Hi Andy, Does your remapped M6 contain an M6? (It should) Yes. The M6 triggers the turret hal module to rotate to the correct tool. Les -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech

I spent some more time looking into this and it appears to be a problem with M72. My tool change sub uses M73 to save feed rate, units etc so it can do the tool change moves without affecting the main running code. At the end I had M72 to restore everything before my G43. That causes G43 to act

The first thing I would check is what subroutine are you calling. Since this is immediately after an update you may be calling an old subroutine without the G43 line. On Sat, Aug 25, 2018, 4:18 AM Les Newell wrote: > Yes there is but I was actually paying attention to the tool length > rather th

Yes there is but I was actually paying attention to the tool length rather than diameter. I generally do diameter compensation in cam rather than the control. Les On 24/08/18 23:24, jeremy youngs wrote: Is there a g40 in your prep line ? ---

I'm in the process of rebuilding a large router which has an 8 station ATC. I have overridden M6 to do the positioning and sequencing. This all works fine. At the end of my toolchange subroutine I have G43H#5400 to automatically apply the offsets for that tool. Now for the odd bit. If I do a t
