    When you started up the machine, did you first send the 3 axis to the home position, and then the toolchanger to the home position?
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    (Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my own and are not necessarily those of CNCzone and its management)

    How that?

    I'm already sent the 3 axis to the home position by doing calibration to the machine.
    But how i can send the toolchanger to the home position?

    Very easy answer, get your boss to buy the programming manuals I got ready for you and all the answers you seek are there in the books.

    Tool change position

    If the machine is a double column you can do G30 Y0. Z0.; If it is just a single and zero return is not the same as tool change position then G30 Z0.; should do it. Also make sure all your tool address are set to different numbers.
