• The G43, G44 and G49 commands are modal, so the current tool offset
remains active until LC executes another tool offset command, or until
LC cancels tool offset as described above. Note that you may only use
one type of tool length compensation (G43 or G44) in a G-Code
program.
• The M06 command does not move the machine tool to the Tool
Change Position. This is done using the G28 command described
above. It’s good practice to place the G28 command in the line
directly preceding the M06 command.
• It’s good practice to use the G43 command in the line directly
following the M06 command.
The following example illustrates proper use of the tool change and tool length
compensation commands.
Example:
The tool library is shown below.
