wvines,
Thanks for your speedy reply.
I'm not sure I understand what the "H" code stands for but I guess I was under the impression that by the CAM software specifying the "T7" that the CAM software referenced the tool tip to zero and that the control program would use the tool height offset from the controller tool table for the tool# specified. I was thinking that the tool height in the CAM tool table was just for reference so one could select the correct tool that would be referenced by the "T" code If you know what I mean.
Could you explain why the values from both tool tables are used as it seems redundant.
I'm sure that there must be a good reason and that I just don't understand enough yet for it to make sense.
NTL - You may have just saved me from a trip to the insane asylum. I guess I have a lot to learn yet!
***something just struck me - Is the T# only used for selecting the tool for the tool changer and the H# used for selecting the tool offset from the controller tool table?????***  |
