M06 Tool Transfer
Depending upon your 7300 configuration, M06 can be executed in two
ways:
all tool change operations must be handled by the PAL program.
Note: This is the way M06 works on the 9/Series control.
or
the active tool offset is cancelled and the axes move to a predefined tool
change position.
In order for your control to do this, you have to reconfigure your AMP.
We recommend that you do the following:
Set This AMP Parameter: To:
Move Tool to 7300/M06 Position True.
7300/M06 Home Parameter home position for each axis.
Refer to your 9/Series CNC AMP Reference Manual for details on these
parameters.
Important: When the control is in 7300 mode, tool offsets will always be
in delayed/delayed mode, regardless of the AMP setting. When the system
is not in 7300 mode, tool offsets will follow the AMP selections (i.e.,
immediate/immediate, immediate/delayed, or delayed/delayed).
Tool Length Offset
When the control is in 7300 mode, tool length offsets are activated in the
same manner as on the 7300. The control supports up to 4 digit T-words,
and through AMP configuration, you have the flexibility of specifying how
the control activates offsets.
Important: Since tool changers vary in style, size and function,the system
installer is responsible for specific implementations through PAL. Refer to
the PAL programming manual and the manual supplied by the system
installer for more details.
