Re: Auto Tool Touch Off & Tool Change Command Programming Help

Thank you! That worked perfectly for preventing the machine from crashing during a tool change when it's in the home position.

I’ve been trying different M6 macros to stop the machine from moving in a straight line back to the probe during batch measurements after the first tool change, but no luck ...
