Working with alignments.

Does any of you work with alignments in NC? I have never gotten them to work, so I gave up on them. But maybe I am just not smart enough? Anybody out there that has written alignments into programs and still getting the right G-code?

I'd be very interested in code that actually works. Please post some samples, if you have something that works.

I work exclusively with FANUC 15i and 30i.

Thanks man! I found the Ignorerotab, but the other one is new to me. I will go after it later today.

I have successfully used the alignments to create new coordinate systems when I rotate my pallet (B axis). Then I use these alignments to update my work offsets. SO I can then machine in the rotated coordinate system.

Two key commands to invesigate.

Ignorerotab (Ignore rotary table)

After you create a new alignment use the Compute Workoffset command to compute a workoffset update. This will output a .wrk file to update your offsets (if you are using a serial port). I believe if you are using ethernet this will happen automatically.
