GE Fanuc Automation
Version: 2
GFTE-557E-EN
With this application program it’s now possible to handle the Sauter-Turret with GE Fanuc Controls
(i-Series Model-B only) because the function “Cursor Position Reading Function in the Tool Geometry
Offset Screen” is only for Model-B available.
The assumption is that the programmed T command T0514 is calling the tool geometry offset
number 14 with a mounted tool at tool post 05.
For the PMC program is the tool post 05 the active tool post.
