Hi all,
Wondering how to change my home position to back right?
Also i would love to keep my X0 Y0 as front left. Is this possible?
I have limit switches and end of all travel for a Lasermatic 10
Also i have a ZBAITU it has similar set up to lasermatic regards limit switches etc. It does home back right but also X0 Y0 is set to same position. Is it possible on this machine to maintain home position but change X0 Y0 to front left
TIA
You can change those. Not sure about limit switches.
Here’s good instructions for what you’re asking.
Limit Switches - Diode Laser Wiki (diode-laser-wiki.com)
I dont need to do anything with my limit switches, just clarifying I have limit switches at all extremities so presumably can home anywhere.
Do i need to type in the this other information too?
Obviously the numbers all depend on work area size
So in my case i have 410 wide by 400
This depends on the behavior of your controller. If it zeros out the origin after homing then you would type this into Console:
G10 L2 P1 X-410Y-400
If it does not zero-out origin after homing then this will depend on your specific situation. The formula is basically:
G10 L2 P1 X[position_after_homingX-410]Y[position_after_homingY-400]
$23=2 got me to home where I want (top right)
In my move consol i hit get position and shows all zeros
I have my origin set where I want but the machine thinks it is at bottom left
Also my jog works ok on x axis but is inverted on y axis
I thought you wanted origin at bottom-left but homing to top-right. What am I missing?
What was the previous origin setting?
Were your jogging controls working correctly before? If so, changing $23 should not have changed that. Did you also change $3 or change Origin setting?
I worked it out. I needed to
Then i used $23 to set home position
When I did this my x y jog was not in the right directions so
i used $3 to correct XY travel direction
I went back to $23 to fix my home position
i used what you said ‘G10 L2 P1 X-410Y-400
All fixed
This was a great exercise. Now I can set up all three machines the same and i can share art work etc without having to invert it
Perfect. Glad you sorted it.
