Different machine Different results

I was running a part that has had a old program on it on a global s 9.15.9 chrome. I found it oot. I was told that part has to be ran on the 7.10.7 global advantage. So I did and found it to be good. Same part same program same head and porbes. Why would this part run good on 1 machine and not on the other? I can run other parts to within a couple tenths of each other on both machines but not this one.

  • I think Cris_C nailed it with comment about improper alignment level, or missing rotation. Those were common occurrences in my fixing issues. Additionally, programs (by previous guy) would start measuring from machine coordinates, so there was no initial part alignment. That doesn't quite seem to be your issue necessarily. I would double check alignments and ensure each is "complete" individually-not merely an update of a RECALLed alignment.


    One of the things that I have learned (from someone here or the other forum) is to recall the machine coordinate system (STARTUP) when building the 6 DOF alignment. IMO it cleans the garbage out of the alignment process

    A_B_C =ALIGNMENT/START,RECALL:STARTUP,LIST=YES
    ALIGNMENT/LEVEL,YPLUS,PL_A
    ALIGNMENT/ROTATE,ZPLUS,TO,PL_B,ABOUT,YPLUS
    ALIGNMENT/TRANS,XAXIS,PT_C
    ALIGNMENT/TRANS,YAXIS,PT_A
    ALIGNMENT/TRANS,ZAXIS,PT_B
    ALIGNMENT/END
