Hey everyone,

I've been setting tool offsets by touching off all tools on the table and inputting the distance from the table to part Z zero in the work offset. It's been my go-to method, and it has worked well for me.

Now, I'm dealing with a Fanuc 18M control, and I'm wondering if this approach can be applied here. Can anyone confirm if this method can be used on the Fanuc 18M, or is there a different process I should follow?

Your insights would be much appreciated!

Thanks a bunch!

hi, i am not a fanuc guy, but simply initialize 2 tools with different lenght, then init wcs, call them and check position

is that easy

2 different machines can use same method, as long as their axis and directions are identical; on okuma vmc, z axis is + towards up, and z offset is + towards down / kindly
