Hi.
I have an issue with creating a postprocessor for milling text on a T3 with EIA/ISO option.
I am not able to do straight lines.
If I create a program like this:
G0 X100 Z2 C0
G1 Z-0,1
G1 X100 C90

It will go for the red line in the picture below.
How can I make it go for the green line?


Cant find anything about this in the programming manual:

My fellow comrades and I are about to pull the trigger on a 5 axis mill for toolroom use.
Sounds overkill, but it's not if you've seen our modular tooling system.

Having been through the options we're basically at a choice between a used Variaxis i600 2013 with a Matrix 2 control and a brand new CV5-500 with the Smooth X control.
Clearly the i600 is mechanically the superior machine but I was hoping someone could shed some insight on what owning a 30k hour
Mazak is like? If anyone has experience with a CV5 and can compare even better. Clearly the control is newer but cutting performance is difficult to deduce as it's quite new and a UK only machine so limited exposure.
The i600 is in very good condition visually.
We're concerned about the on-costs and reliability, parts availability etc with the older model vs the benefits of the extra poke.
They're basically the same price.
Also if anyone knows how much space you actually *need* behind the i600 to get the swarf conveyer and coolant tank out that would help as we're dead tight on space.
Any thoughts or insights I'd grateful appreciate, cheers.

Hello,

I have a problem with my machine. I can't open and close chuck from the program (If I do it manually, everything works fine). As for the sensors, they are pulled out (this is how I bought the machine). Both sensors shine and work at close range. However, if I hook them up, the machine shows error 215. What could have happened here?
