CHANGE TOOL NUMBER (T)
It’s your responsibility to make sure that the carriage is in a safe place for changing tools (for example, by using G30). This allows optimization of motion which can save time. A pause for manual intervention can always be provided by an M00 or M01 before the tool change.
TROUBLESHOOTING
It’s an error if:
- A negative T number is used
- A T number larger than 54 is used
