Maybe I'm missing something here, but how can you change the tool, higher
than the tool change level? doesn't the spindle have to be at the same
level as the carousel?

You could try using an incremental positive Z move immediately after the
tool change.
i.e.
G91 G28 Z0
T1 M06
G91 Z4.0
G90

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Haas tool change question
We work with tall fixtures on large angle plates on a Haas VF2 mill. The
tool change level is about 4" lower than the highest point of the spindle
travel. The G91 G28 Z0 line takes the spindle to tool change level, and
sometimes this isn't high enough to clear the fixture.
My question is this:
Does anyone know another code, or some other way to have the spindle go all
the way up?
I am currently adding lines at the machine like: G00 G90 G54 Z8.0
(depending on where part Z zero is) to take the spindle as high as
possible, but this changes with each program and setup.
Thanks,
Bob.
