Title: Fanuc tool change
|
Lee,
I don't have a 18m Fanuc book
but you are right #5023 is a system variable. You must find the variable number
in the book under custom macros.

Dave,
That program runs great as long as I skip line
6 with it I get a parameter error. Do you think 5023 is a parameter
to enter active tool z value? that param must be different on my control.
I'll look into it.

This is what I
use. You must have macro B turned on in your machine. Program starts at tool
#1
O1999
(TOOL-SETTING PROGRAM)
N1#100=1(SET
#100 EQUAL TO FIRST TOOL)
N2DO1(BEGINNING OF LOOP)
N3T[#100](SELECT
TOOL)
N4M6(TOOL CHANGE)
N5M0(SET TOOL OFF
Z0)
N6#[2000+#100]=#[5023](MACHINE Z0 INTO OFFSET)
N7G0G91G28Z0(RAPID
TO Z AXIS ZERO RETURN)
N8#100=#100+1(INCREMENT TO NEXT
TOOL)
N9END1(END INDEFINITE LOOP)
N10G90(SWITCH BACK TO ABSOLUTE
COORDINATES)
M30

everyone,
I'm looking for
ideas and suggestions on the best way to automatically change a predefined
number of tools for entering tool length offsets into a Fanuc 18-m. Our
control doesn't seem to have this option. We run allot of short runs and
using MDI to type tool number +M6 up to 30 times is a waste. It also would
be nice to store the Z value at the same time. This should be a simple
command, right? By the way I know this isn't a SC question but I know you
guys\gals can help me out.
