Introduction In the world of CNC machining, precision is everything. A misalignment of just 0.001 inches can scrap a part costing thousands of dollars. Among the hundreds of system parameters that control a Fanuc CNC controller, Parameter 1860 often stands out as both a powerful tool and a potential hazard. fanuc parameter 1860 full
Since 1 unit = 0.001 mm: 5.000 mm / 0.001 mm per unit = 5000 units | Method | When to Use | Risk
When you adjust Parameter 1860, you are not moving the physical limit dog. You are electronically shifting where the control the grid point is. No permanent machine change
| Parameter | Name | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Grid Shift (Reference Position) | Shifts the grid point for all reference returns. Used for mechanical dog adjustment. | | 1851 | Grid Shift Fine | Fine adjustment (usually in 1/1000 mm or 1/100000 inch increments). | | 1860 | Reference Position Shift | Shifts the position the machine considers "Zero" after the reference return is complete. Often used with Absolute Pusle Coders. |
