Programming and probing backup tools

[wilson424]

We have a new Haas EC 400 horizontal, with a work and tool probe. I am using the tool life management and it works great as long as the tool doesn't break or alarm out. 
 

I am pretty new to this type of programming, so I need some help on how to program for multiple backup tooling. 

Using the Tool life management, when I do a tool check probe I can't get it to change to the next available tool if  the tool never reached a condition that expires that tool.

I am using...

G65 P9853 B1. T#3026 S.5 H.005 M200

IF[#2200EQ1]GOTO100

GOTO322 (CONTINUE PROGRAM)

 

N100
T1032 M6 (1032 IS MY TOOL LIFE GROUP#)

 

I have got it to work if I add #8032=1, but that only works for that one tool (T32).

 

N100

#8032=1 (expire tool)

T1032 M6

If you have a Haas manual goto page 85 (advanced tool management area). This will explain how to setup your control to use backup tooling.
