Hi guys
I'm new to the fanuc controller, but have 15-20 years of experience with Siemens and Heidenhain.
My workplace bought a brand new Robodrill with 21 tool holders.
On both Heidenhain and Siemens you can have e.g. T50 in holder nr.1. and you just call T50, but on the Fanuc I can only have T1 in holder nr.1 etc.
Is there any way to get about this, because we have a rather comprehensive tool library already setup in MasterCam and we are used to identify our tools by their respective number?
On Heidenhain/Siemens you save the length etc. with the tool number.
On Fanuc you save it under a H-number.
Do you save the tools used, along with a tool offset list with every program, like a project? If so, how is this done?
Regards Jacob
