Sachin,

Looking at your Toolman file it appears the you only have a 4 position tool changer. If you are wanting to create more tool numbers, to be run out of those same 4 positions, you can mirror the settings of positions 1 thru 4 and use them for tools 5 thru 8 and so on, until you have the 18 tools set up that you want. You can find more information on this in the Tool Management section of your Supercontrol manual.

As far as calling tools, that will depend on your software version, but the current method for calling a tool for a programmable speed spindle is as follows;

S18000 (spindle speed)
T1 M3 (tool call and spindle start code)

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Once you have your tool entered 1 through 18 Then go back and organize them for a particular porpose in groups of 4 and assign to a GROUP because you will want to change them in groups of 4 In my case GROUP 1 are my NESTED BASE CABINET TOOLS and they are numbers 101, 102 ,103 , 104 and GROUP 2 are my carving tools numbered 201.202,203, 204 this way you can write code and measure them by the group I don,t know if this is what you are requesting or not ,but this is how I handle my tool since I also only have a 4 position bar .
