New machine day!

New machine day!

Several months back a smartass response to a machine tool broker led to this. My first 5-axis machine! (Not my first time running or programming multi axis). It's got scales, it's got TSC, it's got a laser tool setter. I've got a steep learning curve ahead of me.

Does anyone want to be my Heidenhain spirit guide?

Litz/ TNC530 Heidenhain newbie

I just received a new to me 2014 Litz Hitec LU-620 equipped with a tnc530 control.

Currently struggling with new machine setup issues and could use some basic control guidance to make sure I'm not just doing things wrong at the control.

Once I've powered up is jogging as simple as putting the machine in manual mode and pressing the axis move buttons? I currently can't get the machine to unclamp the b and c axis.

I've run fadal, Haas, and siemens controls before and have done a significant amount of multi axis programming. I could really use a chat with someone that has tnc530 multi axis experience. Big bonus if you're a fusion user too.
