On the cnc lathes I'm aware of tools positions are never swapped during tool changes. So T0101 is tool position 1 offset 1
T010101 is tool position 1 offset 1 wear offset 1 Tool position , offset , and wear offset are all complete independent and can be mixed. This is for okuma lathes but the premise is the same for others. ----- Reply message ----- From: "andy pugh" <bodge...@gmail.com> To: "EMC developers" <emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [Emc-developers] Tormach GUI Date: Thu, Jul 10, 2014 6:47 PM On 10 June 2014 17:42, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > The G43 variant doesn't just let you have compouind offsets using the > LinuxCNC "Mill" style toolchange, it also means that using the G43 > variation with a Remapping of the T-word would allow T1020 to call a > G-code sub ... > There will, of course, be implementation details not mentioned here: And there were, but not too horrible. (and I learned some stuff). It needs a python prolog to transfer the number from the T command into a parameter that the G-code sub can see, and the normal stdglue.py code complains at any T-number without a pocket number. In the Fanuc scheme does the "pocket" number come from the T-word, or the tool table? ie, is T0101 always pocket 1, or can the tool table put tool 1 in pocket 3? The latter case appears to require some of the behaviour to be encoded in the remap python, not the ngc sub. I have the first case apparently working in a sim on top of the G43.2 branch. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
