The torch is always mounted exactly the same in teh mount, what changed was the consumables and that gave a different height for each combination that was used. Those variables were stored in teh tool table so that when A tool # was called you simply used teh variable for that tool to offset teh torch for that particular Material/Cut/consumables combination. I transfered those offsets values into a # var from teh M6 macro so teh TOM was always accurate AND I did not hav eto fool wilth it After it was all setup.
Then IF I cut 3/4 " plate and used a specific combination of consumables teh TOM routine would always run correctly based on Tool# . 3/4 " plate would always be tool#6. Thin Sheet Goods where I used a finecut setup it was tool#1 ,etc,etc.
You like buttons, I like automation(;-) I want the machine to work for ME not ME work for it.
BY the way the machine used a Probe setup similar to yours that is why it was important to change teh TOM offset values.
