    Change position numbers in turret

    Hi,
    In a Fanuc 21iT with a hydraulic turret I would like to change the position for each tool. This is, currently when I command slot 1, the machine is going for slot 1, then commanding slot 2 the machine goes lets say in CW direction.
    I would like to change the slot 2 position to another location (so that the turret rotates in CCW), but in a way what the machine would understand the new position as the correct one.
    Slot 1 is the master and it is correct.
    The reason is that I changed the turret disc and the new disc have the numbering in the reverse order, and in this way when I ask for slot 3, in the mark that is present on the disc it ends on slot 9.

    Or maybe it would be better to mill the disc numbers ....

    Turret positions

    Not all machine builders do their turret logic the same. It is a function of your machines PMC Ladder. If you can just renumber your disk it will work better.

    Yes, I will mill the disc and insert new numbers
