Hello
first, sorry for my bad english.

Can me anyone explain what this line of Fanuccode (milling) exactly means:

G43 H1 Z2 T1034

I know
G43 means Tool length compensation with memory cell 1 (H1) and go to Z 2, but what mean T1034 in this Line?

thanks for your help

Hello kean

I believe, this is the preselection of the next tool.

Yes, and it sounds like you're using the "Tool Group" method of tool selection. The standard tool numbers are a 3-digit max. Tool group is 8 digit.

Hallo again

Thanks for your reply.

Where can i find more about the Tool Group method.
Up to now i think for example TXXYY mean,
TXX: preselect tool no. XX for toolchange and
(T)YY: use the memory cell YY for tool length compensation for tool XX.
