Hi,
I have a denford senior and a cyclone machine fitted with Fanuc ot The problem I have is that the auto offset measure function is not enabled
(e.g MZ0 input) can anybody suggest a solution ? every other ot system I have used has always had this function.
Thanks,

some information I have suggests para 906 x1xx xxxx leaves x's as they are.

No guarentee I ain't got an OT so be careful might be something different...

might want to reset your controller so back up first including diagnostics and especially 900 series param's...

don't come running to me when you break your leg.....

Hi,

The offset measure is a 900 parameter that is set and I think its the one mentioned. I am not sure but I think it is somthing you are suposed to purchase.

If an engineer ever comes to service the machine they will check the 900 parametre are as ordered so make sure you set them as they should be.

I am sure if you order it from Fanuc they will charge you for an engineer to come out and change the parameter they will not let you do it yourself.

You end up paying £60 for the engineers travel time and also for the offset measure function! Nice work if you can get it :shock:

my opinion is it's my machine I'll do what I want

If mr fanuc put it there but don't want me to use it then he can pay rent for the storage! :lol:

my information suggests 270 bucks oh and needs PMC :wink:
