Thank you so much for this. I knew it would save me a bunch of time... but it isn't covered in the book, and I was losing my mind trying to figure it out. Same with HO, I didn't realize it was a command promp rather than an MDI word. Mark
I will be running a fadal 4020 in a few days after about 15 years without running a fadal. To go to zero is there no way to go into mdi and simply enter the codes? Normally on all other machines after pickup I simply type in g0 g90 g54-x0-y0 and hit start. If there is no way to use g codes in mdi--and instead I have to go to multiple pages and relearn all fadals pages of a totally different system I will be lost the first day. Another question is the relative page for positions when such as to pick up center of a block I sweep one side and hit zero on relative then jog over and sweep the other side and divide the total distance by 2--then g91 to go to zero and zero the axis. I then go g54--and rapid over the same distance to confirm the edge sweeps zero. Those things above to me ive used for decades and hopefully I can still do that on the fadal. By not using the relative page to hit zero I of course can always look at the position and move over and do the math--however that also will be tedious--hopefully there is a way to use mdi and simply zero the part in the normal manner instead of 20 pages of fadal specific stuff. It will be fine after a day or 2 anyway. to me the controller quirks of each machine mean nothing after a day or 2.
@PasiKuikka Yeah, I guess that's true. I work in a job shop with short run orders so I guess that's just what I'm used to. I constantly tear down and set up jobs using different tool and fixture offsets.
Me podrían ayudar tengo una fadal 4020 de 1993 y tengo muchos problemas para iniciar, yo he manejado para una compañía una haas 2011, pero es muy diferente de la fadal quisiera que me ayuden con un video subtitulado en español desde el inicio para poder iniciar la máquina y configuración de las alturas de las herramientas, los Cero Home de cada eje por favor ayúdeme estoy desesperado y no quiero des configurar la VMC por favor
I'M A NEWBIE, older guy starting new job on Fadal. You saved my bacon, man.
Very good! It's been awhile since I ran old Fadal this was a great refresh!

Thank you for taking the time to make this very helpful video!
thank you you for time to make videos
7:50 clarity on + vs - side of fixture for edge finder
you never did the z offset. How does my program know how far Z to go.
with the coax indicator I just run the spindle at 90 rpm and jog till it zeros out. A lot easier than spinning by hand.

but you didn't show how to do the fixture offset for the Z height.
u dont need the Z
Hi sir
Do you can help me how i can do BHC on my fadal 2016L.
Thank you
Thank you for the education
Why didn’t you move in half the distance of the edge finder ?
He told the machine the diameter of the edge finder. The machine automatically adjusts for half the distance
I have never heard somebody refer to a coaxial indicator as a circle gage...
why don't you need to input z on fixture offset
You set Z separately in the tool height offset
