The multi-tlo branch that Chris Radek wrote does not separate notions of "tool offsets" and "wear offsets". Instead it provides a general mechanism that allows the user to add together multiple offsets from the tool table we already have, and leaves the meanings of those offsets up to the user. For example, you could load tool 1 (T1 M6), then apply the offsets for tool 1 (G43 H1), and then add in the offsets for tools 1001 and 2001 (G43.2 H1001 G43.2 H2001). You could use "tool 1001" in your tool table to mean "wear on tool 1", and "tool 2001" to mean "bending of tool holder 1" or something, it's up to you. The resulting active tool offset would be the sum of the offsets for T1, T1001, and T2001 from the tool table. The Fanuc behavior could then be emulated by user policy and remapping of the T code. At least that's my somewhat shaky understanding. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
