I've never delved to deeply into how these are setup and the subs that do it are hidden and protected. All you do to change tools is type T3 press start and the machine puts away the tool in the spindle (if there is one) then picks up tool #3. Two or our machines that do not use M6 are 0i and the other one is a 210i.
----- Original Message ----- not seen one that didnt use m6 what does it use? the before mentioned macro or a subprogram? and yes as elated to and didnt respond to andys statement of when it tool changes it picks up the info for tools. no the fanuc does not read h offset until g43 then h # and it does not read d offset untill g42 or 43 and d # , and as mentioned before the beauty especially on the lathe is to be able to use t1 d 1 for one segment then t1 d11 for another segment -- jeremy youngs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
