I'm trying to figure out how after a tool check finds that the tool is broken how to swap to a redundant tool and have the program go back to the start of that tool and rerun the sequence. Obviously this is for a small end mill that is side milling and not getting stuck in the part.
Make use of the advanced tool management and instead of calling up a specific tool/offset call up the tool group. Then use this quick tool check (it rapids instead of feeds).
O09613 (REN TOOL BRK)
keep in mind that this routine clears in Z, then after checking it clears in Z again.
so in program all you would put in is
G65 P9613
IF[#10101 EQ 1.0] GOTOnnnn (nnnn IS THE BEGINNING OF THE CUTTING CYCLE)
M99 (GO BACK TO MAIN)
