RE: [mfg-smartcam] Lathe offsets

Have you got G10 (programmable offset) function on the control?

We have a Dainichi lathe with a Fanuc control 21-T.

 

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
