IMHO there are two posibilities depending on the Motion controler and Motors (servos/Steppers) you are using.

1st: precise/indexed homing 
      -if you have a Motion controler witch supports index homing and servo Motors you have normally a real good Chance to do a precise
       homing (zero pulse from servo resolver)
      if you use Steppers the possibilities of an precise homing are very "limited"

2nd. as Rich sayed a probing Input would be a Option (does not matter witch Motors you have) to get a "accurate" x-axis Position.


sorry for my bad bavarian english

this macro file: RunScript("SinumerikATC12Macros\M6StartROTATC")
would be interesting, looks like it does all the ATC functions.

toolchanges are normaly handled by M6Start and M6End macros, depending on what you have selected in Config -> General Config

this is the code of a simple M6Start macro:

Code: [Select]

  tool = GetSelectedTool()
  SetCurrentTool( tool )
  Code "G43 H"&tool

witch will set the new toolnumber and the correct tool length witch is set in the tooltable.
