No positioner is used. Here are some pics.

Ok, I'll give the 6pt tcp setup another whirl.
Quick question if you don't mind. The torch itself has a curved neck. Going into setup, weave, and changing the elevation to -45deg seems to work. Could this be because I am compensating for the angle of the neck when I am doing so?

Yes sir, here is a pic.
Is it possible that when I did the 5 point procedure for finding tcp, I maybe moved the last 2 points the wrong way?

I followed the 5 point procedure for finding TCP. What I'm getting from your response is there is something else I need to do...or I did something wrong.

I have set up different weave schedules
Like I said in the last post, nothing changes the direction the torch weaves in. In the weave schedule you can change frequency, amplitude, l and r dwell. You have no way to change what plane you are weaving in
am I missing something?

This is the only way I have foinf to get my weave going in the right plane. If elevation is 0 it weaves flat. If it is -45 it weaves along the hypotenuse of an equilateral triangle. Nothing I change in the weave schedule when I hit data when I am editing a program changes this. Is there someplace else I need to go?

Hi folks, noobie here with a what I'm sure is a dumb question.
I have a fanuc arcmate with rj3-ib. Mig welding with fronius power supply. Having trouble figuring out how to store and call different group masks. My program I am writing now I can set the elevation to -45 deg in settings, weave, this works for my t fillet welds I have to do. However I need to weave flat as well, in which case I would have to set elevation to 0. It would make sense to me that you would save one group mask with one set of values, and then another with a different set of values, then call that group mask in the program before the relevant weld. When I change the values I don't see how to renumber and store that group mask with those settings. The only thing next to the function keys is type, 1, and *. Don't see how you can have group mask 3 or something.
This one has me stuck, thanks for reading and thanks for you help.
