    BT40 tooling in a CT40 toolchanger and spindle?

    I am looking at a VMC that has a CT40 spindle and carousel/umbrella type toolchanger and a Fanuc control.
    Problem is that I have BT40 tooling and would prefer to use it.

    Is there an inexpensive way to change the toolchanger to make it hold BT40? I realize that I’d need to adjust the parameter for the tool change Z axis position (what parameter is this on Fanuc?).

    You will need to change the carousel fingers as well as change the height setting
    As for what parameter it varies between controls so please advise model number
