OK, this is really starting to hurt.. Some of you may remember that we bought a daewoo puma 12 a lil while ago.. We had it up and producing parts and all of a sudden the turret decided to get lost. Tried everything and eventually found out that a couple bolts on the inside decided to just give up and throw their heads off. So, got that all fixed and ready to put the turret back on. Well, the turret can go on 2 ways.. So we boot it up, tell it to do a tool change, it moves, then it won't do it again. Only way we can get it to do another tool change is by a reboot.. Now our trustworthy machine fixer upper guy has been out here alot longer than he should be.. We have some diagrams, and books but their not helping at all so I'm pleading to you guys..
Does anyone here know anything about how a daewoo knows what tool it is currently on?
Oh, I did forget to mention, after it does a tool change and wont do another, there is no alarm at all..

Just when you thought you had it all figured out, all hell breaks loose..
