CONCISE GUIDE FANUC 14
When a tool is called up, the turret rotates so as to follow the shortest path, whether clockwise or anti-
clockwise.
In the machines provided with hydraulic turrets, there are two functions to select the desired turret rotation
direction. These functions are M16 and M46.
M16 forces the clockwise rotation of the turret disk.
M46 forces the anti-clockwise rotation of the turret disk.
Example:
N3 ……….
N4 T101 ; Tool selection T1 shortest path
N5 ……….
N6 T303 M16 ; Tool selection T3 in clockwise rotation
N7 ……….
N8 T606 M46 ; Tool selection T6 in anti-clockwise rotation
N9 ……….
In some cases it may be useful to make movements without any corrector active or rather, without taking
into account the tool length, for example to bring the turret in the smallest overall dimension zone when
using automatic loaders or such like. The function that disables the tool correctors is T0. To reactivate the
correctors it is sufficient to call up a tool.
T0 does not rotate the turret disk.
