Hi All,

When I have set all the tool offsets on my Mirac, how can I do a datum shift to adjust the length of the finished part.

On my Triac I can adjust the Z axis datum offset and all the tools are adjusted, how is this done on the Mirac?

I am using V2.25 software, is this the latest version for DOS?

Thanks

Graham.

OK, no reply to that question, lets try this one.

Can I use G10 to offset the Z axis datum?

If yes how is it implemented?

Thanks

Graham

Hi - sorry for no replies this weekend - most of us use the forum during working hours.

Sorry if its an obvious one, but have you looked at the DOS turning manual:
viewtopic.php?t=953

There is a lot of info on setting the X and Z coordinate values which I presume is the global "work" offset, then it goes on to describe setting the tool offsets for each tool.

From what I rememeber, when you go into Tool Offest you get an X and Z global offset (work shift), and below this the inidividual tool offests

I think you can do work shift in program too but don't have the software installed here to try. Take a look in the help - possibly G50 or G92?

Hi,

thanks for the replying, I did download the user guide but the offset part is not like my setup.

My Mirac is the all in one type and when I press on the offset button all I get is a list of X,Z,R,T's there is no global X and Z within the offset list.

April 1995 software version 2.25

Please forward any details you have about this machine. Can this machine be updated?

Many thanks

Graham

Unfortunately your Mirac PC has a LCB3 control system in it and therefore Denford's cannot offer an upgrade
