Hi all, im relatively new to cnc programming and im experiencing problems getting a tool life cycle program to work on one of the nc lathe's at my workplace, i want to have 2 tool groups(2 different types of tools) with with 5 tools in each group. tools 1,3,5,7,9, in group 1 and tools 2,4,6,8,10 in group 2.
The programming below will work for tool group 1, it is proven.
why won't it work when i substitute the macro numbers with others and change TO199(tool group 1) with T0299(tool group 2) for the second tool/group? any help or direction will be greatly appriciated thanks

(TOOL COUNTER)
IF[#550GT4800] GOTO 25
N10
T0199
#552 =1
#550 =550+552
IF[#550EQ4800] GOTO20
GOTO 40
N20#3000=3(RESET TOOLS)
N25 550=0
GOTO 10
N40

Do you have the tool life management option in your machine? Because it looks like you are trying to mix macro programming with tool life management tool groups. While I have not done a ton of programming with tool groups, this does not look like anything I have done before. I always had a separate program to initialize the tool groups, then it was a simple tool call. So, what flavor of Fanuc control are you trying to get this done on.

N25 550=0 ???

GOTO 10
N40

Typo?

Dear Friends...
I need to know totall cutting lenghts on FANUC Oi in order to manage tool life.

There is any opportunaty to see it?
