Reversing turret tool position - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I have an Ikegai AZ20X (1985) with a Fanuc 6T control. I do not know if there is a G-code or M-code to reverse the direction of the turret tool head. I know that M-codes are machine specific, but I didn't know if anyone had some more experience than me with programming on this machine and control. Any help would be appreciated.

Try M16,m17,or M18, Most Likely M18

I've had no luck with the M17 & M18 codes, but I haven't tried an M16. Thanks for the info.

Motter,
It is M12. That reverses the NEXT tool change.

EG,

G28 U0 W0
M12
T0404
G00 x1.65 z0

Thanks for the tip, cacrawfo. It's been awhile since I visited the site. I'll give that code a try on Monday. Thanks again.

Problem solved. M12 command was the ticket. Thanks for the help.
