Hi All,

First time poster! I'm a relative newcomer to the CNC world. Currently working on a Proform ATC 32/21 running NC Studios software. Wanting some advice if possible, as the spindle keeps returning to the tool holder to the left of the tool selcted when requesting a tool change and crashing. I've Wrecked one tool holder and nervously hovered over the emergency stop button to stop it short the second time! Any idea why it would be doing this all of a sudden? Do i need to reset all the tools, Heights etc? Any help much appreciated!

Do you Home the machine every time you start up your machine??

Do you Remove the last Tool used before you shut down the Machine??

Have you made any Parameter Changes in the Control??

Has your Tool Rack moved out of position from the crash, this will need to be checked??

Your best way to test to see what is happening is to remove all tools except for Tool 1 from the rack, with no Tool in the Spindle use MDI mode enter T1 and see if it goes and gets the Tool. move X /Y axis away from the Tool changer and do the same, put Tool #4 in the Rack and do a T4 call and see if it put Tool #1 back and picks up Tool #4

Cut and Paste your Program here that shows your Tool change, your program has to have the correct format for it to work reliably.
