Whyy!!

Post by MarcoKnjaschewitsch »

Ok so i'm trying to use profile modeler on the CNC but I have an issue that it is referencing out of the wrong corner.

Our Machine has pop up pins that reference off the other side of where the home position of the router head is... How do i change this?????

You might get better results by posting this in the Thermwood forum (and giving it a more descriptive subject). This forum is just for eCabinets software.

You will need to set up a fixture offset using the G52L#. At this time the Profile modeler will not let you use the G901 fixture offset like Control nesting does. So you just need to set up a fixture offset in the fixture offset table, and use the x and y coordinates in your G901 offset.

Open your m999 macro (Open a new blank program. Enter text M999 on any line. Then block step+ on the M999 line, to open the macro. You may need to delete it after you are done.)
scroll down until you find the G901 X and Y values. (write these values down on a sheet of paper)
go into your fixture offset table and choose offset 52
Apply the X and Y values and save.
Now when you are in Profile modeler goto "OPERATIONS">"DEFAULTS"
Goto the CNC offset portion, and select "Fixture G52L#"
Then select 52 for the fixture offset.
Now when you post out the code your program should start in the correct place.

Note: If your xshift and y shift are selected in Control Nesting they will also need to be selected in the Profile Modeler.

If you have any questions just call and we can walk you through it.
