    TOOL CHANGER WASTED TIME

    Hey group, I am running a 1500 mm. VMC. and a 1000mm, I do not have a dedicated MATSUURA post for MASTERCAM so currently when I write a program which uses the tool that is already in the spindle, the machine still wastes some time with tool changer moves Z home etc. I am wondering if this needed or if I can just launch the program without any wasted moves as such, any clues ? Thank you
