We have a Mighty Viper VMC 2100 with Fanuc 18I controls. Ok here’s the issue, we’re trying to pick up a dual angle head off the table. Do to the weight and length we had to make a cradle for the tooling to mount to the table. The problem is that I can’t clamp or unclamp on the head without getting a “1013 Tool Clamp Abnormal” error. We are trying to get a sub wrote using M10-M11. Inputting this in MDI as M10 or M11 will physically Open or Close the spindle but with the error and it doesn’t matter were the spindle is (I.E on the table or in the standard tool change position). Is there a parameter that I have to shut off using G10-G11, or is there another M code set I’m missing that will work?

TIA
