Re: Tsugami BS 18 III
I am not familiar with your machine. What control is on it?
It sounds to me that your origin is set to a specific spot and your machine is moving from that. As an example I set my lathes up to have Z0 at the chuck face so if I am 20" away from my chuck and I program Z10 it will move in the negative direction to Z10 + of the chuck.
1 way to check this is to program Z0 and if the machine moves in the negative direction then you know your origin is set negative of the current position you were at when you programmed the Z0.
Do you use any kind of workcoordinates like G54-G59 or fixture offsets?
