i am using EMC in a mixed enviroment with fanuc etc and i see no difference nor need to change the way tools are offset on mill or lathe
as all my fanucs are setup and have always been setup in the same way EMC deals with them which gives u the ability to A move ur common work trimmer Z which moves all tools in ur table for you so no need to change 20+ tools. B alter any work offset (G54 etc) and then again use it to adjust ur tool lengths, for jigs or multi parts etc. or have jigs on different Z levels etc etc the way you are saying to use it, i can see gains and losses users choice realy, i would say all controls have the option to set it ether way its just how it is shipped and how you ask it to be setup. and then what you are used to after. we all program and use our CNC machines in different ways and non is wrong or right but icant see how you can realy say EMC does not follow the "indutrial" standard becasue lets face it on fanuc,mitishi etc u can change pritty much any way the control works to your needs and wants if you know how. so who is and isnt following the "industrial" standard. rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
