Haven't played with the tool life management in a while, but if I remebember correctly it's picking up on the tool offset # not the location, so why not just use a differant offset # if the tooling changes. You can use a macro to tell the the program what tool you have in the machine, and have the program select what offset # to use depending on what tool your using.

Here is an older user manual. The tool life gets activated after a tool call AND going into a feed. You can find some explained in the "Instruction" Mitsubishi manual that came with the machine.
