Machine: Hyundai Kia SKT 460 Lathe
Control: Fanuc 21i-TB
First time with having the luxury of an automatic tool presetter, only problem is it doesn't exactly seem all that automatic other than being provided the Mcodes and a little switch on the controller. I know I'm missing something here so I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction.
My question is, how do I use the presetter comparable to the way HAAS runs theirs? Such as the Z axis automatically jogging the tool to the presetter and touching the tool off both while setting up the tool before a program and while in mid program?
I tried my best to look through the vast depths of the internet before I bother anyone with the question, but I wasn't able to come across anything. Thanks for anyone who can give me a hand.
