automatically. What values i have to modify in the SO ?
Best Regards from Mexico

I'm not sure I understand the question, could you provide more information?

do you think you can make a video on how to set a G54 please?

[@AtManUnlimitedMachining]

Hello Florentino, sorry for the delay. Please check out this video here ua-cam.com/video/0yaC3dg6Hnw/v-deo.html This covers all the items for basic operation of a fadal from turn on, tool offsets, work offsets, and turn off.

Thank you for sharing

Welcome

[@muhndkalil9234]

can you explaine the relation between G10L10 and G43 ?

[@AtManUnlimitedMachining]

Hello Muhnd, G10L10 is a command you can use to modify the value stored in the tool length offset table from within the program. G43 is used to actually apply the selected length offset to the position of the axis.

thanks for the quick answer if i understand what you mean is the G43 is apply the tool length from the table that stored by G10L10?is it works togther(G10L10andG43)

[@AtManUnlimitedMachining]

In most cases people measure and set the tool length values in the table ahead of time and do not use the program to set them. The G10L10 is a way you can modify those values from within the program if you needed to. I have not seen a use for it personally. Yes, calling G43 will tell the controller to take that offset value and apply it to the axis position.

Thank you very much

You should make this video but show step by step in the machine instead of the teory

[@AtManUnlimitedMachining]

Been on the list for a while now, your not the first to ask. I did a video close to that in the general operations
