ITNC 530 question M140

[ou812]

If i command a M140 after the TOOL CALL will it create an issues? I would like to do this to make sure there is Z retract before rotary axis re-positioning on restarts.

there can be a problem with MB only if there won't be enough space to move to programmed retract.

[ou812]

clearance is no issue. I just want to ensure it doesn't cancel any tool length information.

[ou812]

Also, is these a command goe sending a machine to axis extent? Like a Fanuc G91 G28 Z0

[steryd]

Not exactly. It goes away along tool axis. So if the plane would be tilted it won't move back along Z as G 28.

And it won't mess with tool length either.

thank you for the help. Have a great day.
