    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    Just checking back to this, something occurred to me:

    Changing a tool mid-cycle (delta 20)

    Is there a way to change/replace a broken tool mid-cycle without losing place in the program?

    I'm not seeing any voltage between 2 and 3, or 2 and 5,. No matter how many clicks. Does that mean the handwheel is toast?
