 |
|
This simple macro automates setting tools on a Mazak mill with a tool eye. The operator enters the starting tool number to be set in #537 and the ending tool number in #538. You could change #537 and #538 to a variable for a tool number if that would be more convenient. See Not Enough Common Variables for details on how to use tool numbers for variables. For example, change #537 to #2064 to use tool offset 64 instead of macro variable 537.
You will need to edit the line IF[#537GT29]GOTO100 to equal the number of tools in your machine's tool changer. This machine had a 30 station tool changer but station 30 is dedicated to a Renishaw probe.
