@Redlinecnc I am getting an ‘machine travel exceeded’ error during a manual tool change. The Realtime post processor is set to G53, however, there is no G53 offset set on the controller. What is the fix for this?
G53 is the machine pos, the Z.200 here is the problem as machine can on travel negative in Z from home pos.
G53 is used to identify absolute machine positions. When you home the machine, your setting G53 X,Y and Z zero. So you could say every program uses G53.
G54 is typically used as a work offset from G53, and is set when you zero out XY and Z on your part.
During a program, the machine will switch back and forth between G53, and G54 when running a part.
It is weird that your program doesnt have a G54 command in the first few lines. If you search the code further down, do you see a G54 command?
Typically your toolpath programming software has a setting where you dictate what work offset (G54, G55, G56… etc) you would like the program to be posted as. Maybe its set to G53, when it should be set to G54?
You could also try manually editing the G53 to G54 in notepad, and see if that makes the program run.
G53 will move the machine if it is included in a line of G-code. It will move in accordance with the last movement code set, i.e. G90 or G91. “G53 G90 G0X15” will move the machine to X-axis 15 in absolute (machine) coordinates. G53 is non-modal; it must be included in every line where machine coordinate movements are desired.
