Hello,
How does one set the workpiece datum point x0 y0 to be at the end and at the center line of the Billet on Starturn FanucL (training) program.
X0,Y0 is currently referenced from the machine datum top left on simulation.
Kind Regards,
SRG
Setting Workpeice / Billet Datum point?

Re: Setting Workpeice / Billet Datum point?
Ok I've found the answer....
The gcode output from the cam programme issued a G50 X0 Y0 which home's the datum to the last moved point.
G0 X0 Z0 (moves to end of billet centre line)
G0 X40 Z10 ( move to new position )
G50 X0 Z0 (Sets datum of last moved position to X0 Y0)
Cheers
