Our Mori NT4200 with Fanuc 31iA5 control the machine defaults to G68.1 for tilted workplane operations, however, it also capable of using G68.2 / G53.1.
What is the difference between the G68.1 and G68.2? What advantages do I gain from switching from .1 to .2?
The manuals lack detailed explanations so here I am. My research online is telling me that G68.1 is best for jobs where I turn a diameter then mill a feature all working from the machine centreline. My situation is that I want to be using the machine as a 5 axis mill with two tables ( fixtures on main and sub ) and therefore G68.2 is the better solution as it can handle off centre jobs and I can change the orientation of a part but reuse the code because the offset tied to the part, not to machine.
Am I wide of the mark?
