I will be programming 4 different parts at one time each with a bar pull, in other words when one part is complete it gets parted off, then we send in the stock stop and pull out the required length for the next piece and so on. Because each part has a different length I would like to program each piece at "Z 0". Our control does not have the option for fixture offsets (G54-G59), which would have been easier. Is there a solution to get each piece to have a "Z 0" Thank you Colin Williams WABCO Freight Car Products Phone: 905-561-8700 ext.227 Fax: 905-561-6616 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WABTEC CORPORATION CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE The content contained in this e-mail transmission is legally privileged and confidential information intended only for the use of the individual or entity named herein.
