Hello Everyone,

We have just acquired an Hyundai SPT-V30 Machining center with a 14 position ATC. This machine was made in 1998 and is in very good condition. We received it in last week on Friday and over the weekend I connected power and air.

I have no user manuals for this machine. While I am not completely new to CNC mills, this particular machine is new new to me and the ATC is new to me.


I am not at all familiar with installing tools into the ATC or into the spindle without the use of the ATC (if that is an option). There are some instructions on the machine in broken English that hint about moving the spindle to the tool change position in order to install a tool holder into the ATC. No idea how to do that. In MDI I am able to execute a tool change (M6 T5 and the magazine works fine, Z goes up and mag rotates then Z comes down to load the tool, if there was a tool to load!

My question is how do I position the Z in the "tool change position"? Simply bringing the Z up will trip an over travel.


Anyone using one of these machines? Any advise on loading tools into the ATC?

Any idea where to purchase a user manual?


Thanks,

Kevin
