Fanuc "Not 0" Control on VMC's?

[Ox]

A) I guess I don't understand the issue with "Relative"?

OK, well that's prolly not 100% accurate as [I'm sure that] we all have relatives that we're not sure about, and if not, then maybe WE are that relative? ... But that's another story for another day ....

What are you dooing to git the ABS screen to read Z-.08?

B) You say that the REL screen can be changed on the fly?
What / how doo you mean?

C) On your 16i, when you change it - you are staying with the last offset? Not back to Base?
(Clearing all FIX offsets)

Where does this (2018 year) "200FA" control fit in ? 2018 VMC with Fanuc MXP-200FA

A: Pretty sure it's 18 bit 5


B: I'm not sure if they changed the keystrokes on version D at all, but on all of my 0 controls, if you're on the position (relative) page (the one with big numbers), if you hit X (or Y, or Z), that letter will flash. if you hit CAN, you will clear that number to zero. It's like hitting "origin" on a 18 control.

Actually, unlike an 18, where you have to type 1 letter at a time, then hit origin for each one, on my zero controls i can type XYZ [CAN] and all 3 will clear to zero all at once.

It does nothing to affect your operation BUT it can mess with you if you're relying on the relative display for anything.


.
C: Yes. on my 16i If I'm using G55 and hit reset, g55 would still be active. Note that the tool length will not be active so z would "reset" to a value not considering tool length. But x and y would still be where they are relative to the part.

Looks like that's ycm's title for it. Might be labeled on the back of the control what it actually is. Or maybe in system info?

Yeah, 18.5 did that.
So - I guess that issue is fixed, but of all the issues, that was likely on the very bottom wrung of concerns....

Such is life ....
