Greetings! I created a tcp tool (a spindle for a robot), I create a unit, the slope and the trajectory work out everything as it should, but when I change the cutter (I change the offset), it does not change, why can this be? Or rather, in the simulation, it changes, but when executing the UE on the robot, it is always at the same distance from the workpiece. I will be grateful for help

I'm not super familiar with the workflow for Sprutcam, so I have some questions for you that might help solve your issue.
Do you know if changing the cutter/tooling changes the UTOOL/Tool frame values in sprutcam or does it actually offset the toolpath (and thus the .TP point positions after the post-processing)? If it only changes the UTOOL values (which is suspect it does) then you will need to change/update the utool value on the actual robot as well. The .TP programs do not contain any actual frame/tool position data, they just select which tool and frame the robot should use.
Many finished robot machining applications that utilize tool paths generated from CAD/CAM like sprut or Mastercam/robot master will also have the robot automatically "search" or calibrate and update the Utool values with something like a through-beam sensor or tool length touch-off, as the real-world setup rarely matches your cam config.
