Hi,

We are using a machine with a bar puller, manufacturing multiple components. We want to be able to "reload table, to add wear offsets, while machin is running. but this option is not available while a program is running, or not even available when we pause the program. Which leaves us with the only option at the moment is to stop the program, and "reload Table".

We are using t2M6, to change the tool, then g43H2 to load workshift, then using g43.2h22 to load wear offsets. this works perfectly, and we are using this successfully, we don't want to change this method, we just want the "reload table" option to be available while program is running.

Even if we have to pause the program in order to do this, that will be fine, but to stop the program in the middle of a bar, then we loose the part count settings, and have to be very carefull about the remaining stock on the bar.

assistance on this will be greatly appreciated.

(with the Fanuc controls, it is possible to change wear offsets while machining.)

I think that the way to do what I think that you might want to do is to use G10. That changes the "live" offsets, and the changes will be saved to the tool table.
