Thank you for the video. Just for clarity. 1) I set manually a G54 on my machine say a fixed point on a fixture like a vice (X,Y& Z =0) 2) use probing cycle to get my work zero (G55) ?
Hi Xander, so if you probe only the X-axis coordinate for G55 using G54. the G55 will takes the Y/Z coordinates from G54 and add the new X coordinates? example if originally G54 is X100, Y100, Z100 and G55 is X0, Y0, Z0 and now you probe to G55 X-axis only based on G54 you get the machine controller to have X(measured), Y100, Z100?
Hi Xander, great video on the latest fusion 360 stuff! Two things, just found your channel and when I subscribed I saw you're also into drones. I fly a Phantom 3, and would love to see some drone related fusion projects. Also curious about the vises in you model, are they commercial vises? if so what brand are they. I really like the way the jaw is moved. Thanks Terry
Thank you Terry! I already reverse engineered my gimbal in Fusion 360 so I could machine a replacement motor mount, as well as doing some simulations on it for fun. I'll definitely keep this suggestion in mind for future videos! I'd love to combine my 2 hobbies more. The vice is available in the CAM samples project, and it's the CHIC one lok vice. We've already put the joints in it as well! If you'd like to see other Vices, let me know! I'll be adding more to the samples project soon hopefully!
On the project data panel, if you look at/scrool to the bottom, you should see a section that says samples. Under that you should see a project called "CAM Samples." They should all be in there!

Jim Van Eeckhoutte your spindle speed is over 99,999 rpm or is less than 0. check the spindle speed for all your operations. try changing them to 5,000 if they are over 10,000 and see if that posts.
Disappointing and plain wrong tutorial has a couple of major howlers. Try to use it like this and you're in for a major disaster. The obvious one is that with the probing options shown, neither G55 nor G56 has its z-origin set. They'll have to be set manually to be the same as G54 before you start. Even bigger is the lack of understanding of what the probe ops actually do. If you probe the centre of a bore or of a rectangular boss, it does NOT move the target origin to the point found by the probe. It moves the target origin so that the point found by the probe has the coordinates in the target wcs that the model indicates it should have. If you use G54 to update G55 by probing the centre of a bore that should be at 50, 50 mm and you find the centre at 51, 48, then the G55 origin is set to be the G54 origin moved by 1, -2 so that in G55 space, the centre of the bore is at 50, 50 as it should have been. It's not a small difference and if this guy had ever tried it, he would have found out pretty quickly. Once you've got that, you'll realise all the nonsense about folders is completely unnecessary for this example. If the author of this video was correct, then the folders would need not only to change the WCS specification, but also to redefine the machining origin.
Hi David, I was trying to probe in the program for the first time and I also questioned why the Z height was not proped. I am a bit confused. Normally I probe my part again in the 2nd operation after facing and I like to do this in program. If I up G54 my part coordinate system will walk in space slightly. So I want to use the G55 after facing. But on the machine G55 is 0, 0, 0 what happens to the Z will z get updated?
@@anglerfishcreativelighting6494 Here's a decent tutorial on how to do probing with video from the machine of what it does. From about half way, you'll see how I approach 2nd op. th-cam.com/video/lMLcEQuZhDk/w-d-xo.html

Hi can we have and aggressive video on this soon please. I would like to see how to do some inspection routines if possible. Cheers
Hi Xander, so if you probe only the X-axis coordinate for G55 using G54. the G55 will takes the Y/Z coordinates from G54 and add the new X coordinates? example if originally G54 is X100, Y100, Z100 and G55 is X0, Y0, Z0 and now you probe to G55 X-axis only based on G54 you get the machine controller to have X(measured), Y100, Z100?
Would've been nice to just show us how to integrate probe to set g54 xyz inside of a program. So we could just jog to location and hit cycle start
Hmm good idea, I'll have to get on a machine later and make a quick video with that idea. Gotta find a machine to borrow first though.
The best explanation of this feature. thanks
Awesome tutorials!! Subscribed!

Where can i find CAM samples project in fusion 360?? CHERRZZ

So the Generic Haas Post will not output Probe routines?
Jim Van Eeckhoutte it should post them
It errors out with Spindle out of range
Jim Van Eeckhoutte make a post on the fusion CAM forum and tag @xanderluciano and attached your file and I'll give it a look. Thanks!

My concern is how does the probe know where to go with regards to the Z axis🤔
