3> We have a 1982 Bostomatic with a manual tool changer.

This is the code for a typical tool change

N1575 G1Z2.0RM5M9
N1580G49R
N1585G39D0.
N1590M0 T4 1/2 SOLID CARBIDE E/M H
N1595T4
N1600G39D0.0
N1605G1M3S99F5.0
N1610G4X10.
N1615G48R

and this is the Bostomatic template @TOOLCHG section to that produces
the code

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Machine define questions

I need to define  "SMF" files for a couple of recently acquired milling
machines. I have 3 questions I was hoping someone might answer for me.
1> SmartCAM comes with several generic Fanuc "SMF" files (fan_b.smf;
FANUC.smf; m_fansub.smf and m_fanuc.smf). What are the differences?

2> Referring to question 3 in machine define, what is a "TTS" file, what
does it do, and do I need to have anything in here? The reason I ask is
that I have several mills already and I only have "TTS" files in the
lathe section.

3> One of these machines is a retrofitted Lucas HBM without a tool
changer. Can I force a message block and an "M00" in place of the tool
change codes (Tword, M06, etc.).

Thanks
