    Question Tool carousel pot

    Greetings,
    Does anyone know the command to call out a carousel "pot" tool change in Fanuc?
    for instance, in a Haas controller, A T6 M6 will tool change tool 6 , but if I want to call out a pot, a P6 M6 will work. Is there a command like this for Fanuc? Thanks so much for the time.

    Ok, but if I call T1, tool one will stage. But if tool one is not in the pot I want staged, that does not give me the "pot" I want. Say I have no idea what tool number is in pot 1, then how can I just tool change that "pot"? I'm looking for that command.

    only M6 will do a tool change with the pot on the standy position.

    This is a program that just change tools, maybe you serve to get an idea:
    %O1000
    N1 G49 G64 G17 G80 G0 G90 G40 G99
    N2 T0009 M6
    N3 T0001 M6
    N4 T0009 M6
    N5 M30
    %
    I have a Supermax ycm vmc 60-a with a fanuc om controller, is a new machine in my factory, i dont know how to change the tools manually,Does anyone know?
