Program them into an eia sub like above.

yep, even had them put the cutoff insert upside down! i guess 5 seconds is to long to remember which way it was before you removed it.

Yes most of our lathes have Tool probes. I use cutoff...

We are running 2 and 3 turret lathes with sub spindles.(lots of wshfts!)and most of the parts we run can be ran on any of the machines. The wshifts are not in the main programs because all the...

Here is an example of how i use it.

On our lathes we might have several re occuring jobs we run on the machine. Most of the tools are common between jobs but not always. I program in my work...

i have only used G131 when transfering from one spindle to another. Sorry for the bum steer.

have you tried to reset your pickoff point? It might think your part is to long or to short.

very simple to write a mazatrol program to reset the tool. Create a Measure unit and follow the prompts at the bottom. change the tool and call the program from MDI (M98P9000) and go

THier is a parameter that can be set to share variables. For example you put "10" in the parameter(sorry dont recall which one) and then #500-#509 will be common to both turrets. Look thru the...

Make a subprogram that checks all the tool offsets for max X stick out as Boston said. After you touch off a tool Run the program from MDI.

Check out G112. Its been awhile but you call G112 that sends commands to the subspindle. G112M3S1000.

I think its a gcode to switch between spindles.

#4120 is usually Tool in spindle. Not sure of ready tool though

can it be added? I use , alot and i am having to find and replace just to run a backplot.

just a suggestion

i would like to know this also. Maybe it is an option? Our FH480 wont airblast with the spindle on.

if your programming in EIA you could do it. use the system variable for the clock(#3012) as a way to steer the program.

ex.

G1Z-1.0
IF[#3012GT160000]GOTO2
U-.002(FEED BAND)
U.002
N2Z-3.0

T025025.01 B27

T025025 = Tool number(025)Tool Offset(025)
.01= suffix (.01=A,.02=B)
The B27 stages the next tool(T027027)

Dont forget that you can also index the pallet while you toolchange.

T1M6B180

Try M199P(program number)Q1 inplace of the M30. Or try M198P(program number)Q1 inplace of M99.
