How do you on a HAAS LATHE use Absolute/G54 WORK Co-Ordinates & Handle Jog with the HAAS Controller? On my 2004 SL30 HAAS LATHE I call up G54 Work Co-Ordinates via MDi > Tool Change = I receive the Absolute/G54 WORK Co-Ordinates, however... when I then press Handle Jog, the Absolute/G54 WORK Co-Ordinates will change to the Machine Co-Ordinates even though the figures are still under the Absolute/G54 WORK Co-Ordinates Title? On my other Lathes all I do is a tool change in MDi then Jog Handle then Manually position my Tool & Turret to where I want using the Absolute Co-Ordinates & G54 Z zero.
I think I understand what you are saying……do you mean the values that are displayed on the screen on the right side where it says Work and Distance to go?
@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more Posit page Current Commands Page Anywhere you can see Co-Ords Doesn't matter. The machine sits idle with the machine co-ords. To call up G54 Work Co-Ords I use MDi>ToolChange. But I can't position the turret & tool because when I press Handle Jog button, the controller changes back to Mach Co-Ords.
@@MantismanTM hmmmmm……..so, are you able to move the axis’s while in handle jog? If not, something might be whacky. It’s tricky trying to figure this out while not being able to see this in person.
@@TimsCNC-Tractors-and-more I can move the turret, write and run progs fine. G54 & Absolute work in tandem. There's 4 position displays. Machine Co-Ords Operator Co-Ords Work G54 Co-Ords Dist to go Co-Ords MDi > Toolchange - Shows G54 Work / tools actual position in relation to work piece, on my others lathes I then go into Jog handle and just wheel the turret and tool to Absolute Z5. and do a rough check with a ruler. But on the Haas lathe as soon as I switch to Jog Handle the Co-Ords being displayed under G54 Work change to the machines Co-Ords but still being displayed under and not changing the title of G54 Work Co-Ords.
@@MantismanTM when you set your tool lengths, do you Z face measure all the tools? They will put the value as to how far from machine home they are. I do it differently.....I set my main facing tool (tool 1) to Z0.....and all my other tools will be based off of Tool 1......I know it sounds confusing.
