I have two Makinos here, an A51nx that I have had for about a year and a new PS95 that I just took delivery of last week. On the A51 I use the Makino control side for tool offsets so the values are transferred to the 1st offset in the Fanuc side via a M56 call. My post is set up to output H1 D2 for the tool offsets. When setting tools using my probe the values appear to be input into the Makino side. I would like to PS95 to work this way.
Currently on the PS95 the tool offsets appear to be input into the Fanuc side under the respective tool number. If I set the length of tool 15 using the tool setter (OTS) the value in the Makino side remains zero and the length offset in the Fanuc side is set under tool 15. Anyone know how to change this to work like my A51? I plan to call PQI monday but I really need to get some work done this weekend.
Thanks,
Bob
