Was an option, and usually only with live tooling. Not real common on those old machines.

LC-20 lathe spindle to orient
is it with milling function?
wont work with just M19 or
some alarm or error message?

Hey Al,
Read the original post!
kwhite2 stated that it was looking for "spindle orient spec"!
i.e. that is what the alarm message is.

Sorry kwhite, but if your machine is asking for a spec code then you do not have that option available.

Is your machine an LC20M? i.e. does it have the live spindle option on turret A?

If your machine does have the milling option then there are other problems.

For future reference, please state the full alarm code string as displayed on screen, it does help lots.

Cheers
Brian.

Could be its an indexer; will stop and lock at 5 degree angles for example, you need to find out the spec of the machine and OSP type to give us a clue.
