Rental Program

I am trying to run a rental program and it seams to be running a feed rate in inches and our machine is factory set for metric. Is there any fix or work around for this.
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

Your machine is capable of running a program that is in either dimension, Metric or Imperial. The important thing that must be known, is that when setting up your tooling and fixture offset tables, that the values must be in the default mode of the machine you have. This applies to the \"SET ZSHIFT\" also(values must be in default dimension mode of machine).

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks I have found that the feed rate issue was moving from home to the G51 location and then the feed rate increased. I have cut my first rental program and it worked just fine.

Thanks
Joe
