Hi,
We are searching for information on G43.2 functionality on a Fanuc 15. We have an old 15MA being retrofit to 30iB and the old posted code had a G43.2 in it. The 30i doesn't accept it, and we aren't able to find information on functionality. We do find information on G43.1 and .4 though. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry

G43.2 is dynamic tool offset?

Can you post a program example where this is used?
I cannot find any reference to G43.2 in my manuals.

Thanks for the responses. Sorry I do not have an example of it's use in a program. I did get this response from Fanuc. It sounds like it has been replaced in later version controls.
The G43.2 issue, Rotary Head Dynamic Tool length. This was option on 15MA, and special option on 30i that may be restricted to specific MTB. However, High Speed smooth TCP may be better solution

Ah yes, tool center point control.
I am exploring that for one of my customers right now.
Be advised you will need some drive tuning and set up done for this to work correctly.
Plus, this is not something that Fanuc normally does (their words, not mine).
So you should plan on at least 3-5 days for them to set this function up in your machine.
At current pricing of $180 per hour plus travel and lodging, it will be a bit spendy.
But if you need it........
