hplus 300

[medaq]

Dont know if anyone can help finding this value.

 

Machine is a matsuura hplus 300 fanuc 16I control

 

Need to find the value in the 16i control that determines the tool staged.

 

#4120 is present tool in head.

 

But which value has next staged tool?

 

Thanks jim

Normally we capture #4120 immediately after the M6 in our toolchange MACRO in a #1XX variable. Once the next tool gets staged, variable #4120 now has the next tool in it. so after the stage tool line you could add a line like #151=#4120

Actually that does help. Dont really need a staged tool number. Sicne I am recording it to #517 already. I just needed to know when they change.

 

I did not know when #4120 was changed. I always though it represented the head tool. Now I know it changes at the stage point.

 

Thanks James

You're welcome!

 

Are you Jim?

You will have to do this like James has told you. There is no system variable for preselected tools on this machine.
