Changing/resetting the table position during a tool change?

[Jim Ster]

I've got a Mori Accumill 4000 and I'd like to change the location of the mill table during tool changes. The stock tool change position setting puts the mill table directly under the tool changer arm during tool changes and if I have a tall part to cut with long tooling, I run the risk of crashing the tool into the part.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim

We use a sub program call prior to tool changes on our FM-2 in our case it is program O0098.
example
<NC CODE>
M98 P98;
Tnn;
M06;
<NC CODE>
