Need Help!- FANUC16M Varibles

[kbspeed]

How do you write a varible that will reduce the tool offset in a Fanuc 16M.

That is a really loaded question. It really depends on what exactly you are trying to do.

If you are looking to keep reducing it throughout your program then you are going to need to setup a macro with some kind of conditions.

If you just want to adjust it one time or a few times throughout a long hand G-code program you can hard code it. According to the manual it is #2200 for the geometry and #2000 for the wear

This means you would have to identify which tool you want to adjust. If you wanted to adjust the geometry Z for tool 5 then you would use #2205=(). If you wanted tool 8 then it would be #2208=()

So my next question would be what exactly are you trying to do and why do you want to adjust the tool offset? This is not typical practice unless you are doing small adjustments to account for wear in the tool. The more info you give us the more solutions we can offer.

Assuming, tool no. 5 uses offset no. 5, and tool number 8 uses offset number 8, which is the usual choice.
