Sorry to hear about your part Stuart. I was listening at the the Wichita EMC2 fest. The following comments will illustrate whether or not I understood (in a general sense) a programming conversation about M codes.
Wouldn't it be possible to assign an M code to perform the reload tool table function? If yes, that would provide a short term fix because the M code could be part of the G code program. Ideally, tool table information would be read the same way most industry controls process this information (Fanuc, Yaskawa, Mitsubishi, etc.).
