Thanks a bunch guys!!! I was about to pull my hair out from messing with this all day long. Turns out my problem was the code tool numbers and the mach3 tool numbers did not match up. Even though i was picking them manually between the cycles the execute function was not working to turn the tool on.
Your program needs a T1 M6 command to load a tool from the toolchanger and an G43 H1 command to load the length offset for that tool. It is simplist if you use H1 with T1, H2 with T2. Even if you do not have a toolchanger, the T number in your program is really only for your reference, because the H number will execute the length offset. |
Live and you learn!!! i cut my first piece out 10 min ago!!!
2 tool changes and it all worked great!!!!! little rough, on the finish but im a noobie!!!
WOOHOO so happy now!
