My most recent problem did turn out to be air related, thanks for the responses. I’ve had to reset Z0 due to some hardware problems at the control ( long story). I followed the manual’s instructions; touch off tool, save and record level in origin table, then measure and record tool lengths in offset table. Now however, changing that Z0 value in the origin table ( for a waste board surfacing cut for instance) does not cause any of the tools to cut at the newly entered level. In fact new lengths in the offset table also effect nothing. I’m sure I’ve not associated something correctly but can’t determine what that something is. Thoughts?Thanks in advance for any help.

Screenshots please - maybe I will remember what I used to do. I ran one of these controls for 5 or so years.

Is the Z axis moving. If I recall these had crazy opening strings in the post calling the work offsets, and then cancelling the when done and heading back home.

I found and old post for my Biesse Arrow with this control.

Here are the instructions for the opening lines of the program:

if(scale == metric) then

post.Text (" G71 ;Units: Metric\n") --metric mode

else

post.Text (" G70 ;Units: Inches\n") --inch mode

end

post.Text (" G40 G90\n @ASYNC=1\n A0\n")

post.Text (" G0 G79 Z0\n")

post.Text (" G0 G79 X0 Y0\n")

post.Text (" M500 M5 M20\n")

post.Text (" M700 M9 M22\n")

post.Text (" M100\n")

post.Text (" M67 M68\n")

That stuff just zeros everything out to make sure new instructions don't crash anything.

post.Text (" T.0M06\n")

post.Text (" G0 G79 Z0\n")

post.Text (" (UAO,1)\n")

post.Text (" (UTO,3,XE1,YE2,ZE3)\n")

post.Text (" CET=0.5\n")

That sections calls the work or table offsets to use. I think we changed ZE3 when we surfaced the spoilboard, but I'm not positive.

Can send the you the post if you DM me. I can't find any other info left after I purged it all.
