I'm needing to do tool changes after , lets say 30 minutes. I figure I will use the Tool Life Manaement on this Fanuc Control.
Except I can't get it t work.
I've gone over Param 6800 .
I'm setting it using he G10L3 command with a Q2 for minutes.
I see the group with my tools in it.
I start the program
Program reads the T101 M6 command.
At the top of the tool life page "Next Tool Group" changes to 01.
That's it. The tools aren't being shown as in use or availabe... nada.
To test it I set the duration to 1 minute. Tool keeps driling.
I know there are others out there who have dealt with this and I need your
advice. I don't want to make a macro, I want this machine to change the tool after a set amount of time.
What am I missing. I have scoured the manuals and they are no help.
