Hy, please for lb3000, i need variable to read compensation radius on X and Z axis, event if they are the same.:drowning:

[budgieW]

Try these

VNSRX X-axis nose radius compensation amount VNSRX[12] = 0.020
VNSRZ Z-axis nose radius compensation amount VNSRZ[12] = 0.020

hello, thx 4 answer ... please, i need it a bit different

For example, if i have in code T020202, i dont want to call vnsrx[02], but simple vnsrx ...
So, i need to read the radius compensation for the tool that is active, without pointing to that tool again.

T020202
...
do something with vnsrx[02]

i change after a while the tool, so i will need to modify the program in 2 places :

T030303 ( modify )
...
do something with vnsrx[03] ( modify )

i would like to modify only the tool, so to make only one modification :

T030303 ( modify )
...
do something with vnsrx - should work automatically for the active tool


maybe is possible ....

VATOL is the tool currently in the spindle, so how about:

VNSRX[VATOL]

[deadlykitten]

hi, vatol is not working ... i have osp-p300L ...

[ghyman]

Sorry, my bad... turning centers use VETLN rather than VATOL.

[deadlykitten]

k, i'll try it tomorow ... also, vatol should work on mills ?

[ghyman]

VATOL is the tool number that is currently in the spindle on mills... a word of caution, VATOL contains the tool number from the most-recently completed tool change. 99% of the time, that should be the tool currently in the spindle.

[deadlykitten]

thank you, it worked

* what case is 1% ?

[ghyman]

Glad it worked!

If the power drops out during a tool change, then the variable may still contain the previous tool number, and of course, manually changing a tool.

thank you
